The moment you settle for less than you deserve and compromise yourself for conditional love and acceptance, you get even less the you settled for. You find yourself in toxic relationships, assume responsibility for someone else’s needs and emotions, and allow yourself to be pressured or guilted into doing things you don’t want to do. I know this oh so well. I gave the wrong people the right part of me and accepted way less than I deserved. I was the girl willing to please others at the expense of me emotional well-being. I was the girl who compromised her values and who I was in hope that everything would eventually fall into place. I was the girl who was repeating destructive patters out of fear. The girl who believed "good enough" was good enough. And for that, I would ultimately pay in self-worth. Thankfully I’ve learned from my bad decisions. I’ve learned the hard way that the nonsense can only go on if you allow it. Never again will I allow anyone to make me second guess my worth. Never again will I seek validation from anyone. And never again will I fall back into my old ways. Never, ever, again. 😘❤️💯 #motivation #quote #lifequote #quoteoftheday #qotd #dailyquotes #instaquote #realktalk #truth #love #dearladies #relationships #selflove #loveyourself #selfworth #lettinggo #noregrets #knowyourworth #trustyourjourney #personalgrowth #lifecoach #lifelessons #womenwhoinspire #womenempoweringwomen #womenempowerment #wordstoliveby #wordsofwisdom
