I couldn’t tell you when it happened, but one day, I woke up and realized I didn’t need saving.
All the things I had been holding out for -romantic notions of being swept off my feet and saved by a knight riding off into the sunset?
Forget all that.
I haven’t found any heroes worth holding out for and I’m sure not waiting for someone to come along and fix my problems.
No, I’m taking charge of my life and doing what it takes to change direction, evolve and keep growing.
No one is going to do that for me.
I don’t need to be saved, fixed or completed.
I’ll settle for respected, appreciated and loved equally.
I’ve never tried on a Cinderella shoe that fit and all the would be princes I’ve kissed always turned out to be frogs.
I need a partner, not a project.
So, until someone shows up that has what it takes and is patient enough to earn my trust and love, I’m going to do what I should have been doing all along:
Loving myself and my life, each and every day.
I can’t expect to give my best to anyone else if I can’t even do it for myself.
It’ll be a hard and sometimes painful journey to find myself again after being lost all this time in all those love stories gone wrong, but it’s worth it.
I’m worth it..actually, I’m worth it all.
I’m not settling, making do or being okay with anything less than I deserve.
I’m sure some will come along thst think I’m high maintenance, sassy and stubborn,
But they’re just mispronouncing “having standards.”
I’m not asking for permission nor seeking forgiveness for doing the things that make me happy and help me grow..
So, anyone not onboard with me working to be the best version of myself doesn’t have to stick around.
I’ve wasted too long on people for the wrong reasons in search of the right thing- love.
Turns out I needed to love myself most of all,
So don’t hate me for taking charge of my destiny.
I’ve got one shot at this life and I intend on making the most of it, every day.
Living in the moments, appreciating how hard I’ve worked and learning to love myself..
I don’t need a hero or a knight in shining armor for any of that.
I’m doing all that myself and I’m proud of who I’m becoming.
I’m closing the book on the past and this time,
I’m the heroine of my story.
Most importantly, I’m finally writing my chapters how I should have always done..
my way.
