Dear Diary,

Sometimes we don't realize we are unhappy until we are broken down...

I got some advice today. Do what makes me feel good.

I need to listen to that advice.

Maybe I'll start painting again or writing stories...

I could do hair and nails and makeup for people...

Being a nice person with a big heart and limitless amounts of forgiveness and a reputation for giving as many chances as you can get... Its hard.

Tomorrow needs to be about me. My family. Not what I can do for anyone else...

I always do for everyone else...

Its not a waste of time. Its not a waste of money. Gifts are gifts for a reason. I spend time with people for a reason.

My love won't fade, but it may change. My hope for a third chance needs to dwindle or I will never be able to go on living my life happily.

I deserve to be happy.

"I don't need you to respect me, I respect me. I don't need you to love me, I love me. But I want you to know you can know me if you just change your mind..." ~Steven Universe (change your mind)

I believe now, after so much pain, that we should all learn to love ourselves before we can be in a committed relationship.

I loved a few times. I will again.

I know that I am mature enough to be friends. It will be difficult at first. But I don't need anyone to validate my worth.

I never needed anyone else to be happy. But I love sharing my happiness with others. I hope that someday may confidence and happiness will rub off onto others.

Tonight I cry. Tomorrow I cry. But tomorrow I will smile. I will laugh. I will love myself.

No more poison between us buddy. I promise.

Thank you...
