A part of me feels like I wasted my time for nearly 2 decades.
Because you feel cheated having given so much of yourself, your time, your energy, your love.
For nineteen years. The anger of wasting my time for 19 years to throw it all way. Why did I give so much of myself for someone I loved to not appreciate it?
But I read something that said you did not waste your time or love when someone chooses to no longer choose you. They did. They wasted it. Because you gave it purely out of love and intention. They may have decided to throw it away, but you can always make more.
So it got me thinking. Our love is like currency. You work really hard to make it and you choose to nogift it to others to show you how much you care. Now after you gift it, it’s up to the recipient as to how they decide to spend it.
Do they cherish it?
Do they throw it away carelessly?
Do they pay it forward and show the love you’ve given them to others?
Do they know how hard you worked to save this up for them?
Do they fold it up carefully and save it for a rainy day?
Do they take it for granted, thinking there will always be more?
I know it hurts when you see them throw it away carelessly but remember! Like currency, someone will pick it up. And they will be so happy, so appreciative, feel SO lucky that they found something so rare. Your love could make someone’s day when they’re feeling down. It could be their lucky penny. It could be that $100 bill on the ground, gleaming with hope. So don’t ever feel like you wasted any love you give out just because someone can’t see the value in it. They are the ones squandering something so valuable, so pure, so priceless so irreplaceable. Your love is also unique to you! It can never be replicated by anyone else. BUT no matter how that person wasted it, always, always, always remember above all:
YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE MORE.
