I choose happiness

A lot of times we don’t want to give up a relationship because we don’t want people to tell us, “I told you so.” We don’t want ourselves to be proven wrong. We want to tell people they were wrong about us. That voice inside us keeps telling we this is bad news but we refuse to listen because we want to be right.

We stay in relationships because it’s comfortable, it’s easier than walking out of it and finding someone new. We are lazy to go through that process again. It’s tiring, especially if it doesn’t work out yet another time. But at the end of the day, are we doing justice to ourselves in this lifetime if we are not brave enough to chase after our own happiness just because of these petty reasons?

Enough is enough.

I don’t want to feel bad for myself anymore. I don’t want to hang on to something when I can already see a bad ending at the end of it. I want someone who is proud of me, someone who compliments me, someone who sends me cute texts because I like them, someone who is mushy to me just because. I want someone who doesn’t hide anything from me, someone who acts like I mean something to him - even if it’s not the world - but at least I know he cares. I just want to feel wanted.

For once, I want to think for myself.

And this time, I’m choosing happiness.
