Here’s to the girl who lost herself when she fell in love:

Before you became his girl, you were once another soul’s friend. So don’t forget the people who were there for you when you still don’t have him. Don’t distance yourself from your friends just because you think you already have someone constant in your life. Remember that they have put up with your messed up life and random dramas more than he has ever put up with yours.

Before you became his girl, you were once a sister to your siblings. Don’t let them down. Don’t cling on to your guy as if he’s more important than your siblings. Remember that they made you laugh and cry and mad way before he made you feel all those insane emotions you are feeling now. They’re your family.

Before you became his girl, you were once a daughter - a daddy’s girl, your mother’s pride. Never hurt them in any way. Do not become a disappointment to them in any way. Remember that they’ve shown you and made you feel what love is like before your boyfriend did. And their love will always be unconditional. They’ll always take you back no matter how grave your mistakes were. They’ll always welcome you home to their loving arms. Never take that for granted. Do good things for your actions will always reflect the way they have raised you. People won’t be talking about your mistakes. They’ll be talking about how your parents failed to instill in you the right values. Never dispose them just to have your own version of forever with someone whom you think is meant for you. Your boyfriend can leave you for another; your parents won’t.

Before you became his girl, you were once a child - a child of God. Do not compromise your faith, beliefs and principles for someone who would make you turn your back against Him. Remember that you are His princess and He wants nothing but the best for you. The right guy would help you grow in His love and won’t encourage you to commit sin. The right guy should love God more than he loves you. If he doesn’t, let him go.
