Moving On

I figure this has to be one of the hardest decisions in life. You plan life out with someone and they end up being the total opposite. The more you hold on the lesser your value is into that person’s eye. I know why we hold on, it’s because we’re afraid to see the other move on without us but just think and reevaluate if this person is for me why am I hurting? Why am I confused and left feeling abandoned?

My uncle told me years ago “love shouldn’t hurt,” it stuck with me a long while. You see love is peaceful, it brings comfort, it’s happiness, it takes patience, but most importantly it takes two!

My idea mate is someone who is understanding, kind, compassionate, someone who leads, a person who loves deeply and enjoy family time, someone I can be open with, someone who would love and accept me and my child that’s my type of love. In everything I listed my person showed me different so moving on wasn’t just something I had to do it became something I needed to do.

Love had a stronghold on me that I accepted the bare minimum. Now as life passes me by I’m able to stand firm and set boundaries because moving on has strengthen me. If I hadn’t chose to walk away I’d be just another good woman wasting her potential on a man who isn’t ready.

I stand firm in who I am, yes I love consistency & flowers would make my day. I solely believe life after you has been my greatest joy. I can breathe now, when I look at me I see a greater value in who I am. Life’s greatest lesson was moving on as God orchestrate my life.

Sometimes moving on is the hardest pill we have to swallow but I refuse to let an unsure soul continue to dampen my unique spirit. One day you’ll realize and yes you’ll try to come back and that is when you’ll realize I am no longer weak to you. I took my power back and you’ll watch me succeed in every aspect of my life.

I wish you realized what you had before I walked away. You’ll no longer be able to manipulate me, talk down on me or make me feel low. Im loving me now, I’ve decided to put me first!

-Farewell ❤️
