As I’m sitting in bed tonight, I have some heavy thoughts that are weighing on me. No one may read this and that’s okay. But even if one reads it, and it’s helped, then it’s done its job. That one person may be me.
In my years, I’ve let relationships dictate my worth. I’ve had men make me feel less than, treat me disrespectfully, use me, and say some really awful things to me.
I’ve put my neck out a time or two for it to just get broken.
Then I shut down. I wouldn’t end things. I’d just shut down emotionally. Not care anymore. Live in almost a zombie state.
But what I’ve realized, that zombie state, that emotionaldetachment is a guard. A protector. It’s the brains way of saying, nope. No more. It’s not worth your tears, it’s not worth your anger, sadness or any feeling that is unwanted or to make you feel bad.
Know that no one should make you feel less than. No one. Whether it’s a lover, a friend, a job, etc, if that person can’t see your worth, they do not deserve a place in your life. And especially your heart. Fill your life with people who see you, who hear you, and feel you. Fill your life with people who make you happy, who bring you solid joy. Because YOU ARE WORTH IT.
You are worth love, happiness, peace and serenity. Do not let someone tell you otherwise. Take the trash out of your life, leave it behind, where trash belongs.
