I found lessons in every heart break. After the darkness fades, and you start to mental accept what you can’t change, things get brighter. You start to realize what is meant for you and is what is not. Furthermore, you realize you didn’t love yourself enough to identify the red flags for what they were and leave at that moment. Being soft and not being able to say “no” or “I am worth more!” leaves us stuck struggle with our own thought and hurting ourselves even more.
I think it’s a form of abuse to yourself, to mentally know something isn’t good for you but still continue to try. As if things will get better. You have to learn to accept people at their face value and move accordingly. Otherwise you will be ran over like road kill or worse, left for dead while they continue to hurt you in the same ways. The biggest lesson for me is learning about my self worth and saying No!
