I love myself for keeping my standards high.
For saying no to your unanswered texts, your canceled plans, your unspoken compliments.

For sayingnoto your unanswered texts, your canceled plans, your unspoken compliments.
I love myself for standing my ground.
I knew you were only saying what I wanted to hear.

I knew you were never going to change.
I love myself for letting go of the past.
For moving forward without you.

That doesnt mean that our futures are supposed to align.
I love myself for acting this mature.
For saying goodbye instead of causing a scene.
For cutting you out of my life instead of cursing you out.
For letting you go instead of clinging on tightly as you kept pushing me away.
I love myself for doing the right thing instead of the easy thing.
For admitting that I needed to make a change.
I love myself for having such high self-esteem.
For not completely breaking down over our story ending.
For knowing that you are justoneof many people I will love over my lifetime.
For knowing that Im going to find a healthier relationship someday.
For knowing that I am not actually alone.
I love myself for choosing the selfish route.
For not caring whether my absence would hurt you because you already hurt me.
You already had a chance.
You already lost your privilege.
I love myself for growing into the kind of girl who would never stay in an unhealthy relationship.
For refusing to accept less than I have earned.
For knowing my own worth.
For knowing who I am and what I need.
I love myself for finding thestrengthto walk away from someone like you.
From someone I once imagined spending forever alongside.
From someone I loved with all my heart.
From someone who stopped regarding me with respect and started taking me for granted.
I love myself for embracing the single life.
For spending more time with myself.
I love myself for losing you.
