2017 taught me to know my worth.

I adopted a carefree attitude.

Im happy where I am.

2017 taught me a lot.

It taught me to open myself up to opportunities and let people in.

I grew immensely as a person and let myself feel more than I thought possible.

Not everyone has your best interest in mind.

And not everyone wants a relationship.

I will be pickier about people whom I open myself up to.

I will keep my expectations high and trust my instincts.

Because Ive learned they really are always right.

I wont let you break my heart in 2018.

I wont let you make me feel inferior.

I wont let you make me feel stupid for wanting someone to talk to.

For wanting someone who can commit.

For wanting someone who actually cares.

I wont let you waste my time.

I wont let you break my heart in 2018.

Because I know my worth.

I would rather be carefree than be constantly worrying about someone who doesnt care about me.

I wont close myself off, but Ill be sure to be more careful with my heart.

Im sick of one-sided relationships where Im always left giving more, feeling more.

Because nobody deserves to be left wondering all the time.

Wondering why theyre not good enough.

Because the truth is, its not about you.

The truth is you wasted your time on someone whos not ready to commit.

Someone who still doesnt know what they want.

Someone who acts like a child.

I wont let you break my heart in 2018.

But if you want my heart, it wont come easy.

Maybe I have built up walls.

Because theyve been broken down so many times, I might not seem so open anymore.

I may not look for love and relationships like I once did.

Ive learned to trust the timing.

And I wont just throw myself out there.

2017 made me strong.

In ways that I didnt think possible.

Happy where I am in life.

To the point where I never want to depend on someone else.

Never want my happiness to be based on my relationships.

I wont let you break my heart in 2018.

But if you want it, its here.

Im waiting for someone who will make it all worth it.

And when that person comes along, maybe it will all make sense.

Everything we go through in life has a purpose.

We must go through mountains, and obstacles, to get where we need to be.

So Ill be waiting.

The one that wont break my heart.
