Even If He Did Not Choose You Know that you are worthy. You are worthy of love, of respect, and of being cared for. Your value is not going to be measured by one person leaving. It’s not going to be defined by the number of people who left or stayed. The choices and decisions of other people do not make you any less worthy. You may be weak and broken now, but you are still precious. Know that not everyone will leave. Just because one person left you does not mean everybody else will. Know that there are people who know how to stay. Know that you have people around you who care for you enough to wait while you heal and to laugh with you when it’s finally over. Trust that someone loves you or will love you enough to stay by your side no matter how hard or easy life can get. Know that you did not lose, because love is not a competition. Love is a gift. Even though it feels like a curse right now, love is an opportunity the heavens have blessed you with to show make someone feel loved and happy. It was an opportunity to bare your soul and be understood in a special way. Love is an experience. Even though it ended, it’s a story that you can look back on. A story that left you lessons. A story that taught you about pain, and how it is needed for us to appreciate happiness more. Love is a story of taking chances, of breaking, and of healing. Know that you will make it through. It may be the most difficult thing right now. It can be paralyzing, the pain, the longing, the regrets, but know that it will end. One day, you will find healing. One day, you will learn how to smile again. Know that the memories will never fade, but the way you’re feeling about them now will. You will stop longing for it. You will stop crying about it. It’ll feel like a story you just read from a book or just a movie you watched. Know that you are not unloved. You have your family, you have your friends. There’s a whole bunch of people sending their concern and appreciation towards you. Finally, there’s you. Know that you are not being punished. You may not realize it now, but the pain you are feeling now, the brokenness, all of it has a reason. I know it’s hard to believe right now, but after all of that, you will see the beauty in what had happe
