Have you ever been hurt by a person so many times that you eventually got used to it? You kept giving that person a chance and they continued to hurt you, lie to you, manipulate you, and make you feel like you don't deserve better. You don't really see how much that person hurt you and others around you until you step away. Maybe you try to step away and it almost seems impossible because that person threatens and manipulates you and the people around you to prevent you from leaving. They don't want you to leave because they care about you, they do it so they can continue to use you. It takes a lot to move on and that person is never really completely out of your life, but moving on to people who treat you right is worth all of the hurt.

Life goes on. People in life come and go, they may make a positive or negative impact but what matters is that you move on, live, and learn. Moving on is always hard at first. Even though you were hurt by someone multiple times, they may or may not have played a big role in your life and leaving them is not easy but it's for the best. Don't think of ways to get back or to get even. Become successful, become happy, and learn from the hurt. Karma always comes back to the people who deserve it and sooner or later they will realize who and what they lost. Find people who pick up your broken pieces, put them back together, and show you how you deserve to be treated. Whether the person who hurt you is a boyfriend/girlfriend, friend, parent, coach, or director moving on is the first and most important step to not letting that person continue to hurt and control you.

Thank you to the person who hurt me so many times I got used to the pain. If it weren't for you, I never would have realized how terrible of a person you are. I never would have left and found the people in my life today who show me how I should have been treated all along. Thank You for showing others who you really are so I didn't have too. Most importantly, thank you for treating me in a way I will never let anyone else treat me again.
