Shine On!

"No matter how strong a person is, there will always be someone out there who makes them weak." Maybe we don't know who that person is. Maybe we do. Maybe it's a good kind of weak. Maybe it's a bad kind of weak. The point is: only you can know. You control your own happiness. I ask myself, "Why did this happen to me?" It's because I let it happen. I let myself get hurt the same way I let myself be happy before. The hard part is remembering what made you happy before. But really, that's all you have to do. You don't have to forget the person who you let hurt you, but remember the good things that happened to you before and during the relationship. Dwelling on the relationship as a whole will just bring you sadness, but remembering happiness can bring happiness. Don't ever try to forget someone who hurt you; learn from them. Tell yourself that you will never put yourself through that again. Focus on your future. Remember that you deserve a future. That person will probably always hold a special place in your heart, but that's okay. They obviously earned the spot they have and it's okay for them to stay there. It's harder to erase someone than it is to just move on. So that's what I'll do. I'll move on. Every time I'm tempted to go back, I'll just remember why it didn't work out in the first place. I'll remind myself that I'm better without him. Not necessarily better alone, but better without him. One day I'll find a real guy. Not a fake one. And that's what every girl deserves. We all deserve a guy who will love us with everything they have. A guy who won't even look at another girl because he already has all he could want. A guy who wouldn't care about your past as long as he had your future. A guy who would never judge you. And I'm not just saying that girls deserve it, but guys deserve great girls, too. I guess I'm just saying that I think everyone has a person who's right for them, and everyone deserves to find that person. No one should ever settle for anything less than butterflies.

I won't go back because he was wrong for me. But if you know that you have the right one, don't let them go. They need you as much as you need them.

I guess that's my inspiration for the day. :)
