About a year ago, I was a completely different person. I didn’t know it at the time but I didn’t know how to love myself. I never knew my worth. I was so used to not being good enough and yelling at every little mistake I made (according to you), that I thought it was normal. I didn’t know what it meant to be loved or appreciated, and it was all because of you.
You made me feel like I should be grateful for the pathetic parts of the so-called “love” I was receiving from you.
Today, I am a new person.
I was finally brave enough to stand up for myself and not be ashamed of wanting something better. It took a long time but now I know what I deserve and I’m smart enough to not let you treat me like I’m a commodity that only deserves love and attention at your convenience. Here are all the ways your filthy self has made me stronger and greater:
- I finally know my worth
During our relationship, I was always ashamed to express my opinion or, God forbid, disagree with you on something. This was not allowed. Well, now, after enduring many years of repressed emotions, I can happily say that I don’t care what you think I deserve. I am so much more than your sorry ass made me feel. I am more than you will ever know, and now that I know that, I will never allow myself to be mistreated by anyone in any way. So, thank you. - I learned that it’s okay to say no
I was always forced to agree with everything I decided and was never allowed to have an opinion. You always made it seem like you were doing it all for my own good and I couldn’t decide anything about us or even myself.
Those days are over.
When I freed myself from you, I realized how disempowered I was and how much I could and should control my life. After all, it’s my life, and who are you to tell me what I can and can’t do? Fortunately, I finished that, and today, I enjoy saying “no” a lot. Whenever and to whom.
- I don’t need to justify myself to anyone
If I wanted to go out with my girlfriends and dance the night away (without telling my partner every 30 minutes!) that’s exactly what I’d do! No one owns me or my body, and I will enjoy myself without feeling guilty about it! I deserve to have fun and I don’t need to justify it to anyone. Not anymore! - I deserve all the love in the world
Yes, you heard me. The possessive nature of your sick and twisted vision of love is long gone and forgotten, and thank God I finally realized how sick and unhealthy it was to be with you. I was so grateful when you showed me any concern that I forgot what it meant to love and be loved. The pure, true, selfless kind of love, with all its faults and everything. It makes me feel sick that I allowed myself to think that I didn’t deserve it. I’m grateful that I learned to open my eyes and close the door (once and for all) to your manipulative ways. - I choose who to spend my life with
Just because you manipulated your way into my heart and hid your true intentions until you won it over, doesn’t mean I owe you my happiness. The person I fell in love with is not the person I became. It’s disgusting how you tricked me into thinking I loved you and made me feel like you were my only option. You never were, and now that you finally know it, I’m with you. I deserv
