Forget about him. Study hard, get money, love yourself, travel the world, be honest, make mistakes, be successful, and stay humble. The boy you like right now, he ain’t shit. You will find a man that loves you, deserves you, and recognizes your worth. Just do you for now and don’t let any dumb boy stand in your way.
We loved each other at time when love didn’t know what else to be other than sunlight cascading through my bedroom window.
I know you saw it too. The way it filled all the empty and settled into a place we were both sure couldn’t sustain life no matter how hard it tried. It turns out our hearts had more fight than we were ever willing to acknowledge. We spilled all of the ugly on the table before us during breakfast that summer when we got into our first official fight. We took what we could and used our hands to create something beautiful enough for us to wrap our hopes and dreams around. And so we did. There were many other times after that where we tried to give up on the idea that we were made for each other and still our hearts stronger than anything else gave us enough to try again. And so we did. Time after time again. Two years later it’s hard to understand how it is that we got here. Your shoulder brushes mine in a crowded room and we don’t even speak. It used to pain me to think of everything we shared that we’d never be able to get back. Nowadays, I’m growing to be a little more thankful for it. So this is to say thank you. Thank you for loving me while you could. Thank you for allowing me to forget it sometimes.
In the realm of possibility there is still a slim chance that we might end up together. After all, you loved me through the worst of times and I never let you fall asleep unwanted. And that must count for something if two years later I still say your name in my sleep and you never bothered to throw out my belongings. Why either one of us is still holding on to hope makes no sense and nobody really understands it except for us. There was a day where we promised each other that we’d end up together, we never promised to share our whole lives with each other so maybe it makes sense that right now you’re loving someone who isn’t me and I’m still the only one who ever waits
you gotta get to that point where a man who disrespects you becomes unattractive. that you become disgusted by a man who doesn’t treat you like you deserve to be treated. where it’s such a turn off to be with a man like that that no matter how you felt before, you know it’s time to get up and go. it’s a part of working on your self esteem, even when you’re not single
