You deserve better.
You deserve more than you think. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel wanted. You deserve to know the truth. You deserve to smile every day. You deserve to laugh. You deserve to live the happiest life you can.
Things get in the way of life sometimes and you lose track of yourself. You get lost in all the commotion and other events going on in your life, that you forget your worth. You get used to getting treated poorly. You get used to being stood up and not answered. You are used to having plans cancel on you last minute. And you get used to the feeling of not being important.
Although there is a reason why you allow yourself to get treated like this. You want to keep certain people in your life so bad that you believe everything they say to you and you believe that the way they are treating you is the way you should be treated. You don't want to leave these certain people so you convince yourself that the way they are treating you is "OK." You give up so much for them, but sometimes you still think it's not enough because you don't get the same in return. You would drop what you are doing to go help them and see them when they needed you, but they wouldn't do the same for you. You stay up late at night thinking about them and wondering if you are on their mind too. When this happens time after time, you convince yourself that "it's okay the way they are treating me. I want to keep them in my life because they mean a lot to me".
But take a step back and know your worth. When you know you have been treated better in the past, stop and realize that. Open your eyes and see that if you put in 110% and do not receive the same effort back, and that's not right. Realize that you deserve better whether you want to believe it or not. Realize that when people around you are telling you that you deserve better, believe them and go find better. Don't lower yourself for someone who doesn't see the good in you. Whether they see the good in you only at certain times, understand and know that they should see the good in you all the time.
Understand that when people are telling you that you deserve better, they are doing it to protect you in the long run. They can see within their own eyes that you are not happy 100% of the time you should be. They see the effort you are constantly putting in, but not getting back in return. They see the let down in your eyes every time you are lied to, stood up, or disappointed.
You are worth more than you will ever know. It will be hard to let go, but in the long run, it is what will be best for you. It is how you will be happiest in the future when you find someone that gives you what you deserve. You will never see that you deserve better until you find better. Instead of saying you deserve better, realize your worth and go out there and find better. You are worth the world to someone out there and always remember that.
