The glass half-full end of it

I love that by not being able to change anything about the past, I am forced to be accountable for my actions and be more in charge of the person I am in the present.

I love that with every day, I am becoming more of the person that I want to be simply because for once, I am being accountable of who that person is and what she wants going forward.

I love that although the past hurts, I am the only one able to learn from it and apply those lessons in my future.

I love knowing that I will be happy again and it gives me comfort to know that the point of character is the process of building it.

I love the memories that were created in the process of it all. I love that I felt what I felt in the moment and that can stay with me forever.

I love that now, two weeks after the fact, I am more in tune with who I am and I am working through every single emotion in order to become more emotionally mature and stable.

I love that I still believe in love and fate. Even though I've been dragged through the dirt and had my heart ripped out of my chest, I still am so elated by the concept of a forever love.

I love that in the process of learning who I am and what I want, I am able to finally set some boundaries for myself and not let myself go with every romantic interaction I have. Who I am is important and it should be seen as such by a partner as well.

I love that when eventually I will go back out there, I will do so with the best intentions and seek out a partner that will match what I am looking for. I will no longer seek distractions or temporary romances because I will know who I am at my core and what it is that I desire.

I love knowing that when I'll be ready, everything will just fall into place. I am not afraid of letting myself take time to myself and completely exclude myself from anything that isn't serving me at the moment.

I love knowing that the person I am working on becoming, will attract the most genuine love and light and will not allow for half-assed interactions. I am excited to be that woman.

I love that within this process, I will be so in tune with myself that I will be okay with my own company and I won't need anyone to validate me.

I love that I am doing this for myself. I am taking the time to sit down with my emotions, understand them and process them all in order to become who I am deserving of being. I want to be the partner that I also desire to have and I am okay with knowing that perhaps I'm not there yet, and it will all come naturally with time and work.

I love that even though I am hurt and my ego is on the floor, I have the ability to miss people and moments which in turn reminds me that I am human and have valid emotions and desires.

I love that I am self-aware in that I know there's a gap I am trying to fill and I am putting the work towards that.

I love that this experience, as beautiful and tragic as it has been, it taught me things about myself, about love, about who I want to be, and I am now on a journey of self-discovery that will fill that gap within me.

I love that even though this didn't work out, it gave me a framework for what I deserve from a partner going forward. I've seen how good things can be, and now I just have to work on myself in order to attract that sort of energy going forward.

I love that I am not giving up on myself, love and everything in between.

I love that I am resilient and accepting of life's changes.

I love that I am able to pick myself up with every kick to the dirt.

I love that I am trying to be a better me.
