Dear Unforgettable,

I will never forget the day you decided to break my heart over text message. I still remember the words, “I found someone else.” I never knew this day would come so soon and so hard. You where the person I thought I wanted to spend my life with and have a future. We discussed marriage, family, and even living together. Did you even mean it? Did you even want me? Was I not good enough? All questions that ran through my mind that moment I read that text message.

I was so upset, angry and just wanted answers to why we could not be together. I felt like my heart was just broke into a million pieces and I all I wanted to do was scream. It took me so much time to realize the truth that you were not worth my time. I spent weeks in my dorm alone in bed feeling sorry for myself. Till one day I realized you taught me something that no one has taught me before. I learned to never let anyone hurt me the way you did and to always love myself.

The next step was to forget you and focus on me. I forgot the memories and started hanging with friends to help keep my mind off you. I started to focus on school and working hard for my grades. When that hard work paid off and I got good grades in all my nursing classes you were to thank. I thank you for breaking my heart only to show me that loving myself is so much more important.

Loving yourself is a must need before letting someone else love you. You don’t have to be happy about yourself or what you do just be able to love the true you. You just need to take time for yourself and realizes you are just fine. You are a young teenager who has a whole life ahead of you. Loving yourself can be taking the time to study, a bubble bath or even just a few drinks with the girls. Taking time out of your day to think about yourself and how you are doing great just the way you are.

DO NOT let anyone tear you down because they,” Found someone new.” That somebody new is nothing compared to you. They need someone to love them because they can’t love themselves like you can. So go thank all the douche-bag boys that told you, “You are not good enough for me” and say too bad I’m good enough for myself.

After you do this go find a special place and just scream to the word, “I AM GOOD ENOUGH,” because you decided to love yourself. Loving yourself will be the most rewarding feeling ever in the end. Down the road in your future, you will meet the perfect man. This perfect man will be able to love you more than the other man because that douche-bag boyfriend from college taught you how important it was to love yourself. Never forget the ones that broke our heart and thank the ones that taught us the true meaning of love.

Sincerely,

The Girl that learned to Love herself.
