| No More Wasted Tears |
Oh, the pain of it all...there is so much pain that relationships bring. Each area brought with it, its own unique pain. I would be ashamed to write, that I was hoodwinked, bamboozled and run amok by people and their intentions of being my friend, loving me, believing that they would marry me and spend the rest of their life with me but then reality hits and for some they were only there for what I can do for them, and others just loved the sound of their own voices speaking lies and then of course, there were those who really never had good intentions after all, who never really knew what it was to be committed and be open to love.
I am a pretty decent friend, daughter,sister, and mother to one "mini-me", although not perfect, I truly love people with the purest of heart and in the last few years, one by one I have seen that people in my life have proven to be everything but what they said or appeared to be. I have been burned and burned badly. I fell in love with someone that did not know how to love me back, and who was the master of keeping secrets and did not know how to speak truth and be honest, maybe it was his fear, maybe it was he just didn't care, maybe it was his upbringing or maybe it was me...I settled, I trusted too much and I loved hard... I realized after finding out the truth about our relationship, it put an end to me holding on to something that was not for me...I could actually let the relationship go to the graveyard and be buried six feet under, never ever to be revived. I can let that man who really did not know to love the woman in me go and thank God that I saw that he definitely was not the man for me. God has a way of answering our prayers by exposing people's dirt, so that he lets us know that all along, despite our own choices and mistakes, that we can walk away and find better, do better, live better.
Don't get me wrong, I loved me some him, but boy, I tell you, I am happy that God showed me who he was and that I can finally let go. And it is freeing to finally let go, that I am laughing inside...
So, to all the tears, I cried, all the prayers asking God to show me and reveal to me, whether he was for me, all the words and signs I have ignored. I am happy that I know that relationships all have an expiration date. They begin and they have an end. I have no more tears to cry, I wasted them all on people that were never intended to stay in my life, or go with me to my next level. And my next level is so much better, where promotion is a sure thing, where love is gonna be for keeps...this time!
Listen, love comes and goes, people hurt you and lie to you and you shed tears.We have cried over relationships, people and things that do not deserve our tears. The cheating boyfriend or girlfriend, the condemning mother or father, the jealous sibling or friends. We cry and cry and beat ourselves up and said why me? But could I tell you something that you really need to hear. Are you ready to hear it?
There is nothing wrong with you, nothing at all. If you have been a good friend, daughter, mother, faithful, kind and true and someone in your life abused your trust, or could not accept your love, there would be a time when you come to the end and have to move on... Move on to live life again, move on to laugh out loud, move on to find love again, move on to your better.
So friends, speak to yourself and tell yourself, NO MORE WASTED TEARS! You have cried enough in the relationship, you don't need to drop one ounce of tears in its demise, you have reached the end of it all. You can dry your eyes and let your healing flow...Better is Coming!
