Break ups are hard to get through, especially right after they happen. We think it will never get better and wonder what our "new normal" will be without this person. We tend to sit around for days, crying, binge eating ice cream and blowing up our friends phones talking about what happened. This was me after my last relationship. You think you really love someone and they break your heart. That's life though, right?
I have learned that there is no point in hating someone over what they did to you. It is much easier to let go of the hate, ill feelings and grudges. You'll find yourself much happier if you do this.
I found that the best thing is to thank all of your failed relationships for the lessons they taught you.
So, thank you.
Thank you for breaking my heart. By doing so, I found my inner strength by putting myself back together. I hold my head higher than ever. I never knew I could be this strong for myself.
Thank you for putting that extra bounce in my step. I found a new sense of confidence because of you. It's a self love that I have never had before. You never really loved me, so finding love for myself has been the best gift.
You showed me that I am able to love someone with all of my heart. I am able to give someone the world. I am worth it. And one day, when someone wants the world I have to offer, they will appreciate what you never did.
You allowed me to find my way and my path for myself. Instead of living for you, I am living for me. I am happy because I made myself happy.
You showed me that I am smart. I'm smart enough to walk away when I am not being treated how I deserve to be treated.
You showed me how much I will take from one person and when to stop giving someone chances. Now, I don't let people walk all over me and I stick up for what I feel is right.
You showed me that I am really all I have to rely on.
So thank you. Thank you for allowing me to discover all of these strengths inside me that I didn't realize I had. I am thankful for having you because without you, I would not be who I am today.
