In 2018, I am going to find happiness without you, without any man.
I spent 2017 crying behind bathroom doors and wiping the tears away before anyone could catch them fall.
I lied about being okay, about deserving better than you, about being over you.

I am going to redirect my focus from winning your love to earningself-love.
In 2018, I am not going to hold myself back out of fear.
I am not going to stay in one place.

I am going to sling myself forward.
In 2018, I am going to be more selfish.
I am going to spend money on vacations and fleece blankets and candles.

I am no longer going to think more of your opinion than of my own.
In 2018, I am going to stop equatingsinglewithfailure.
I am going to stop assuming that someone sporting a ring holds more worth than me between their knuckles.
I am going to stop falling in love with everyone who treats me with a sprinkle of kindness.
I am going to stop praying to find my life partner.
I am going to stop forcing myself to fall in love before I am truly ready.
In 2018, I am going to get over you for the first and final time.
I am going to stop punishing myself with unkind words in front of reflections.
I did nothing to cause it.
I could do nothing to stop it.
It was meant to end that way.
It was meant to end.
In 2018, I am going to find happiness without you, without any man.
In 2018, I am going to teach myself thatself-loveis the most important love.
In 2018, I am going to find the strength that has been hibernating within me all throughout 2017.
