Just A Thought (The Measure of Success):

​Our romantic successes and failures do not dictate our importance, our relevance, or our self-worth. Whether we have a man, just broke up with him, are dating several, or have zero prospects, our deservedness of love, loyalty, and respect should have nothing to do with our track record. Societal pressure is non-sense. Cultural pressure is non-sense. Family pressure is non-sense. And any disregard for our feelings, sensitivities, efforts, or losses should in no way deter our hope for love, nor should we be defined by our disappointment during it's absence or our fear of it during our brokenness. Ladies, please let your hearts heal before you love again. Please allow your eyes to see before you love again. Please allow him to prove himself before you love again. We can't get to a "win" until we prepare ourselves for it.
