Special Things

Just because someone doesn’t take care of special things,
or appreciate them as much as they should,
it doesn’t mean that those things are not really special.
All it means is that someone shouldn’t have
the privilege of having them anymore.

Self Worth

Recognize your own worth and you won't be drawn to those who don't see it.  -Doe Zantamata Always be aware of your feelings. They are the voice of your intuition…your inner truth.  A lot of times in relationships, people are very happy and excited to be in something new, and are very complimentary and notice all the good little things. Then after awhile, especially in those who are insecure, they lose that initial "niceness" and instead begin to get comfortable.  Eventually, some start to seem to notice only the little things they don't like or that bother them, and have forgotten all about the good little things.  This can happen subtly over time, so it's good to keep track of your inner feelings at all times.

Grieving can't be rushed. You're not weak for feeling pain, you're sensitive. Only sensitive people can be compassionate, and really help others, but they also feel pain a lot more strongly.

It's not that I don't care anymore, it's just that I'm choosing to focus instead on other things. Things that don't bother me. Things that allow me to be happy. ~Doe Zantamata Even after you've sorted through all your feelings. Even after you realize that the relationship wasn't right for you, even after you realize it's best that it ended....you'll likely still not be "over it" for awhile. You didn't go from being 100% happy and content in the relationship to unhappy, and you won't be able to go from 100% unhappy and discontent being single to being happy. Emotions don't work that way. You'll still get little triggers of memories out of the blue that when you think about them this time, you'll reflect and think differently. You may even feel some anger today about a memory from the past where no anger was felt at the time. Be patient with yourself. Allow your mind and your heart to go through this proces
