Vow to Me

Sometimes it takes getting hurt to know and understand your true worth.  I made a vow to myself to always love, cherish, and appreciate myself.  I also made a vow to never love a man more than I love myself.  Nobody can love me better than me.  The long nights and the many tears that fell on my pillow was not in vain.  They constantly remind me of my worth and all that I deserve. 

Forgiving can be tough, but I'm thankful for having a forgiving heart.  Forgiving all that has hurt me allowed me to love myself even more.  I can go on knowing God is by my side and when I put my trust in him, I will be blessed.  I learned that disappointments come and they go; I'll get hurt and I'll love.  Through it all, I'm thankful.
