Well, it took us long enough... but we did it. We made it through the one thing we never thought we would make it through, and here we are. We found ourselves. Something we never thought we would gain back.

The wet pillow cases, the restless nights, the phone calls that just wouldn't go through. The thought that never seemed to leave your head: "Why wasn't I good enough?" The text you wanted to send so badly but didn't because you were tired of him/her making you out to be crazy.

It's different for everyone, getting over that one person that you loved so much. The person that claimed to love you. But as we all know, they only loved you when it was convenient for them. If anyone else was around, or if there was a chance that someone could find out that they were talking to you, all of a sudden they didn't love you anymore.

That's what drove you crazy.

The mind games, those were the worst. That's the other thing that kept you wondering for days, weeks, or maybe even months straight. You would look at the pictures you had saved on your phone, the ones from the good times, and you truly believed that person still existed.

Now you know, maybe they do exist... but they aren't good for you. Truth is, you probably aren't good for them either. Sure, you still love them and they will always have a special place in your heart but you know better. You probably even wish them complete happiness. Although songs, movies, words, and other silly things like that still remind you of them, it doesn't hurt anymore.

You've gotten used to the phrase "everything happens for a reason," and that's basically what you live by now.

Although them saying "maybe in 10 years from now, we will find each other again" lingers in your mind (quite often, actually) it doesn't bring tears to your eyes anymore. They can't break your heart for the second time, and you have become strong enough to realize that. You've found yourself again, and that's probably one of the biggest blessings you could have asked for.

You're strong, you know your worth and you're beautiful. You refuse to settle for less, and you hope the same for them. You are ready to take the world by storm in the smallest or biggest way possible. You're content with life but most importantly, you know that everything happens for a reason.
