To that girl who can’t move on,

No more late night text? No more I love you’s and I miss you’s? No more holding hands in the street? No more weekend dates? I know you’re gonna miss all of that because you’ve lost you’re best bud, partner in crime and a friend. Someone who was willing to spend the rest of his life with you. What happened? Did he get tired of you? Or is it simply because he doesn’t love you anymore? Nothing can break a relationship other than the fact that he doesn’t love you anymore. Do you think he left you just because he’s tired? Do you think he left you just because he doesn’t trust you anymore? No. He will not because if he truly loves you he will just regenerize when he’s tired, he will just trust you more when the trust is gone and when he doesn’t love you anymore he will not try to make it work. He broke up with you because he doesn’t love you anymore, no more bullshits. It is simply because he doesn’t love you anymore.

Does it still hurt? I know it is but I also know that you’re strong. It is okay to get hurt but it is not okay not to wake up. Wake up from your dream, he will not come back anymore. Don’t lose your worth, your mom didn’t carry you on her womb just so someone could hurt you. You matter. You’re not just some worthless little girl lost in the streets. You are that girl who deserves a red carpet because you’re not just somebody. You are your father’s princess and your mother’s life. Your life was beautiful before he came and you can make it more beautiful after he left. It is on you. Waiting will be the most dull part of your life. Do you want it to be more dull? Or you want it to be very anticipating? Yes you can wait but no you can’t just wait and do nothing. Do something worth remembering so you can forget that you’re waiting. I’m not saying that you should still wait for him to come back instead distract yourself so that you will not look dumb.

Girl, there are so many things ahead of you. The world doesn’t revolve around him and he’s not your world. He hurt you, so stop pretending that it is okay because it is obviously not. He left you but that doen’t mean your life must stop because it is only the start of something that you would love to see. Life is beautiful so maybe this is your chance to enjoy life with yourself. Go on adventures. Get lost. In the end, find yourself, be happy and contented.
