the girl who stopped waiting for his text and started living — that's her era now.
we spend so much time waiting for him to text back that we forget we were happy before we even met him. then he texts and we're happy for five minutes before we start wondering what he meant by that.
when we get into the relationship and we want more effort. more time. more proof. more love. and when he gives it we're already scared it won't last.
and when it ends we tell ourselves we'll be happy again when we find someone better. so we find someone better. and the whole cycle starts again.
nobody told us that the love we were chasing out there was supposed to start in here first.
that no person, no text, no relationship was ever going to fill the part of us that didn't feel like enough on its own.
the girl who is at peace with herself doesn't chase. she doesn't read into every message. she doesn't shrink herself to keep someone comfortable.
she doesn't need the relationship to be happy — she just enjoys it when it's good and lets it go when it's not.
that's not being cold. that's knowing your own worth before anyone else gets the chance to.
you were whole before him. you'll be whole after. start believing that now — not when he comes back, not when someone new shows up — now. 🤍
