Believe Them the FIRST TIme

Many times we fall for people knowing they aren't good for us. All the signs indicate it; yet we still settle with the feelings of discomfort and uncertainty. Hoping that one day, sooner rather than later, that those feelings will change. We ignore and makes excuses only to refrain from the fear of never experiencing love again. Don't think that way. You will.

Truth is, the only thing stopping you from experiencing real love is staying with someone whom you know isn't good for you.

Of course, it's hard. No one said it'd be easy constantly starting over with a new person. Learning a different person over and over again. It's exhausting.. But that's where knowing your self worth comes into action. The better you know yourself, the easier it is to rule out what is worth your time and what isn't.

It's okay to give second chances but know the difference between someone deserving a second chance and someone learning how to take advantage of you. When we misinterpret the two, we become heartbroken at our own faults; staying longer than we should, rather than leaving when we know it's time. And by that time, that person has already started figure skating; knowing exactly what to say, and what to do to get you back in their arms. No genuine approach at all.

That feeling deep down in your heart that something is off.. those constant red signs.. they are appearing to get your attention. To let you know that the person you're with will hinder your growth the longer you stay.

At some point, you have to ask yourself, when will enough be enough?

After while, no matter how good someone is at pretending, their true colors will eventually show. Believe them. Notice them and act accordingly. Save yourself the disappoint, heartbreak, and anger.

You deserve to feel loved. You deserve to be appreciated. You deserve to be happy. And if the person you're with isn't making you feel those feelings, then maybe this is your sign. You have that right to put your happiness first and walk away.

Doesn't mean you didn't love them. Just means they didn't love you enough to keep you.
