It should never take them losing you in order to value you.

It should never take you having to walk away or threaten to walk away

and have to go through indescribable amounts of pain

in order for someone to miss you and to know what they've lost.

It should never take substantial amounts of energy and effort to prove your worth to another

human being.

You deserve someone who sees your worth right away and you don't

have to play any games. You don't have to pretend you're someone you're not. You don't

have to sugarcoat anything. You don't have to hide pieces of yourself, or manipulate situations in order for them to commit to you or want to be with you.

They should just want to be with you and accept you as you are.

If anyone shows you that they don't value you or respect you,

if someone continuously does things that makes you feel unworthy or small or like you're not

good enough for them, it is time to walk away,

especially if you've addressed how you feel to this person

and then they continue to repeat the same actions and do the same things over and over again.

That's when you know you need to gain some self-respect,

and it's time to walk away with no regrets. You have to trust that walking away from this person is a

decision you're making for not only you but also for your higher future self that

will thank you and also for your inner child.

Remember that you would have loved this person through anything,

but they couldn't do the same for you.

You would have stayed with them through anything, but they couldn't do the same for you.
