I have had my fair share of bad relationships and each time that one of them ended, I thought I was the problem. I would pace between the walls of my mind wondering what I did wrong and why this always happened. I saw my friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers have solid relationships, but I couldn't keep one.
For so long, I asked what was wrong with me. But it wasn't me. I wasn't the problem. I dated who my energy attracted. I dated the ones with excuses. The ones that weren't scared to raise their voice because I misunderstood something. The ones that lied about where they were after work. The ones that panicked if I reached for their phone. The ones that didn't tell me to have a great day or to make it home safe. What I thought I needed/wanted because it was familiar, is simply what I accepted. I could go on and on and I'm sure (eventually) I will share more throughout this journey. But I don't want to rush the conversations or connections here. I don't need to hurry to share my words and you don't have to hurry to read them when I do share them. --- things can't be rushed if you want to truly understand the root of where your pain and emotions come from. Don't be in a hurry to heal. Don't be in a hurry to understand. Don't be in a hurry to get to a new season. Don't be in such a hurry that you accept the familiar. So... let me say this…and you can sit with it for a minute... Know that you aren't the reason your last relationship didn't work out
