I am not the same girl I was when I was younger.
She saw the best in people, because she didnt know what they were capable of doing yet.
She didnt understand how hard a heart could break.

But now, I am more experienced.
I have been hurt before.
I have been lied to, led on, and betrayed.

My worst days have helped shaped me into someone different.
I am not a pushover anymore.
I am not going to allow anyone to treat me as a backup plan.

I am not going to allow anyone to string me along without making a commitment.
I am not going to give out third and fourth chances anymore.
I am not going to answer someones text if it took them three days to respond to mine.
I am not going to rearrange my schedule to see someone if they keep canceling and rescheduling.
I am not going to use all of my energy to make someone else happy while neglecting myownhappiness.
I am not going to let other people take advantage of me anymore.
Some people might say that I am not asniceanymore.
I let them walk all over me.
But I am happy with who I am now, because I have finally realized my worth.
I have finally raised my standards to where they should have been all along.
