What I Wish Someone Told Me Years Ago

I wish someone told me years ago

that just because someone rejects you 

doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.

 

I wish someone told me years ago

that just because someone treats you poorly 

doesn't mean you lack what you need to be treated better.

 

How someone behaves towards you

is never ever a result of who you are;

it is always a reflection of who they are.

 

I wish I didn't base my feelings

on how I was treated;

I wish my emotions didn't spiral

with someone's criticism or rejection.
