I Have Something I Need to Say

I've told others this, and now I need to remind myself of this as well.

Your heart is a precious thing, not to be wasted on someone who treats it like a plaything, but only to be shared with someone who will treasure it always and give you all of theirs in return.

Please, stop worrying about whether or not you're good enough for someone who has managed to steal your heart, and start worrying about whether or not that person is good enough for you. Stop wondering what it is that you have to do to make yourself worthy of their love, their attention, and their respect. You ARE good enough. You ARE worthy.

It's so easy for me to tell other people this. Now I need to be able to hear this and believe it myself.

Thank you. I’ve been away and should not even be on here typing things. I’ve written entries here so long, that without realizing it, I was aggravating an existing condition I had in my arm, wrist, and fingers, long ago. I was enjoying writing so much, that I didn’t realize I was overdoing it that much. I have Dupuytrens Contracture. A very painful disease. I’ll still be here, but must limit myself greatly, when it comes to time and entries. All those entries, over 1500, and you are the only one that said come back. Not one said they missed me.

@LadyGrace You're welcome. Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I understand that you aren't able to spend as much time on here. I don't know if there's a chance of it getting better, but I would like to see that happen.

LadyGrace · 70-79

@TeresaRudolph71 Thank you. They say there's no cure, but I'm still trusting God.

masterofyou · 70-79, M

Do you question yourself well I'm sure others do this too... Your heart is a precious part of you it gives you life and it gives you emotions so guard it from those who toy with it....There is nothing worse that a heart break...

TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F

@masterofyou Yes, sometimes I do find myself second-guessing myself. Just yesterday I found myself asking why someone had chosen to treat me like a plaything and then tossed me aside, especially when he treats others with so much more care and respect. It's sometimes hard not to ask what's wrong with me, why he perceives me the way he does.

But then I have to remember that he doesn't really know that much about me, and the way people treat us actually says a lot more about them than it says about us.

And yes, I must guard my heart carefully.

masterofyou · 70-79, M

@TeresaRudolph71 If he treated you like that I'm sure in his one time he will treat the others like he treated you.... Only love the one that truly love you...

I'm the choir, and you're preaching right to me sister. I wish I could hold a mirror up to you, so you could see what I see, cause if you saw what I see, you'd see someone who really has her shit together. 😉

Sometimes it's like that. The advice we give others, we too, need to take it to heart.

TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F

@zeeva70 Yes, and all too often I find that the hardest advice to take is my own.
