Do you ever feel like punishing or hurting yourself because you are not loved?

NEVER. EVER. EVER.

Why, because I love myself. Tremendously. Please spend some time connecting with how wonderful you are. The caring woman you deserve is out there, however, because of your lack of self-worth; you are not ready for her.

As cheesy as it sounds, you need to love yourself. The strength to walk away from a woman that makes you unhappy, that isn't treating you the way you need to be treated comes from your level of self-worth. I understand you are a novice in relationships, but that is no excuse for not allowing yourself to be treated the way you feel you need to be treated. I hope you have learned that making someone a priority when they've hardly made you an option.. isn't right. It is hurting you, you deserve better and you are worth better. I recommend looking into some therapy options, to help guide you on a journey of self-love. You deserve it.

Best of luck to you - XO
