by Michelle Caporale\u00a0<\/a><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve reached a level in my life where I care very much about myself. I value, respect and honor who I am. I\u2019m particular in choosing who I associate with and why. I now walk away what doesn\u2019t feel right, what hurts me. This was not always the case. I\u2019ve been where many of you are; confused, lost and hurting.<\/p>\n

Relationships should not have to be secrets or hardships. They require both parties willing to come together for the greater good of being happy and staying together through thick and thin.<\/p>\n

When each person has a healthy sense of self, you have two healthy people. When one is always giving, and the other is always taking, that\u2019s not a balance. There are times when one has to step about to help the other, that\u2019s normal. However, when there\u2019s the other partner taking and one is always giving that becomes taxing.<\/p>\n

I once dated someone who said I was their world, they loved me, we were meant to be. Yet, his actions said different. He took a vacation one week, stayed at home, never did anything with me, ignored me. The worst part came after I lost a family member, which devastated me. He never even called, nor texted. We had been together for almost a year and I had noticed that as each month passed he became less interested. I wanted to ignore the red flags.<\/p>\n

Our psychic advisors are here to uplift you. Call or chat today!<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

When I finally blew up out of hurt and frustration, he didn\u2019t bother to try to fix it. He went along his way leaving me for dead. I felt lost.\u00a0Those moments were hard to overcome. I felt useless, hopeless. It took me almost two years to get past him. Every now and think I still think of him.<\/p>\n

If I had respect for myself back then, I would have walked away and never tried to make something work that was never going to work. We had been down this route before, it was our 2nd time around. Nothing changed. He was good in that beginning but never stayed consistent.\u00a0He never will. I intuitively know this about him. I wish him well but I\u2019m better off without him.<\/p>\n

Even though it destroyed me, I learned to value myself over time.\u00a0I learned I mattered. I started drawing boundaries with people. I started to care about what I wanted and what I was doing. I started to put me first.\u00a0I lost myself in one way, found myself in another and I survived. You can too!<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t change others, but we can change how we react and handle ourselves.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re empty and lost you cannot find your way, know that in time you will. Know that you have value and worth.<\/p>\n

Later on, I met a wonderful man who loved me just as I was and didn\u2019t ignore me. He stood around. He was the right one.<\/p>\n
