There are some people you'll meet in this life who will only love you temporarily.
There are souls who will intertwine with yours for a moment, then unravel and wander away.
There are friends who are not meant to stay forever.
There are people who will only take and never give.
None of these impermanent people, or their eventual departures determine your worth.
But it hurts, oh it hurts when they leave.
You give yourself away, only to end up empty.
You put your time and energy into a relationship that only falls short.
You love, only to be chastised for caring too much.
You ache, only to be told you're sensitive, emotional, or weak.
But there is nothing wrong with you.
I want you to know that.
I want you to know that your heart beats strongly.
And even if it has beat for the wrong person, even if it has led you astray, even if you feel bruised right now in the wake of a connection falling apart—hold onto the truth of your strength and sensitivity—those traits are one in the same.
You are not less because he left, because she cheated, because everything came undone.
You are not wrong for putting yourself fully into a person who couldn't even give you him or her full self in return.
Sometimes people can't love us with the same spirit, same wholeness, same tenacity.
Sometimes, at the end of the day, we are left with nothing. Sometimes we are so empty, so broken, so unfulfilled.
But these moments become lessons, not self-definitions.
These broken relationships are our teachers.
This heartache will heal.
These days will lead into tomorrows that you will step into with confidence and grace.
Hold on.
You will get there.
