over a year ago, I was in a relationship with someone I thought I was going to spend my life with. little did I know while I was in California and he was Indiana, that he was cheating on me. and little did I know that I was allowing him to, and allowing him to make me feel little and useless. I was told on a daily basis that I was abusive and horrible for wanting to talk to him in the phone for even 5 minutes. he broke up with me via text, telling me it's my fault. I lost myself. I wanted out. I didn't want to live anymore. hell, I wasn't living. I spent 4 years or my life with this man, giving him everything, bowing down to his every need. shaking and walking on eggshells for him. my mom had to constantly check on me put of fear of what I might have done. And then I realized. I am better than him. I am better than everything he ever told me about myself. I am not his words. I will find someone who loves me for me. and I will love myself. and that's exactly what I have done. I met a great guy, we have been together for a year. he encouraged me to go to school, so I moved to canada and I'm loving it. I know my worth. I know when someone is wasting my time. and now I have a daily reminder that I am enough. thank you for listening to my story!
