I really, really want to join this trend. I’ve thought about it so many times because honestly the truth is I’m genuinely happy and deeply blessed with the partner I have now. To the point that all the pain, bitterness, and bad experiences I went through with my ex have completely disappeared… like they never even existed.
If you start listing all the foolish, painful, and self sacrificing things people do in the name of love I’ve probably done every single one of them. I forgave endlessly, even when I shouldn’t have. I allowed myself to be fooled and taken for granted. I became a human punching bag, both emotionally and mentally. I was talked about, disrespected, and made to look like the bad person. I gave more than I should have even to the point of becoming a “bank,” spending my own money just to feel loved and valued. But despite all of that, I still thank God. Because every painful experience, every mistake, and every lesson shaped me into the person I am today. The past no longer has power over me. It can’t be used against me anymore because I’ve learned, I’ve grown, and I know my worth now. And today, I’m finally being loved the way I deserve without having to beg for attention, without having to chase, and without having to spend everything I have just to receive the bare minimum.
I’m truly grateful, because after everything I went through, I was blessed with someone who loves me genuinely. Someone I don’t have to beg or prove myself to just to be treated right. Someone who doesn’t rely on me to carry everything, because he’s a good provider and stands strong on his own. After all the bitterness I endured, God gave me a love that feels right, safe, and real. And for that, I will always be thankful.
