This Was Meant To Find You: When You Needed It Most

by Charlotte Freeman

Sometimes you lose a love to find a love that’s deeper, kinder, stronger.

This selfish kind of love does not deserve to play tug of war with your heart when you are trying to move on from your pain.

Allow yourself to sit with your pain as long as you need to allow your pain to teach you all that it needs to teach but do not allow it to define you because you are such a beautiful composition of so much more than the things that have broken you.

You deserve to receive the kind of love that makes your heart feel calm, assured, and secure.

Sometimes life can be cruel, even to the kindest hearts and the softest souls on this planet.

Success can also be found by following your heart and putting yourself first. Success can be found by letting go of something you didn’t want to let go of but knowing why you had to. Success can be found by making the right choices for yourself even if it doesn’t make sense to everyone around you. Success is realizing that you deserve more than what you currently have and being brave enough to make a change.

You deserve to live a life that makes you happy.

I promise you that your feelings, your anxiety, and your trauma are not a burden to the ones who love you and I promise you that you are capable of giving and receiving love despite it all.

It’s not selfish to make yourself the most important person in your life. It’s important to be there for others, but don’t forget to be there for yourself too.

Please believe that you deserve to feel free of all the things you’re carrying that were never actually yours to hold onto. Because you deserve to breathe without burden and feel happiness without the fear of someone taking it away from you once more.

You will never be a burden to the ones who love you.

Your soft heart deserves to feel loved and chosen, not just today, but every day.

At some point in your life you may need to let go of someone you love in order to love yourself the way you deserve to be loved.

Stop letting shitty people dictate how you feel about yourself.

Because life is meant to be lived, life is meant to be felt, the pleasure, the pain and everything in-between.

Please keep your heart open for the one person that’s going to love you softly, deeply, passionately, patiently, kindly. Please keep your heart open for the one person who has the potential to change it all.

Thank you for teaching me that I was wasting my time on an “I can’t do this anymore” kind of love, when all I ever wanted was a “we’ve got this, let’s fix this” kind of love.

I know it’s hard to heal from something you wanted so deeply, it’s hard to move on from a situation you so desperately wanted to be your forever.

Maybe your ‘forever’ was always supposed to be your biggest lesson. Maybe losing your ‘forever’ could be the best thing that ever happens to you.

When the love is right and the person is right, it will work out. Trust

that. Believe that. Stop doubting yourself and questioning your self-worth. If someone is making you feel that you are less than worthy then that is not the right person for you. You deserve to feel loved and adored, just the way you are.

You were not born with the darkest and most difficult thoughts that you have about yourself. These thoughts often arise by the actions of those who do not deserve your love.

you deserve someone who is everything you need, someone who keeps their promises, someone who has more than just potential. You deserve someone who follows through, you deserve to have every little bit of energy you put in, given back. You deserve it all.

Never apologize for somebody else’s inability to love you the way you deserve to be loved.

You cannot control the outcome of a situation, but you can control how you react.

The people who respect you, will respect your boundaries.

You Are Worthy. Read it again. You are worthy.

Thank you for breaking my heart, thank you for not being everything I wanted you to be, so I could find someone that is.

Never let go of your boundaries. Let go of the people that question them.
