I was looking through my old journals and found this. I hope it blesses someone.

We might feel like we'll never love again. We might feel like we'll never have a relationship like we ''once had''. We might feel like we don’t want to be in a relationship ever again. But that’s all negative thinking. We're exaggerating things. We're undermining His power. We need to remind ourselves not to worry about it. We need to keep trusting Him.
We are worthy enough for any guy, any relationship. We are. We have our strengths, positive qualities and blessings. Do we really know that we're deserving? We don't need to close up or punish ourselves.
None of us want to hurt and break anymore. But in the end, everything we went through will be worth it. All of it will have built us up and we'll be able to look back at it and realize it really did happen for a reason. As much as our emotions can get crazy, getting the best of us, it’s not the end of the world. This is just the beginning. We'll never be the same, in a good way.
Whether there’s a guy out there for us or not… that really isn’t what’s important. It’s never meant to be the most important! What’s important is that we see ourselves as God sees us. Are we improving with that? What’s important is that we keep Him as the center of everything. Then, everything else will fall into place.
Father, continue to help us to see ourselves through your eyes.
We don't need anyone to make us happy. We don’t need a guy to make us happy, and we don’t even need friends to make us happy. They are not the answers to happiness. The only one we need to make us happy is God. He has redeemed us and made us as precious creations. He has made us beautiful inside and out. We have no reason to fear man. We have no reason to feel inferior or insecure. We have no reason to feel unwanted. We do have confidence. Hold to that confidence! We have no reason to feel ashamed or put down. It doesn’t matter what they think. We are still, and always will be valuable in His eyes. We have no reason to feel unworthy or undeserving of anyone. This is something we need to remember, and continually remind ourselves. We need to remember, to consider it lucky for them to know us. Not in a conceited manner, but to know that we're kinda awesome. God knows it, so we better believe it. ^__^
