I helped myself.
Wiped my own tears.
Put balm over fresh wounds.
Plastered parts of my heart that were still hurting.
Gave myself time.
Read books that soothed my soul.
Heard music that calmed my nerves.
Watched movies that made me smile.
Bit by bit. Piece by piece.
I put myself back together again and I gave
myself a second chance.
Because I knew that if I didn’t
then no one else would.

My favourite therapist says we tend to look for something external to fill us up, to offer comfort and safety. He insists that we are the only ones who can truly save ourselves. Once we do that, we will be in a wonderful position to attract the things (and/or partner) we want and need in life. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
