I don’t wish to be desired, I wish to be valued. My self-worth, self-respect, self-love and happiness is my priority not my option.

I have endured mountains of pain and heartache…so that half of the time I’ve become numb to certain things.

You see, I’ve tried to explain the depth of my pain to you and still you don’t understand. Understanding is much more important than what you think you know or what you choose to believe.

The scars that all the damage have left made me so cold inside. There are days that I can barely breathe, barely get up but still I do it.

I push myself to do what my heart no longer can. I’m scarred for life and the sad thing is…you’ll never know nor understand the intensity of it.

Tell us: Why is putting yourself first important?
