“You think because he doesn’t love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn’t want you anymore that he is right — that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don’t. It’s a bad word, ‘belong.’ Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn’t be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can’t even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, because the clouds let him; they don’t wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can’t own a human being. You can’t lose what you don’t own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don’t, do you? And neither does he. You’re turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can’t value you more than you value yourself.”
“You put everything into your first love, because you really believe it’s going to last forever. That is its triumph and its tragedy, the reason you will never forget it, and the reason it is so difficult to let go.”
“Every test in our life makes us bitter or better. Every problem comes to make us or break us. Choice is ours, whether we become victim or victorious.”
This past weekend I attended my cousins wedding. The sermon really opened my eyes and Im glad I heard it. The most important thing I learned that day were 3 things that I will always remember and go by, no matter who I’m with. One, Put the other before yourself. Once you make a commitment whether you’re becoming a wife or a husband.. Or a boyfriend or a girlfriend.. Think of the other before yourself. Always put yourself in their position, think about how they would feel, think before you act, and think before you speak.
Two, words hurt. Words hurt just as much as actions do, if not worse. Words can scar, words can leave marks that are unable to be erased. Once words are said, you can’t take it back. Think before you say.. Being angry is no excuse, being sad is no excuse. Consider the fact that words will break a person.. Just as much as actions could whether you meant it or not. Be considerate, period.
Three, place god in the center. Pray together, go to church together, discuss your faith together. With god being the center and putting your trust in him.. He will guide you and your partner towards the right direction. Forgive, move forward, stay faithful, continue to love 100% and pray. It will all fall in place for everyone. Trust.
Sometimes it’s easier said than done to make your past.. Just the past.
In order to understand someone with trust issues, to understand pain from betrayal, to understand the pain that comes with the broken promises.. You have to have gone through it. There’s nothing more I fear than being betrayed by the one I give my all to, plus more.
Don’t tell me how to be and feel if you have absolutely no idea.
