Getting through the tough moments and knowing you can be strong are what make the good moments worth it. If you continually find yourself disrespected, you need to leave the situation. It can be tough to leave especially if you have an emotional attachment, but the best thing you can do is leave for yourself. You do not owe anyone an explanation because you are choosing the self-care path the path that is best for yourself. Being alone or away from these attachments is not a negative thing. Society will jam it down your throat that to be alone is to be bad, but that is not true. When I was younger, I wanted to believe in all of this because I thought it is what people would like. Blending in will not lead to success. Being yourself will lead to success. I had to go through the tough lessons I did to get to the good point I am at today. Some people do not want to do the work and will continue to drown in the world. I refuse to be one of those people and will always stand up for the person that feels they do not have a voice. Why is it when we stand up for ourselves, we can get everything we want? We need to bring ourselves out bit by bit because that is scary. Noone feels good when the light shines on them because then they must show who they are. If we feel we are not deserving, doing this will feel like the worst thing in the world. Remember whether you are with people or alone living your life is a good thing. Anything is possible in this life. Everyday someone is doing something that we have never seen before. Some people it can take 5 seconds of work to be successful and others may work 40 years and never feel successful. That is something to realize and understand about life. Just because it may take longer for you to be successful does not mean you are worth any less. You are worth the weight YOU GIVE YOURSELF. If you think you are great, then you are great. If you think you are unworthy, then you will be unworthy. Everyone is alike in that way and can sense these things about us from what we are presenting to the world. I have never been one for understanding body language. I have been critical to myself about if women that I was talking to were into me or just being friendly. Considering that most communication is doing non-verbally this thought scared me. I realized though that when it matters and is worth it for me, I will do the right things, and the right things will happen for me. It is not that they can happen for me, but I understand that things happen when they are supposed too. One of the worst things you can think is that you are not worthy of something. I have gone through this, and your thoughts are powerful, so try to make them good ones.
