Don't Give Up On The Person You Love

Love is not about running away and giving up.

Nothing about love is logical. It changes your thinking. The only thing that makes sense is your feelings towards the person you love. Love comes without rules or any guidelines to follow because once you fall everything else is out of your control.

Suddenly nothing else in the world matters. You would do anything to be with them, even if that means getting hurt along the way. You do anything to make them happy.

There will be people that don't like the person you love. They will tell you how you deserve better. They will tell you there are "other fish in the sea", but you don't want anyone else. No one knows how you feel about this person, and no one's opinion matters. That's why every single time you give someone advice, you say to yourself, "Man, I should listen to myself more often." When you see two people that are in love from the outside, you see something that they don't see. You see the imperfections of the person. Love is blinding. You look past all of the person imperfections and love them for who they are.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. When your heart is in it, that's what you follow, no matter how crazy it might seem. Follow your heart.

If you love someone, if you can’t stop thinking about them, don’t give up on them. Keep trying. Keep giving your best.

You don't give up on the person you love. No matter how hard it is to be with them, or the obstacles you have to face, if you really love someone, you don't give up on them. I know it's tiring. I know that you spend sleepless nights wondering if it's all worth it. It is worth it. Don't forget that.

Good things don’t come by often and when they do, they rarely last. If you have something on your hands that you believe you can make work, that you will be happy doing every day for the rest of your life, then keep doing it. Keep being happy. Giving up doesn’t make sense.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
