Even when your hope is gone, move along.

Words spoken, mind whirls, nothing left, just a girl. Pretty on the outside, also on the in, who'd have guessed, she'd never win? Laughing it off, hiding pain, her heart in battle, this again? Walls are up, smile on face, don't forget, she can't be replaced.

Dear Friends,

I just want to start out by saying that nothing hurts worse than finding out that the only reason someone dated you was to make someone else jealous.

Who does that?

People who are not worth your time, or chances.

Am I hurt? Sure, however, I’ve come to realize that when I find out someone likes me, a little bit of me will like them back, even if I didn’t like them in the first place. This is one of those cases. Therefore, never play a game with a girl who’s played it. 

I could be dramatic, go into depression, lose confidence in myself, let him get to me, but no. That’s more than likely what he’s hoping for. You know what? I’m stronger than that. We are ALL stronger than that. 

Besides,

It’s his loss.

Any who, this post is to inspire those who have been used. You’re worth so much more than the jerk who tried to use you. Don’t let them get to you. You are beautiful, smart, and deserve so much more. Sure, we’re all a bit naive, but we’re also very intelligent. We go through so much more than a man will go through in his entire life. And I’m not just talking about teenage years. Think about it, after high school, we go to college to pursue our education. While there, not only are we focused on school, we’re also juggling working at a job, and dating boys. We multi-task. We can have different conversations with people, and still know what’s going on in each conversation. We can put smiles on our faces and act like nothing is wrong during the day, and when we’re finally alone at night, we cry. We pick up the pieces to our own heartbreaks. We eventually find someone who’s worth it. Then we go through the process of getting married, and having children. We actually have to give birth to said children, and sometimes, we almost lose our lives in the process of bringing another life into the world. We then nurture and teach those children, and raise them to be incredible people. We do all that, while still maintaining our jobs, and taking care of not only our kids, but our family, and our relationship with our husband/significant other. 

We’re incredible, and the guys who don’t see that? There’s a reason why they’re not in the picture anymore. Don’t cry over the boy who broke your heart. He only broke it because he knew he wasn’t going to be the one to complete it.

I know everything I say can only help so much. Only you can forgive yourself and move on. We all make mistakes, however, when someone doesn’t treat you right, they don’t deserve third or fourth chances. Give yourself more credit, because you deserve it.

Don’t shed your tears for someone who hurt you, don’t long for that person if they left, and don’t feel sorry if you failed when you tried your best.

“And even when your hope is gone, move along, move along, just to make it through”

Thank you All American Rejects, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
