Choose Yourself

Let go of what hurts

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Do not suffer to be with a person who treats you as less.

Stop caring about someone who don't give a shit about how you feel.

So don't weep for someone who doesn't turn behind when you weep.

Sacrificing yourself for someone who doesn't appreciate you.

But do not let someone's words shake your confidence.

Don't spend the time proving something that you already know the answer to.

This is not everything to win.

Don't injure yourself for his comfort.

Do not lose your happiness on the facade of love.

Do not keep someone who does not want to have you in his/her life.

Do not give time to hurt you again and again.

If one prefers to use only emotions, do not ask reason from him.

Waiting for someone to apologize when they never actually do is unmovable.

Do not bother to explain to someone who does not want to listen.

If it's not, consider cutting him out of your life.

But if you love yourself enough, it isn't hard.

You need to choose whether you can tolerate the bad feelings.

Or relearn to ''choose'' a one.

Until you become the person with nothing to lose so DON'T BE SCARED OF LOSING 🌺💐
