David and Liza Set An Example For All Unhealthy Relationships

David Dobrik and Liza Koshy have been together for around 2 years. They each started out on Vine and when Vine died, carried their lives over to Youtube. Recently, a video was posted on David's channel where the two came out and told the world that they had broken up.

When they were together, they did many things to try to make it work. Since they both are pretty famous Youtube stars, they kept their relationship off-line a lot to begin with. When they first got together they didn't tell the world for a while.

Once they did tell the world, then they didn't kiss on camera for a while. This might've been a way to get more views because of the suspense, but still, this was them keeping their private life off-camera. At least somewhat.

From that point on, they seemed inseparable. But a few days ago, they told the world that they had broken up around 6 months ago. They chose to try to figure things out theirselves before they went public with the news.

Liza shared that the reason for their split was because she was going through some difficult stuff. She commented that "it's the kind of stuff that I didn't realize Tumblr quotes like only time can heal or you have to love yourself before you can love anybody else kinda stuff. I didn't know those were real. They're real."

Basically, the two say that for now they needed to break up. They're still best friends and they love each other and couldn't imagine life separately, but there are some things that Liza needs to figure out before she can be in a relationship. They agreed that if one of them finds someone else while they're apart, that the new person will be accepted by the other and asked all the fans to do the same.

What I notice in typical relationships today is that they rarely take this step. We need to start stepping back and realizing that even if you love someone, sometimes you've just gotta let them go. Staying healthy ourselves and making sure others do the same should be one of our biggest concerns.

No more, "I know he's not good for me, but I love him." No. It's time for both sides of an unhealthy relationship to understand what's best. And don't just end things like the love never existed. Open up a dialogue. Help your partner understand that this is what needs to happen for now. Don't be afraid that if you end things they're over forever. If you two are meant to be together, you two will be.

But two people aren't always in the right place to be in a healthy relationship.

Or maybe, your love language is different.

It needs to be understood that loving someone isn't all you need to create a healthy relationship. You can love someone with all your being, but hopefully you wouldn't let them physically harm you, so why would you let them emotionally harm you? Even if they don't realize it, sometimes two people just don't fit together how we want them to.

So it's time to step back and realize when a relationship has become unhealthy for us or our partner. It's time to open up a dialogue, and it's time to start being adults about our relationships and how we end them. It's time to be the healthiest people that we possibly can be.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
