My ex made me realize this…

If only..but that has changed because you don't have to settle or prove who you are or your worth to anyone. If they can't then that's their loss and BAYBAY I may be crazy but I'm also a healer and my logical practical aspects are too notch. I'm literally an asset to any person place or thing I touch... Remember to live life for yourself lovez. Changing my mindset has been a huge win for me. Once you know better you do better.

My Ex Made Me Realize This…
Girl to girl—sometimes it takes the wrong relationship to teach us the right lesson. ❤️‍🩹 My ex taught me that I’m worth something and that love isn’t supposed to be messy, draining, or full of doubt. The love you accept should make you feel chosen every day, not questioned. It should feel safe,
