Beautiful Mistakes

by R.J. Avenira

broken promises leave scarred soil across the fields of your heart but one day you will heal and plant anew

pain is the thing that teaches you the places you need to be held tenderly by someone who truly loves you

what really matters is that you never believe that you deserve to be treated the way they treat you

do not hesitate to say no to the things and people in your life that infringe on your peace

you deserve to be surrounded with people who reflect your light instead of taking it all for themselves

there is a difference between forgiving people and giving them another chance to make the same mistakes they made before

you can’t blame yourself for losing who you are while you were so focused on trying to help him

do not be with someone who will not accept any blame for what they do or say

sometimes you just have to cry until you are so exhausted that you can begin to move on

do not come to me asking for forgiveness when i have not even had time to forgive myself for giving you a chance

find someone whose kindness of heart matches the kindness of their words

let his mistake of losing a diamond be your chance to realize that you deserve so much more than him

you cannot start a new chapter in your life while you are still holding on to someone who moved on from you a long time ago

do not allow his cold heart to take your warmth and make you like him

he does not deserve the energy you give him

you are far too powerful too full of lightning sprung from the hands of goddesses to think that some lowly man is worthy of the grieving of your heart

it is okay to outgrow people

stop losing sleep over those who don’t even bat an eye at the idea that they have hurt you

to be broken is not the same as giving up you do not need to give up on the contrary see this as an opportunity to put yourself back together again into something new

you do not know the extent of your true strength until you keep fighting even though you’re tired

find someone who doesn’t cringe when you express your individuality and quirks find someone who sees who you are and loves you deeply

i swear the power of your soul is infinite

do not think twice about leaving situations that make you feel badly about yourself

do not take it personally but also do not give them a pass for the way they act

joy is a beautiful thing on the face of a woman who has gotten over a man who does not deserve her
