It's not him that I miss | littleduckie's Blog

I've been realizing lately that what I've been grieving for these last eight months has not really been my ex-fiance or our relationship.  As much as I loved him, quite frankly, the relationship was rarely satisfying.  I think he had good intentions, but he just didn't have what it takes to have a successful relationship.

No, it's not all that I've been missing.  It's ME, the person I was before I got into that relationship.  Two years of broken promises, constant rejection, and being made to feel like a burden made me forget, for a time, who I really am and what I'm really worth.  I went into it very proud of the person I had made myself into and of what I had accomplished . . . by the end of the relationship, I thought nothing I had to offer was of any value whatsoever.

My heart is healing now -- because I'm coming back to myself.
