To the man/men I let into my heart…

Thank you. Thank you for understanding I wasn’t ready for you.

Thank you for allowing me to see where I needed to work on myself to be a better version of myself… for myself.

Thank you for deciding I wasn’t enough just how I was in that moment in time when we crossed paths.

I didn’t want to quit because I believe in trying until there is nothing left to work out. That is what makes love special.

So thank you for quitting on me so I could let you go.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts of how you see me as a person. That showed me where your heart held me.

Thank you for ghosting me so I didn’t have to suffer through the agonizing pain of reading your one word/line texts or hear your voice that kept giving me hope. Actions do speak louder than words.

Thank you for blocking me on all your social media so I didn’t have to watch you move on and flirt with other women like you did.

Thank you for ignoring my endless paragraphs in text as I was pleading for a response or answers as to why I was not enough for you.

Thank you for moving on to someone else so I could be free of the endless torture of missing you and hoping we could work it out.

Thank you for not loving me like I loved you ❤️ for I would have settled for you… which had me believing you were worth so much more than you were.

Thank you for being the man you are in how you treated me… for I never would have understood how love should never feel.

You see, I created a false image of you.

I didn’t believe all the things you said and showed me.

I thought you were afraid to love again… when in fact… you just never loved at all.

I had so much to learn about myself and love ❤️ You were a vital part of that journey.

I now know what I never ever wanted in a relationship.

So thank you.

Thank you for not loving me the way I love.

You were right… I wouldn’t have ever been happy.

I really wasn’t happy at all. With us.

I was misunderstanding what love is.

I was learning… through you… what love is not.

That was the gift you offered me.

Knowledge and insight from the memories that I once thought was love. ❤️

Thank you

Thank you for being you.

So I could understand my worth ❤️

You were the one in a million that I needed to cross paths with.

To break the toxic cycle of which I thought was love.

A love that really had nothing to do with loving you… but a love I needed to find, within myself, for myself. ❤️

Thank you… for all you did to teach me what love is not.

❤️ I will forever cherish how you treated me.

The memories of what I held between us are replaced with memories of the lessons I have learned about myself. Because of you.

Ones I now honor my worth with.

Thank you 🙌

You see… if I had not been the person I was when I met you… I never would have chose you.

I would have known better. 😊
