Your light was never meant to be dimmed.
Your flame was never meant to be extinguished.
Your wings were never meant to be clipped.
Your soul was never meant to be shattered into a million pieces.
Your worth was never meant to be turned into stone.
And your happiness was never meant to be turned into fear.
Sometimes healing starts with just finding the courage to move on.
Sometimes healing starts by letting go of what brings you pain.
Sometimes it’s about finding the courage to leave pieces of you behind that you never thought you’d ever leave behind.
Sometimes that means leaving behind someone who you thought was your forever, your soulmate, your twin flame, and the rest of your life.
And letting go of the fact that they valued you so little.
Letting go of the idea of who you thought they were.
And maybe you’ll question your decision a thousand times, because the truth is, you never wanted to let this person go in the first place.
But continuing to hold onto someone who only throws you breadcrumbs every once in a while is going to hurt more.
Continuing to disrespect yourself by allowing yourself to be continually disrespected is going to hurt more.
And you’re bigger than this pain.
You’re worth a lot more than the pain they’ve given you.
You deserve someone who will allow you to shine.
You deserve someone who will allow you to soar.
You deserve someone who’s love is healing.
And you deserve someone who’s favourite part of each day is seeing you smile.
Sometimes the hardest decision you don’t want to make is the one that you need to make.
Because sometimes it takes a broken heart for us to wake up and realise that we are worth so much more than what we were settling for…
