Love Sparkles

The smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man.

I used to be so different before I met him four years ago. I was a quiet do gooder that never wanted to step over the line and do anything risky. Then he came into the picture and I changed for him. I didn’t change for the worst neccessarily. I’m just different now. I’ve become someone who I barely understand. These four years were a constant struggle of wanting to change to make him happy and still retaining my values and dreams. But for him, anything. I always thought this way. 
Now that he is out of my life the only solace I have found is to learn new things and do new things that he will never know about. I will rebuild myself as myself and change for no one. No one has any right to determine my future for me. I alone can decide where I’m going. 
It’s a struggle every day to not hear the sound of his voice and to wonder what he’s doing at this very moment. Then I remind myself that the man I fell in love with is not the man that broke my heart and left behind a broken shell of who I used to be. I’m slowly fixing myself. I’m repairing every crack that he left over the years. It’ll take a long time to be okay again, but I’m going to keep going because I know I will be okay someday. 
Thanks for nothing.
I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Calculated what I need on my finals to get the grade that I want: 38% and a 48%. Now I can breathe easy and keep calm while I study :)
I need to learn to be this calm from the beginning instead of freaking out all of the time..
