On the Day We Broke Up, He Thought I Was Finished

We were together for five years. He decided to leave me using realistic, promising, and stressful reasons that sounded decent. During that time, I also thought that I was not good enough. It wasn't until later that I discovered—— It's not that I'm worthless, it's that I put all my energy into proving that I'm worthy of him. Being abandoned did not destroy me. It just made me finally stop testifying and start living for myself.
