Love gone wrong breaks your heart but it is important to make sure it does SO MUCH MORE than that. Growing up, when things went wrong…

…my mom would always say, “Every person, place, and thing that God places in your life prepares you perfectly for a future only She/He can see.” She was telling me that each of these experiences or people brought me knowledge I needed to have. Combining that with the experience of trying to please people I thought I loved in order to get them to love me taught me that it is critical to be authentic and genuine. It also taught me that the most important love is self love. Because if you don’t highly value yourself, why would anyone else? If you are like me, you strongly commit to those you love and you will fight any battle for their happiness. One of the hardest lessons I have learned is that not everyone is worthy of your love and energy. It’s important to know the difference between those who are and those who aren’t. Lesson to Learn is the song that ties together all these life lessons.
