I know you're expecting me to say screw your or that I hate you, but I'm not going to. I'm actually going to say thank you.

You may not have cared for me the way I did for you, but that never made me want to care for anyone any less. Actually, it made me want to care for people more, and that's what I did. With each one of you passing through my life, I wanted to give and continue to give all I had.

The relationships we had never worked and I believe there is a reason for that. I learned different things from being with you.

I learned that I should never change myself for someone else. If I'm changing anything about myself, it should be for me and because that's what I want to better myself.

I learned that I cannot always blame myself for what goes wrong. But it is also not always someone else's fault. Sometimes there is an equal fault or no fault at all.

I also learned that I can't help everyone. One of my biggest flaw was and still is the constant need to help people. Sometimes I felt like I could help the guys I dated, but that wasn't always true.

I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. So yes, there was a reason why my previous relationships never worked out. Whether it was a good or bad reason, it helped me grow as a person.

There is still a lot I could thank you for even though we never worked out.

Thank you for helping me learn to accept myself. Because some of you didn't really accept me for how I was, I had to be the one to do so.

Thank you for letting me care for you. Though it seemed that I always cared more, in a way you showed me the amount of care that I deserved by not caring for me the same.

Thank you for letting me go. Since you let me go, I was able to find myself and figure out what I needed in my life. Because you let me go, I was able to try again with someone new.

Thank you for showing me what I actually deserve. I wasn't always treated the best but I was able to learn what I deserved even though I had trouble with that. I learned that I deserve as much as I give.

Thank you for giving up on me. I know this sounds bad, but really, thank you. If you didn't give up on me, I wouldn't have learned all the things I did. If you didn't give up on me, I wouldn't have grown from these relationships. If you didn't give up on me, I probably wouldn't be able to say I'm becoming happier with myself.

But overall, thank you for giving me the opportunity to love someone else. Because of all that I learned from being with you, I bettered myself. I also didn't settle for anything less than what I deserved. Now I'm in a very happy and very strong relationship. My relationship is healthy because I did learn from my past. And I have you to thank for it.
