From now on I don't want to be around people who don't contribute to my growth. Who can't love with me, who can't laugh with me, be real with me. That I'm having a hard time accepting that people don't have the same heart as me. That people don't love as hard as me. That you can learn how to love yourself and another person all at the same time and yet people reciprocate their appreciation in bogus ways.

That I didn't realize that how people love and/or treat you has so much to do with the person that you are. That it's a reflection of everything you give to them. That you teach people how to love you, that you show them how to fill you up. That you show them the parts of yourself that you want them to recognize & yet you credit them for recognizing those attributes. I had warmth before you.

I was beautiful, smart, talented, witty, strong, and passionate before you. I will remain those things even after you. I'm learning that sometimes the person you can be the most cruel to is yourself.

Don't ever credit your worth to another person.
