You are amazing, and you deserve to be loved.

I know it hurts, but the pain feels different somehow - more like a familiar friend. The one that comes by to teach you something when you need it most, even when all you want to do is hold your hands up to your ears so you don't have to hear it. 

That sense of abandonment will always be a part of you, it's not going to go away. but that's ok. let it be an indication of what you need in a relationship. And the right person will always do their best to give you what you need, not all the time, and not perfectly, but often and as much as they can. 

You are kind, and sweet, and smart and beautiful. You light up any room you walk into, and you love with your whole damn heart. More than anything you deserve to be with someone who sees and appreciates all of who you are, and who wants to make you happy. 

So breathe - you are ok, you are ok, you are ok. everything will be alright. 

Occasional Magic

"Occasional magic refers to those moments of beauty, wonder, and clarity, often stumbled upon, where we suddenly see a piece of truth about our life."

I am strong. Strong enough to do this. Strong enough to believe in myself. Strong enough to fight for what I want. Strong enough to do what it takes, strong enough to have the patience, strong enough to assert myself, my wants, my needs. 

Let it be. If it comes back to you, you'll know it was meant to be.
