I know you’re disappointed. Again. Maybe this one was using you to cheat on a girlfriend, maybe he only wanted one thing. None the less, it’s one more washed up a failed attempt at finding the right guy.
I know that feeling when you see cute posts from couples or hear song lyrics you wish you related to more. I know you’ve been through the emotional ringer, and you finally feel ready for the real deal.
No more games, no more fumbling when things go wrong. You’re confident, smart, beautiful, and you’re ready for someone else who sees those things in you.
I know you’re looking for it. Every time you get into a cute conversation or you have a new date you wonder if this one is the right one.
You’ll overlook red flags and mistakes because you want so badly to hold on to what’s right in front of you. After all, if everyone else can make it work, why can’t you?
Yet, somewhere deep down you know you deserve better. You know you’ll find the love you’re looking for. You just don’t want to wait.
Please, please, stop looking.
Stop sending the text first, stop being so available. Focus on your life and yourself.
Don’t keep putting other people before yourself, don’t give people the ability to keep using you. Be patient. Let love find you, and in the meantime fall in love with yourself.
Turn yourself into the woman of your dreams, because she’s who will attract the man of your dreams.
I know it’s not easy; it’s tempting to fall back into old habits.
Do not give in.
Do not settle.
Do not overlook mistakes and red flags.
Do not short yourself into letting someone make you feel guilty or make you feel as though you need to stay or you won’t find better. Don’t lower your standards. The right guy will raise himself to meet them.
The best love isn’t looking for. It’s unexpected and natural. He’ll be there one day, I promise. Just be patient, and take your time.
Enjoy the views life gives you and live to the fullest. You deserve the world, and you should accept nothing less.
