I Learned

I learned that I do need someone. I learned that my someone should be strong. Strong enough to deal with my baggage as I learn to accept and deal with his. I learned that sometimes dealing is not the best course to take.

I learned that I can change for the one I love. I learned that change is not always the best option. Sometimes it’s okay to just be you.

I learned to give more, and also ask for what I deserve. I learned that what I deserve will not readily be given.

I learned that it’s okay to ask for help, but help is not always needed so it’s okay to just be there.

I learned that love is not always enough to get you through the rough patches. You either bulldoze your way through or make a decision that will not always guarantee happiness.

I learned that happiness is not forever but it’s okay. I must learn to navigate through certain days of my life without it. I learned that losing someone is not the end, it is also a beginning.

I learned that pain is inevitable and blinding pain is enlightening. I learned that in pain there is strength. I am stronger and can now see clearer. I learned that I need to be me, look out for me and seek what in the end will make me happy. And I learned that it may not be you.
