May I never be that desperate again. May I never beg for love, attention, or effort from people who don't truly care about me again. May I never lose myself trying to keep someone who keeps hurting me or making me feel unwanted. I don't want to ignore the signs anymore just because I'm afraid to be alone. I don't want to accept less than I deserve just to feel loved for a little while. I've learned how painful it is to stay where 1 am not valued the same way I value others. From now on, I want peace more than mixed signals and temporary comfort. I deserve relationships where I feel wanted and respected.
