Knowing what you want, what you need and what you deserve are three different things. Making a choice in love that isn’t the best idea is just something you have to do. A bad boy is sometimes what you want and might be just what you need. Just make sure your heart, mind and soul know what you deserve.
Blaming myself for learning a lesson in love or life won’t make swallowing a bitter pill any easier. In various situations, not coming out on top doesn’t mean you’ve lost. Don’t blame yourself as you’re still growing!
The ever-wise Prince once said, “A person trying to play me plays themselves,” and he was right. We all get caught up due to lapsed judgement but staying knocked down will never make the situation any better and besides a pity party is never really a party at all.
Learning to trust myself in making wiser decisions will get better over time and that moment of feeling free is truly cathartic. It’s the last step of getting over the burden of feeling broken only to realize you weren’t really broken at all.
