To every boy who has ever broken my heart

To every boy who has ever broken my heart:

(Whether it be through his actions or through his words, regardless, it happened.)

Maybe I was too sensitive, or maybe he was too insensitive, or maybe it was a combination of both. Maybe he just didn't understand. Maybe it wasn't the right timing, or my dress wasn't low enough, or I just didn't have stimulating conversation topics, or maybe I just missed all the telltale warning signs along the way. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this, or maybe he isn't, but we're just two stubborn people who think we can have it all and then some.

Whatever the reason was, I'd actually like to thank you-

For giving me stories to learn from, stories to tell myself, and stories to tell others.

For opening my eyes to my own self-worth and what I actually deserve.

For letting me go.

Because when you did, I found out what it meant to be truly happy.
