Someday, you'll thank yourself for choosing to love yourself instead of settling for less than what you deserve. You will figure out one day that the pain that you feel right now is just a part of healing. You will never be in pain forever. You will realize that you made the right decision to walk away from people and places where you feel like you are unappreciated and unvalued. You are brave enough to choose yourself this time. You are brave enough to let go of all the things that hurt you, even though you love them more than anything else. My dearest self, you are strong enough to survive all the suffering that you've been through, and I know that you'll be proud of it someday.
