If He Doesn't Want All Of You, Then You Should Want None Of Him

If He Doesn't Want All Of You, Then You Should Want None Of Him
Tumblr

You were all in from day one. The first moment you saw him, you knew he was something special. You instantly gave yourself to him without even realizing. You tried to play it cool, act somewhat unavailable, but that never really worked out for you. You were all his, but he was not yours.

He gave you his love in doses. If you asked him to meet up for lunch he would say he was busy, but if you called him to come over around midnight, he was already on his way. He gave you just enough love to hope for more, but never enough to feel whole. Never enough for it to feel like more than an infrequent fling of opportunity.

He calls you when he is lonely, on his way home from the bar with his friends who all get to go home to their girlfriends. You think he calls you because there is a chance that maybe one day you'll be the girl he comes home to every night. But then you wake up the next morning to an empty bed and no scent of coffee brewing. You knew it was too good to be true, yet you will never decline his 2 a.m. phone calls.

If he doesn't text you in the afternoon to see how your day is going, it isn't because he is busy. I'm sorry to say this, but it's probably because he doesn't care. You only exist to him when it is on his own time, yet he exists to you in every moment. Do you see how wrong that is? Why would you settle for someone who only gives you 20% when you can enjoy your life and wait for someone who will give you the full 100%?

If he doesn't want all of you then you should want none of him. You shouldn't want him in the middle of the night when the blankets aren't warm enough, or in the middle of the day when you're having lunch with your friends. You shouldn't want him at all, yet you do.

I hope that soon enough something ignites inside of you and you realize that you are too good to be a second option. You are too special to be somebody's back up plan. You are good enough for the real thing.

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.
