You Were Just a Chapter in My Life

I think you are giving yourself way too much credit thinking that my life still revolves around you. It doesn’t and it never will. Yes, I was very much into you and I was well invested in us, at least until the moment I thought you were worth my love and affection.   

Our love story is one I’ll always keep in a very special place in my heart because of everything that I learned from it not because you were always amazing. Yes, we had good moments and those memories are worth saving. 

You were an exciting, intense ride – at times way too intense,  but overall, a fulfilling experience, a good chapter in my book of life. This doesn’t mean you can go around thinking that you define me or that my life depends on how much our story shaped me. You fucked up too, way too many times and to be honest, you're just a minuscule part of what turned me into the person that I am today, so please don’t flatter yourself too much. 

Yes, I learned a lot in the time that we were together but remember, it takes two to make a relationship work and a lot of what I learned while being with you is because of my ability to identify what was healthy and what was not. 

You see, I’m the one figuring out what went wrong and why and getting the best out of the experience. How I handle our story is on me and you cannot take credit for how my story continues after you’re no longer in it. You no longer have power over me.  

I have the freedom to choose how I want my life moving forward. I have the power to choose wiser and better and the possibilities are endless. You don’t have a saying, you don’t get to influence me or change me in any way. 

The good thing about closing a chapter in your life is that you know for sure that the next one will be better. I’m stronger and the new me won’t allow you back not even by mistake. I gave you endless opportunities when we were together and I learned that people don’t change. I learned to set boundaries and to not settle for less than I deserve.

I want my next chapter to be with someone who wants more than a temporary love. I want someone who knows how to receive the love that I’m capable of giving. I want my next chapter to be the one where I experience the type of love that takes your breath away every day. 

You were just a chapter in my life that helped me learn more about myself and relationships in general. It helped me to grow into the person that I am today and gave me the experience needed to fight for what my heart desires. I want my next chapter to be the one that defines true love for me because after closing this chapter with you I’m ready for a forever kind of love.
