learned
from my mother
was that
just because someone desires you
does
not mean they value you.
desire is the kind of thing that
eats you
and
leaves you starving.” —
Nayyirah Waheed,The Color of Low Self Esteem (via perfect)
Also, just because someone is interested in you doesn’t mean you have to let them into your life. Too many times in my teens/early 20’s did I date a boy just because he liked me. Not until I got some self worth did I realize I had a say, which is sad because that should have been one of the first lessons a girl learns, that she is completely in control of who she lets in her life. Hell, that should be an early lesson for both girls and boys.
