Love

This one has no title

I've learned something these last few months. You can fall in love with the wrong person. You can believe that the person you’re absolutely in love with is the one for you, but then you find out they’re not. They’re not the person you thought they would be and they won’t fight for you when something big happens. They just allow it to happen and move on as if your relationship did not happen.

Then, you suffer through excruciating emotional distress thinking that you've lost everything you wanted and needed. You go through the worst days of your life thinking that nothing will be the same and that you've become worthless.

You sink into an indescribable depression, not sadness, but true depression. You begin to go to school not caring about how you look and you cry every night because you think you will never get “the love of your life back.” You put yourself through s*** because you think you deserve it.

But guess what? You don’t. In reality you gained the freedom to find the real person who will care and fight for you. A person who will not just move on the moment you do something incredibly stupid. The person who will fly miles away or drive a few minutes away to see you. They won’t deny you and that will be the right person for you. In reality, nothing was your fault. It may have seemed that way, but it wasn't. Sometimes relationships don’t work and no one is worth your suffering unless you are suffering together and are working through your problems.

So don’t cry and harm yourself over some boy or girl who you “lost”. They lost you and now you can find your Prince Charming or your beautiful princess. You've been given another chance at love, all you have to do I be yourself and wait for love to come to you. It will never be easy, nothing ever truly is, but if it’s worth fighting for within so many people then it’s worth waiting for as well.
