my story, your story

so here's the thing. you think you'll never stop crying. you think you'll never feel good enough. you think that everything's a part of this horrible pattern that makes up your life. you think nothing will ever change. 

and then one day, you change. you wake up one morning and that pervasive sadness is just kind of gone. you think about him and you can't for the life of you remember what it was like to be in love with him or what you even liked about him. you walk through life and one day, you think, you know? i am good enough. and you're kind of surprised it took you this long, and you realize that no matter how easy it is to hate yourself...it is so much better to love yourself. 

and you know the best part, darling? you don't need him. you wake up one day alone in your bed and you realize this is what you needed all along, JUST YOU

so here's to you. here's to realizing your good enough, and that no one else needs to realize and tell you for you to know.
