Is it worth it?
A friend had tagged me for this link and I felt a need to share it.
The closing words struck home.
"Getting hurt is one of the most intimate experiences you can have with someone else. It happens to even the strongest among us because we all have feelings and memories of which we are reluctant to let go.
But, I realize that while you may not be able to control how you feel, you do have control over how you allow yourself to be treated."
"There’s only so much you can tolerate, and part of the solution is figuring out your limits and what you ultimately want for yourself. ... in the end, your happiness is in your hands.
Some people, no matter how much we are drawn to them, are not worth that sacrifice."
