It can be so much easier to place the weight of our heartbreaks on someone elses shoulders.
But as much as we may venture to deny it, we break our own hearts every day.
We break our own hearts when we stay, despite knowing deep down that something feels wrong.

We break our own hearts when we let our love for someone else overpower all of our other needs.
We break our own hearts when we place them in the hands of people who just cant hold them.
We break our own hearts when we give them to people who are simply not the ones for us.
Just because you love someone doesnt mean that theyre the one for you.
The right person will want to celebrate you in the sunshine.
They will want to be by your side for all of your victories, too.
That is someone who deserves your heart.
Dont let someone else question your friendships or undermine your relationships.
Dont let someone else venture to convince you that they are the only one who is worth your time.
The right person will want to celebrate you alongside all of the other people who love you, too.
That is someone who deserves your heart.
The right person will be proud of you when you succeed, and will appreciate your passions.
They will want to fall in love with the way that you express your passions.
The right person will also allow you to make mistakes without demeaning who you are as a person.
That is someone who deserves your heart.
I hope you learn that while everyone deserves your kindness, not everyone deserves your heart.
You were not put on this Earth to love the broken pieces of other people back together.
As much as you’re free to try, your love will not be enough for that.
But you cannot be the only reason why theyre doing it.
I hope you learn that you cannot convince someone else to love you.
More than anything, I hope you learn how to stop breaking your own heart.
So many things in life will lead you into heartbreak.
You dont have to be one of them.
