I see guys spending weeks, months trying to make a girl happy. I see girls waiting endlessly for their guys to call. Is that all your life if about? For your lover to validate you? Or to make relationship work? Instead why not focus on yourself – working on your goals, learning something, being more positive person and helping others. That will boost your self-esteem more than any lover ever could. Next time that guy or girl treats you badly, say thank you. Say thank you for reminding me that I need to make myself the focus on my life, not you.
