Save The Best Parts Of Yourself For The People Who Deserve It

Save the best parts of yourself for the people who deserve it, the people who appreciate your time and your presence in their lives. The ones who try to include you in their plans and want to make more memories with you. The ones who show up for you when you need a friend or when you need support and the ones who consistently check up on you. The ones who want to celebrate your successes with you and be there for you during your dark times.

Save the best parts of yourself for the people who genuinely care about you when you need it most, not only when it’s convenient for them. The ones who don’t let you walk away feeling unloved or unappreciated or misunderstood. Save the best of you for the people who show you their best sides too. The ones who trust you with their innermost secrets. The ones who have deeper conversations and ask more personal questions to get to know who you really are. The ones who show you their vulnerability and are not afraid to express how much they love you or what you really mean to them. The ones who are truly afraid of losing someone like you because they know your worth. 

These are the people who deserve your best and a little more, but don’t give the best of you to those who take advantage of your kindness or your generosity. Avoid the people who manipulate you, play games, or appear in your life only when they want something from you. Avoid the ones who lie and tell you what you want to hear while their actions are constantly showing otherwise. Avoid the ones who make you feel sorry for opening up or giving too much or showing them what they mean to you. Avoid the ones who make you feel like they’re doing you a favor by being nice to you. 

Not everyone deserves to see your best because some people have the ability to make you feel that the best parts of you are not welcomed or appreciated. They have the ability to close your heart off from loving and trusting again. They have the ability to make you feel like you should be cold-hearted or emotionless to win in life. 

Save the best of you for the ones who truly inspire you to keep on being kind, brave, vulnerable, and caring. The ones who appreciate what you do for them and repay you with the same effort and enthusiasm. The ones who are truly grateful for your presence in their lives because you deserve to be surrounded by people who bring out the best in you without making you feel sorry for it. You deserve to be surrounded by people who do not let you down each time you give a piece of yourself or your heart away.
