Know Your Worth

Love can be an amazing thing; however, one-sided love can be destroying.

You are worth more than how you are/were treated. If he/she puts you down every day, makes you feel unwanted, threatens to leave over every move you make, cusses at you, screams at you, they do NOT deserve you.

If you put so much effort into a relationship to improve it, and your partner doesn't do the same, leave leave leave. Love is a beautiful thing until it gets taken advantage of. If someone can be alright with you crying yourself to sleep, or not feeling good enough for them, beating themselves up trying to figure out what they are doing wrong, just because they're mad. They don't even know the meaning of love.

You deserve someone who is going to put just as much effort into the relationship as you are, someone you can feel comfortable with sharing how you feel, your flaws, the reassurance of feeling loved. You are strong, independent, beautiful, and outstanding and if they can't see that, then they don't deserve you.

Be with someone who makes you feel happy, who makes you feel like you are their first priority, who can take of the stress off your shoulders with just a single hug, who can make you forget about all your insecurities, who can make you feel like you are the most perfect girl in the world.

Most people claim that you can't love someone else until you learn to love yourself. In my opinion, you can love someone so much you forget how much you enmity your own self. The word love is now used entirely too much, sadly not for its actual meaning. The meaning of love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person or a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. Nowhere is it used for verbal, physical, mental/emotional abuse towards your partner or toward you.

If they don't appreciate all you offer them, then why stay? Honestly, I've seen my friends, loved ones, and love-blinded people go through this and it breaks my heart. Coming from personal experience, it sucks. The feeling of not being good enough, regret, emotionally unstable sucks! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Girls, if you think your man or woman doesn't know your worth, leave, and that goes for the guys as much as it does the girls.

Arguing is going to occur in every relationship, that's normal. Everyone gets tense sometimes, but that isn't an excuse for how they handle the argument or their voice/actions. Don't ever let a man/woman raise their hand at you or put fear into you. If anything put fear into them showing what it'd be like if you were gone, for good. If they don't open their eyes then, they never will or when they do it'll be too late.

You are in control of your life, happiness, mind, and actions. So, if you are in love with someone you should never make them feel like I've explained. You should be able to vibe with your partner in a way you've never felt, don't let them use you for any circumstances such as money, sex, etc... I know it'll be hard to let them go but that's not the only option. Tell them how you feel, what needs to change, and if they aren't even willing to do either of those things, then leave. It might be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do, but in the long run you'll regret it if you don't, but if you do you'll slowly but surely feel the relief of getting your self-confidence and happiness back.

YOU ARE WORTHY AND DESERVE THE BEST IN LIFE!

I hope you'll acknowledge that; if you do, I know for certain everything will be OK. Hear me out, it's the best you can do and it will take time to heal.
