I’ve taken steps back and taken steps forward.
I’ve grown better in some way and have grown worse in others.
Not this version of me.
Vadim Sadovski
A lot has changed since weve seen each other.
Ive been through hell.
Ive been through breakdowns.
Ive experienced a million little failures and a million little successes.
Ive taken steps back and taken steps forward.
Ive grown better in some way and have grown worse in others.
Im not the same girl who you used to text at midnight.
Im not the same girl who you used to share drinks with over dinner.
Im not the same sweet, innocent, hopeful girl who you used to say you loved.
I used to be softer but time has hardened me to stone.
You would probably consider that a bad thing, but its something Im proud to say about myself.
Im no longer the bang out of person who is going to let you get away with murder.
Im not going to let you disrespect me.
Im not going to let you look me in the eyes and lie.
Im going to put up a fight.
Im going to make sureyouknow you arent going to be able to take advantage of me.
I know my worth.
I know my standards.
And I know what is and is not acceptable when it comes to the way others treat me.
Im not going to let my personal feelings get in the way of my standards.
Im going to verify to surround myself with positivity.
Im no longer willing to put up with anyone who brings me down.
I used to be selfless.
I would do anything for anyone.
I didnt eventhinkabout my own happiness.
Happiness was a myth at the time.
Now, I ensure to put myself first.
I take care of my body, heart, and soul.
I treat my mental health as my first priority.
Everything else comes second.
Im not the same person youve been saying you miss.
I dont think you would want anything to do with me at all.
