I know it’s not easy, but you have to stop doing this to yourself. You continuously keep placing your own happiness on to other people. It’s not healthy. And you will keep getting hurt.

I know you’re already hurt. And I know it’s easier to forgive and forget and to go back to your old ways after a few good cries, but if you don’t change then you will always be dealing with this.

Why waste your time with the same old people doing the same old things if it’s not contributing to your happiness? Better yet, why waste time on people that don’t care about you?

I understand it can be easier to look to others to fill a void rather than trying to confide in yourself. But the main problem, that I’m sure you’re already finding, is that people are temporary. However, you aren't.

Think about your future. Think about what you want out of life. Think about those around you that need you.

If you want to be able to be there for other people you have to be able to be there for yourself.

I know insecurities are tough and self-confidence is hard to build, but I know you are strong and I know you are tough.

You are capable of owning your own happiness. It just takes time and it just takes strength.

The more you place your happiness on other people, the more you will be let down.

Let’s be honest, we are naturally selfish. Therefore, if those around you aren’t going to care how they affect you, then you have to care for yourself!

You are capable of great things on your own, whether you believe it or not. You have the power to be strong and to be the holder of your own happiness.
