Say it again!!! August 14, 2012

I ran across this quote on twitter: “Sometimes you just gotta accept that some people can only be in your heart, not in your life.” – Evelyn Lozada

This quote pretty much sums up the last 2 years of my life!  I have fought, chased, begged, cried, and said ‘goodbye’ to some people who at some point meant something to me in my life.  Although with good intentions, I wanted to keep them in my life for fear of losing them forever.  Fortunately, I have realized that keeping people who have no purpose or place in my life only hurt my feelings as well as my relationship with them.  I expected too much from them, when all the time, they weren’t capable of filling the holes of my heart.

Have you ever wanted something so bad but knew it would never be any good for you?  Well, I am here to tell you: LET GO!!! Keeping someone or even something in your life that isn’t purposeful only hurts you even more.  Let go and embrace new things, new people!  You don’t have to stop loving them, or even erase them from your memory.  What you do have to do is MOVE ON…

Don’t sell yourself short.  Don’t diminish your worth.  Know that who you are, deserves whatever it is that you want.  Live life happy and free, and the right people and things will come along.  Don’t be afraid to live!

The OLD ME.. August 12, 2012

The old me would emotionally respond to you.

The old me would bring up all of the things you did to hurt me.

The old me would laugh in your face because you can see that you need me.

The old me would show the world your flaws and point out your mistakes.

The old me would put your needs above my own and ignore my worth.

The old me would sacrifice my time and energy just to make sure you were alright.

The old me would live and breathe every moment considering you.

The old me would die for you.

I did die for you.

It was LOVE that resurrected me.

The NEW me knows I am valuable and priceless.

The NEW me knows I cannot love another without loving myself first.

The NEW me knows a real friend is one who reciprocates love.

The NEW me knows each day should be cherished regardless of who’s in it.

The NEW me knows to give without expecting anything in return.

The NEW me is at peace with who I am and doesn’t need anything from you.

The NEW me knows that despite the past, I’m still here for you.

The NEW me LOVES you unconditionally.

Thank GOD for the NEW ME..
