Dear Someone: You are not going to be here long enough to be unhappy.

Be wise enough to understand what a person is not saying.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

In your quest to get it together, to find happiness and fulfilment, to heal your heart, and to cultivate inner strength, never forget that you are nobody's test drive or trial run, nor should you be taken for granted or mistreated. You are nobody's experiment or learning experience in that relationship. If they are puzzled about how to love and treat you right, it's best to let them be confused with someone else. If they are uncertain and undecided, let them figure it out without you. If they are inconsistent or unreliable, it's better to let them go.

You are not a disposable object or a temporary placeholder. You are not defined by someone else's actions or words. You are not a mere option or a backup plan. You are not someone's emotional rehearsal or practice ground.
