You Deserve Happiness

Have you ever been in a relationship where you feel you need to compromise your happiness because you feel it will please the other person and make them happy?

But in reality you become unhappy?

These are the types of relationships where you find yourself questioning why you are involved with this person; how is it affecting you and your life?

Is it now only affecting you negatively?

Sometimes we can ignore how we truly feel when it comes to wanting to please those we love or care about, and we set our needs and feelings aside.

We can even stay in relationships for long periods of time, even if we are unhappy, because the thought of hurting someone is so unbearable.

You sacrificed all your happiness and have given all you could give, but what can give you now?

What do you do when you have nothing left to give?

You can start to feel empty, unhappy, drained, confused, and even depressed.

Not only because you have given so much to another, feeling energetically drained, but because you do not know how else to help them.

We can only do so much. We are not responsible for another person's feelings.

I know it can really feel that way sometimes, but it is the truth; we cannot control the emotions of others.

Nor can others control our emotions. We can only give our best selves when we are healthy and happy.

But when one person is only giving, and the other is only taking, it is up to you to decide what you are going to do about it.

Relationships are not always meant to last forever.You give and take from one another.

We learn and understand things about ourselves and other people.

Whether this is a relationship between you and your lover, friend, or anyone else, you need to look into yourself and ask, "How is this affecting me?"

So if you find yourself in this place, ask yourself, is this person healthy for you? Only you know the truth.

Listen to those small feelings you get. Go into meditation and look within yourself for the answer.

Whatever it is you feel you need to do, do it for you. Your well-being, happiness, and emotions matter too.

We all deserve happiness. Remember that.♡
