Stop Abandoning Yourself For People Who Don’t Show Up For You
Please know nothing will break your heart more than being loved because you are acting like someone you know you are not.
By Molly Burford
Stop abandoning yourself for people who don’t show up for you. The people who you never truly feel like you can be your full self around. The people who are nowhere to be found when you need them the most. The people who you never seem to be good enough for.
Stop bending over backward for people who are never there to help you stand back up when you fall. Stop making yourself smaller for people who hate to see you take up any space at all. Stop staying quiet to keep the peace with people who do nothing but disrupt yours. Stop over-explaining yourself to people who have already decided they do not care to understand you.
Stop suppressing your feelings to make people who repeatedly wound you more comfortable. Stop betraying your own boundaries for people who only disrespect them. Stop pretending you don’t have needs for people who would always say those needs were too much. Stop maintaining relationships with people when you know it’s destroying you to hold on.
