To My Ex, Thank You

It's been a few months since I broke up with you and I've very well moved on, but there's something I want to tell you.

Thank you.

During our relationship, I felt pressured to do things, I did them for you. I wanted you to be happy. I was afraid that if I didn't do them, you would leave me. 

I was scared. 

Yeah I was happy with you, but looking back, I guess I was not as happy as I thought I was. I put your happiness over mine. 

Towards the end of our relationship, I realized something. 

I deserve better.

I deserve to be with someone who doesn't pressure me to do anything that I don't want to do. My happiness needs to be a priority.

It took me being with you to realize that.

So thank you.
