You Are Enough


In past relationships I used to feel weak. I felt weak because I just wanted the relationship to work and I wouldn’t really speak about issues that bothered me because I wanted to avoid an argument. I would bite my tongue many times just to move on from the situation. Sometimes I would just apologize, even if I were right just to keep the peace. I so badly just wanted that person to go back to being the person I fell for. But what I learned was the person I fell for was no longer the same. I soon realized that there was no peace to keep because it was gone. I wasn’t putting myself first and I let things slide just because I wanted the relationship to last.

I was naïve and gullible to think that a person who sees no wrong in what they do can change. Looking back on how I was, is sad. I was so broken and obviously had issues with not feeling like I was good enough to walk away. I stayed in that relationship until my heart simply couldn’t take it. I’ll say I’m happy I’ve grown into a woman that knows I’m more than enough.

I get it’s hard for you to leave someone because you see the potential in them to be better. You have faith that they will change for you and become that person you fell for and had good times with. You hope to be with this person possibly forever. However, if this person becomes toxic to you and your health, and you don’t want to let go of the relationship you’re feeding their toxicity.

Believe that you can do better, and just maybe they’ll see that and change themselves for the better.
