if someone loves and cares for you, they will make it fucking known to you. they will make it blatantly obvious. you shouldn’t have to be constantly consumed with insecurities and doubts about the people around you and whether or not they love you. if you are, address the damn issue. stop letting yourself be walked on. all it does is break your bones and turn you cold. stop letting yourself settle for those who aren’t good enough for you. he left you, it’s a lesson learned. you deserved better. you deserve better than someone who walks away when it gets hard. if someone quits at the first sign of struggle than they never really loved you. and that’s a damn fact. if you’re unhappy, change something. nothing changes if nothing changes. being sad and coping is acceptable, however sulking constantly is not. let yourself feel it, then push the damn thought away. YOU are the one in control. this is your life, act like it.
