“At some point you have to protect yourself. At some point you have to stop trusting the people who keep hurting you. At some point you have to stop giving all you have when you get nothing in return. At some point you have to choose yourself.”
“I deserve someone who cares. I deserve someone who would go out of their way to show me that they want me in their life. I deserve someone who appreciates what I do for them. I deserve someone who won’t treat me as an option, but as an only choice. I deserve someone who is careful with my heart because they know it’s been through a lot. I deserve someone who doesn’t play games and is sure that they want me.
I deserve someone who will help me love myself, not make me hate myself more.
I deserve someone who won’t ever make me feel like I’m not good enough or that I need to compete with other people to get their attention.
I deserve someone who asks about my well being.
I deserve someone who is there for me whenever they know something’s wrong.
I deserve someone who wants to spend time with me, and won’t make me feel guilty for wanting to talk to them.
I deserve someone who will treat me the same when they’re with their friends as they would treat me when we’re alone.
I deserve someone who won’t push me away but will let me in, as I’d do to them.
I deserve better, and I’m not going to settle for anything less anymore.”
