"Finally" reached acceptance

A few weeks ago I was sad, crying, anxious and I didn't want to let it go but the last few days I have felt so at peace within myself.  I think I have finally reached the acceptance stage.  I've always known that I deserve better but I still was hanging out to that deep hope that things were going to change and he was going to be what I wanted.  After seeing some pics of my brother with his gf and how happy and in love they look I realized what I always known, that I want so much more, that I want full attention and love not half a relationship, I don't want the worries and the sadness with the occasional happy day that he could bring to me cause he gave me a few hours of his time.
Every time I still thinking about him I just block it out - I don't let myself dwell on it. Something better would come along - it might take a while and I might feel lonely and sad but in the end things will work out - I know they will.
I feel strong that if he ever contact me (which I don't think that's going to happen) I would say no thanks.
 
"Love left and came back with new eyes, with new hands. Love left and came back with a voice I did not recognize, with a heart I did not expect. Yes – love left, but when it came back I could not help but forgive it, for it was more beautiful than I had ever imagined; it was bigger than I had ever hoped."
