You're worth so much more than that!!

For quite a long time I've been wondering why I keep being hurt by similar circumstances? Am I dumb or something? I've just taken a step back and it has dawned on me that it's the same things that people say, it's the same emotional roller coaster rides that I commit to that land me in the same emotional ditches! But why do I keep repeating the same cycle? Am I addicted to the same kind of hurt? Apparently it's one of the many signs of madness to keep repeating the same thing while expecting different results. In plain English, you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome, it just never works (I'm not sure what would possess one to think that would work to even begin with).

I spent a lot of the day on blogs, reading quotes and passages from different websites in pursuit of the answer to why I keep sabotaging myself emotionally and it all boiled down to one thing... SELF-WORTH!! You treat yourself well if you think you deserve to be treated well. You abuse yourself and intern allow other people to abuse you (emotionally) if you don't think you deserve to be treated well. If you're a princess,you're a princess PERIOD! If you don't know that you're a princess, well... That's where the error begins. When you don't know how much you're worth you're bound to sell yourself short!! (Way too short)

So I came across this quote that says, "sometimes you have to forget what you feel, and remember what you deserve!"

I don't deserve to be taken for a ride, I don't deserve to be undermined or spoken down to, I don't deserve to be seen as a sex object, I don't deserve to be seen as inferior in any way at all, I don't deserve to beg to be where I should be,... And the list could just go on and on of things that I just DO NOT DESERVE!! Sometimes I may settle because it feels good to be desired, it feels good to be emotionally strong enough to take the knocks that are shot my way, it feels good to prove a person wrong... Bla bla bla (-_-) ultimately, however, if I want the cycle to stop in it's tracks I need to REMEMBER, that I deserve a WHOLE lot better than that, because I'm worth a whole lot more than that. 

The cycle stops HERE!! If someone wants me to even give them the light of day, they need to acknowledge that I'm worth ALOT, and unfortunately, not everyone can afford all of this!

Here's to remembering what I deserve, because I'm worth so much more than that!!
