It is not your job to prove yourself.
After all, who likes to fail at anything?
It also just made me feel as if I was doing something wrong as a person.
Jeffrey Czum
This changed for me upon graduating from college.
I began to realize that people failing me was not a personal failure.
In fact, it absolutely had nothing to do with me, but everything to do with them.
At the end of the day, people will love you or hate you.
No amount of people-pleasing, second chances, even fifth chances will change this.
Learn this and stick to it.
If he/she likes you, he/she will show it.
They wont ghost you or leave you waiting for the next text or even the next date.
Know your worth and move on.
Stop chasing people who wont give you the time of day.
Does it seem like more work than it should be?
Then it probably is.
Why are you crossing mountains for people who wouldnt cross the street for you?
Why are you swimming a race with someone who would let you drown before they let you win?
Something that I learned when I met my current partner is that love is quiet.
If they can make it anyone can.
It should be calm and effortless.
For years all I wanted was for someone to buy me flowers.
I didnt even have to ask my partner when we started dating.
They just showed up for me.
Ironically, I never thought Id be able to find someone like that.
Trust me though, they exist!
So stop buying roses for people who wont even give you a petal.
Forgiveness does not require relationship.
There is nothing wrong with forgiving this person and letting them go.
However, that doesnt mean that you need this person in your life.
As the old saying goes forgive and forget.
