This is a “Thank You” to all my Exes and Toxic Relationships

I was the girl who always thought she was in love. I fell “in love” very easily when I was younger. Had a lot of crushes, boyfriends, almost girlfriends, and heartbreak.

This is a “thank you” to everyone who loved me, and everyone who hurt me. Without the pain I went through, I wouldn’t be as strong and emotionally developed as I am now.

When you hurt me and stepped on me, I grew stronger and learned how to heal my wounds. I learned how to create boundaries when I need them. You helped me to learn how to protect myself.

I would like to dedicate the song “Blue Lips” by Regina Spektor to my exes, past toxic relationships, and to this moment.

Thank you for being human.
