Forgive yourself for all the times you wanted someone more than the other person. Forgive yourself for the times you settled for treatment you didn’t deserve, just because you didn’t want to lose that person or because you thought you were above it.
Forgive yourself for the times when you chased someone despite warnings from your friends or family. Forgive yourself for the times you broke your own heart because you loved someone who wasn’t right for you. Forgive yourself for believing there was more to this person and for putting them on a pedestal they absolutely did not deserve.
Forgive yourself for the times you thought you could help or change someone through your love and by giving more than you received.
Because you’re right, because sometimes someone changes. But a broken heart also changes someone. The only way for you to learn about love is to truly experience it, even if your heart is broken. So instead of blaming yourself, give yourself a round of applause!
Don’t be sad, be proud! Be proud of yourself for seizing the opportunity, for doing something you found scary, for opening up and for believing in love. Be proud that you followed your heart, even if it didn’t lead you in the right direction.
Be proud that you dare to go for something when it comes to love. Because love is for the people who are courageous, whose hearts are broken but who still dare to continue. For the people who know that love can be scary, but it is always worth it.
Maybe love sometimes made you forget how much you were worth, but it also helped you now to walk away when people don’t go for you. It helps you make the right choices now and feel loved.
So forgive yourself for the times you have forgotten how much you are worth. Every broken heart is a lesson. A lesson not to settle for less and a lesson that you deserve so much more than this!
