I Didn’t Choose To Fall In Love With You, But Now I Choose To Leave You

When we first met, I fell in love instantly. That’s something I couldn’t possibly control.

The heart did its thing and I was helpless.

While being in love, I felt so high and I couldn’t even imagine the inevitable fall would be so brutal. But it was.

The ones who love madly apparently hurt themselves badly. I can’t believe I didn’t see it coming.

I took so many slaps from the universe to make me finally see: He doesn’t love me, he’s using me.

He hardly ever finds time for me, everything else is more important.

He treats me like my opinions don’t matter, like I’m a child, and every time I confront him, he tells me I’m overreacting.

He plays games with my head and makes me feel crazy while always making an excuse for himself.

Every time I try to express my feelings, he’s there to tell me I’m making things up. That’s why I choose to leave you.

I choose to leave you because I feel uncomfortable being myself around you. I choose to leave you because now I know my self-worth.

I choose to leave you because I know there are better things waiting for me.

I’m leaving you because I don’t want to become what you think of me. I want to be myself.

I want to live free of your judgment. I deserve to be loved as I am, not as you want me to be. I’m enough on my own.

From now on, I’m taking care of myself. I’m embracing everything I once didn’t like about myself.

I accept my body and, most importantly, I accept my whole personality – my good sides as well as my flaws.

All of those things make me who I am. I don’t care what you think of me anymore; I escaped your love spell.

It may hurt in the process, but I will get over you completely. Time will be my healer and I will be my own teacher.

I’ll teach myself to set boundaries higher, to do things I always said I couldn’t.

I will silence the voices that tell me I’m not good enough. I will remove you from my heart and brain.

I’m strong enough to let go of everything that’s blocking my growth. If you don’t love me for who I am, I don’t need you in my life.

There’s no point in clinging onto someone who makes you feel miserable.

I deserve better than weak love and lack of trust, constant fights and not feeling safe. I deserve better than a man-child.

My worth won’t be defined on any terms other than my own. From now on, I’m aware of my value and I’m not dropping it for anyone.

One man is enough to teach you to be careful with your heart. One man is enough to make you cautious forever.

You were a steep learning curve for me, but now I’m done with you and any man alike forever.

I’m finally ready to leave you and everything about this relationship behind.

I’m ready to learn from the mistakes I made and let things go.

From now on, learning from my mistakes is the only rule I have for myself, everything else is free to experience.

You showed me that I’m denying myself happiness by listening to other people and following their rules.

Now that’s finally over.

I’m not afraid to be myself completely. I’m not ashamed of my flaws and that makes me strong.

Instead, I’m learning to appreciate my flaws and thank them for making me different from everyone else.

I’m not here to be loved for something I’m not; that’s not how I want to live my life.

In a way, you were the worst and best thing that happened to me because now I know what I don’t want in life.

Now I know I don’t need anyone to make me feel complete.

Only I can make myself complete and that’s exactly what I’m doing by leaving you.
