Self-Love

As time passes me by I realize that I have become to despise the girl I once was. One who relied on every guy that past me by for love that I was not receiving from one man who was not home, long gone. One who barely settled in before he decided to roam. I've learned that one cannot force the love of outside sources and should instead resort to sorting out ways to love one's self. The greatest achievement is self-worth and self-love is golden, a feeling that cannot be stolen or replaced by a superficial love molded from somewhere else. There's no better feeling than to love yourself. The best love comes from inside, love that cannot hide behind any mixed emotions and confused devotions of those that don't really love you. You cannot expect someone project love towards you that you do not reflect inside because you neglect to respect and yourself. Self-love has set me free from the girl I used to be, a girl searching the entire world for the love that continued to flee from a man that was supposed to love me unconditionally, a man that I now refuse to call daddy.

The Reasons Why

Here's A New Post For Those Who Wish To Read
The Reasons Why

It seems like yesterday our relationship was young and new.
I can't believe seven months have past,
there's no one else I'd rather be with than you.
I have never been known to make a relationship work,
and somehow we keep pushing through.
I know people question and doubt the bond that we share,
but when I look back at my past relationships,
nothing else even remotely compares.
I know at times it gets really hard,all I can ask is that we continue to try.
Our relationship has been a success, and here are a few reasons why.

Reason One:
To my surprise a relationship arises out of an amazing friendship. People always say the best relationships arise when the two involved are best friends. A smile glued to my face proving that I'm glad I decided to give us a chance.
Reason Two:
Our relationship had its first test. You went away for a while and I was a mess. It was difficult to be a part but somehow we got through. We proved that we were capable of maintaining our relationship even when a part, a big sign of how we'd handle what was to come.
Reason Three:
We breezed through my usual two month relationship curse, letting me know that we were serious about making this work. I can't even remember the last time I was able to deal with one person for longer than 2 months. You let me know that it was possible.
Reason Four:
We hit a rough patch and I wasn't sure if we were gonna make it through. But we came together and worked through our problems, showing that we were not going to give up without a major fight. We proved that we what we really wanted was each other.
Reason Five:
I realize that there is no one else I'd rather be with. Each day I become more and more in love with you and you become more in love with me and there's no other way I'd rather have it. And I know that we will go through plenty more hard times but I know that we are strong enough to make it. Love you <3
