You are the woman who forgives, who loves, who cares unconditionally.
There is nothing wrong with that; in fact, your forgiving heart is beautiful.
But you must also protect yourself, too.
Ioana Casapu
But in the back of your mind, you know better.
In the back of your mind, you know youre being taken advantage of.
Youve lived the better half of your life putting others before yourself.
When someone pushed you down, you forgave them, without question.
When your significant other cheated, you gave him another chance.
When someone walked out of your life, then later wanted to return, you opened the door.
Ioana Casapu
And first, you must know that this isnt necessarilybad, its just not healthy.
Not when the behavior continually repeats itself.
And not when theres no true remorse or amends made to fix your broken heart.
And you dont deserve that pain.
The world looks at women like you with disgust sometimes.
You are not weak, though.
Where you lose your strength is not in the act of forgiving, but when forgiveness comes without change.
When you let someone in who isnt truly sorry for breaking your heart.
Sometimes people cant love you the way you love them.
And sometimes you forgive people who might not be worthy of that kindness yet.
Thats no reflection on you.
You just have to learn to take better care of your heart.
Start loving yourself with the same tenacity and capacity you keep giving to everyone else.
