As I sit and reflect on my sisters...girlfriends...my mother, and think about my own life--
my roles as wife...mother...sister and friend...the word in my heart is to stop giving self away; stop settling.
Too many wasted tears spill over situations and relationships we can absolutely control...
but when he doesn't have to legitimate all the goodies he gets for free--when she can "sneak in" and make him what you wouldn't...there is no one else to blame.
Happy is a choice and it isn't cheap. Know your worth. Know your place. Value is assigned, but respect is earned.
Love. You. First.
Thoroughly.
Completely.
Shamelessly.
