You gave me my wings to fly...
I'm feeling very relieved, like a long journey is coming to an end. My once broken heart is now feeling just about completely healed. I've heard the phrase, when you lose someone you love; it feels like you'll never recover.... I mean how could you?? How does your heart mend itself after it felt like it was ripped into shreds from such an incredible loss? It's been somewhat of a long process for me, much longer than I thought it would take me to get over him. I guess that show'd how much I really did love him. I loved him more than I've ever loved anyone. To this day, I'm still not sure why?? Maybe it was the things I learned from this relationship.... qualities and traits I now know I want and don't want in a person and in a relationship. He was different than all the other guys I've been with. I know being with him was an experience and it changed me forever. I believe that people come into your life for a certain reason. You may not always know why you met someone. But when a relationship ends, you take away something you were supposed to learn. You gain experiences and knowledge from each relationship you're in, and I gained more than I ever thought was possible. I deserve everything that's come my way, and I certainly do appreciate it. Because of him, I'm better off today, than before he came into my life.
What you've given or taught me….
- Strength
- Faith in myself and in others
- Fearlessness to try something new or scary
- Goals
- Belief in myself and my dreams
- You pushed me to take on certain responsibilities I never paid much attention to.
- The importance of taking care of myself
- You taught me better work ethic
- Better money management skills (>_<)
- You taught me the power of love
- Freedom
- Importance of friends and family
- Home really is right in your own backyard
- The grass isn't always greener on the other side
- To live my life for myself, not for anyone else
I know there's more, but this is what I've come up with for now. I've lost one of my closest friends but I regained a part of my life, that was missing, and that I knew I was meant to live. Before I felt like I was living someone else's life, and not my own. You've given me more than I can ever thank you for…. But now it's time to move on.
You've given me my wings to fly solo… I think you always knew I was never the bird to keep caged, thank you for thinking of me when I forgot about what was truly best for myself.
