She's Strong, but She's Tired (What She Felt Book 3) (Volume 3)

by R.H. Sin

single mothers. just because you share a child doesn’t give him domain over your life just because he’s the father of your child doesn’t mean you are obligated to allow him the power to dictate your emotions there is a way for him to father his child without compromising your peace of mind set boundaries, set rules be the Queen that you are and demand that he follow those guidelines just because you share a child doesn’t mean you have to share yourself or share in part of his misery

she stopped demanding him to do all the things he wouldn’t do she stopped begging him to change and just left him where he stood

It hurts because you genuinely give a fuck. Sometimes the heart cares for the wrong person.

The right person will feel like home. So, keep moving until you find a safe place to rest.

the more self-respect you gain the more willing you are to lose people who don’t deserve to be kept

you gain so much more when you remove people who don’t belong in your life

And to those of you coparenting a child with a man who has been less than kind, create boundaries, rules, guidelines. You deserve to be respected, and he must know that, and he must follow your rule as the Queen you are. You don’t have to walk away entirely from him, but you mustn’t allow him the power to dictate your life. You are in control. Having a child in common doesn’t mean you’re obligated to put up with someone’s b.s.

Stop giving second chances to fools. Stop providing new opportunities to those who never deserved a chance in the first place.

Look how far you’ve come, despite the pain, the heartache. You continue, toward the love you deserve. You’ve always had this power, but there are nights when you’re just tired. Weary from fighting, exhausted from being weighed down by toxic relationships. We may not know each other, but if you’re here, you’re important, and you matter, and I care, and I will always be here to remind you, to push you, to encourage you. Please, never give in or give up on yourself.

What you tolerate is what they’ll continue to give.

Your life is a montage of survival and strength. A story worth being celebrated.

Life is beautiful when you begin to say no to all the people who were never worthy of a yes.

that was her magic the way she loved like she’d never been hurt

saying no to him meant saying yes to yourself

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it hurts because you genuinely give a fuck. It hurts because even though you want to hold on, you know that letting go is the best thing you could do for your future, and that doesn’t make it any easier.

you are worthy of your love you are worthy of your forgiveness you are worthy of your kindness start choosing yourself

you are allowed to burn bridges that no longer deserve to reach you

Don’t let a day go by without reminding yourself that you are worthy of a love that makes you feel safe.

a man in love is motivated to make sure the one he loves feels secure in their relationship

The ending of any relationship can be difficult, but the fact that it’s finally over gives you a greater opportunity to love everything about yourself that they didn’t.

the ocean spends its life reaching for the shoreline no matter the distance no matter the weather and this is the way love should be

you’re damaged fucked up and broken but you still deserve a love that reminds you that your flaws and imperfections are what make you lovable

your heart belongs to you and this is where it should stay until you find someone who loves you in a way that reminds you to love yourself
