I Ain't Sorry

"I left a note in the hallway , By the time you read it I'll be far away."

I Ain't Sorry

Sorry, I ain't sorry.
Sorry, I ain't sorry.
I ain't sorry.

Why would you be sorry ? There's no need to be. Put yourself first. I mean isn't that what we are suppose to do. Put ourselves first? We like to stay with a guy and tolerate "Deal Breakers" or stay in toxic relationships with friends. Why? Maybe because we are forgetting our own worth and we want to make that other person happy before making ourselves happy. Babydoll, don't you dare. That is the WORST mistake you could possibly make.

There was a guy that I was really into and I mean really into. Everything was going great, I mean no complaints but one day things just switched. He wasn't pursing me , he wasn't doing anything to be honest. I tried to give him chance after chance. I made excuses for him. I said,"oh maybe he's busy."Or "Maybe he's going through a rough time. Well i've learned that when someone wants to do something then they will do it. So after all the crying and what not, I decided to make a move...... that move was to move on. Of course it pained me to leave but I had to do it for myself. I mean no one else is going to do it for you. Now I can honestly say that i'm truly happy. I was always happy but I placed my happiness n him. No one can make you happy but yourself and God.

For another example, my cousin has been going with this guy for a couple of years now. She was madly in love with him and he was madly in love with her. Well as time went by , he wasn't the same. He wasn't doing anything for himself or her. So she decided to make a move. That move was to move on. Now she's in the process of loving herself and finding her worth. She's happier than ever. She's able to embrace "New Things."

We never want to be the one that "left" or "gave up". We want "relationship goals" We want to be able to say ,"Hey I stuck it out and look we are better than ever." Think about it though, are you willing to give up potential happiness ( For yourself) or are willing to stay in something that isn't making you happy which is actually "reality." I don't know about you , but I want to put myself first. If i'm no good to myself then how can I be any good for someone else?

My spiritual mother once told me," You can't have two doors open at the same time." In order for new things to come into your life you gotta let the old things go.

It's okay to walk away. It's okay to say "I'm done." You never know, YOU maybe the catalyst. A catalyst ? What's that ? Catalyst = a person or thing that precipitates an event. You could be in the way of them being great. I know it sounds crazy but it's true. Sometimes we cut off other's progress by interfering. We could be cutting off their comings, their growth. Only because we want to be with them. Sorry honey , sometimes you gotta love from a distance but always love yourself up close. So do what you need to do for you and don't be sorry.

If you keep accepting the same behavior over and over again then they won't feel the need to change. Stop things before they get worse. Do yourself a favor and guard your heart. Proverbs 4:23, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

You want to walk away with something. Honor. Dignity. Respect. Not walk away with a broken heart because they took the step first. Never let the ball be in their court. Always keep the ball in your court.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
