i feel stupid. i gave the same person so many chances, hoping they would finally change and treat me the way i deserved. i ignored the pain, overlooked the red flags, and kept telling myself that maybe this time would be different. but no matter how much love, patience, and underständing i gave, i still ended up *feeling like i was never enough. maybe the saddest part is knowing i settled for less than i deserved because i was afraid of losing someone who was never afraid of losing me.
