Why do people break up with someone they find and love because they’re scared that that person is going to eventually break up with them later on? Why does pain and being hurt in past relationships have to cause pain and unnecessary crap in current/future relationships?

I, like many of my friends and I bet like lots of people, have broken up with the love of my life because I tend to lose confidence in my self-worth, thinking that he would eventually break it off with me because I suck at life.

Thank goodness I caught a great one who’s understanding and wouldn’t let go of me no way no how! But it’s true, I know many people who have done it or are doing it right now… letting go of the one you love because you think they’ll end up just like past relationships… breaking up with you at some point. It’s hard to completely move on and pretend like the past never happened. It’s hard to let go of the memory of the pain you felt before.

I just have to keep reminding myself of my self-worth and that I really am worth having someone so understanding and patient… someone who would risk his life just to keep me. I AM WORTH HAVING SOMEONE WHO I CAN LOVE AND WHO CAN LOVE ME IN RETURN. And it’s wonderful when you remember, yet harsh when you forget.

Props to Byn for reminding me my self-worth when I went through rough times. I never looked at it like that until we had a little chat about love and life.

“Love like you’ve never been hurt.“

AMEN.
