Get Out Of That Toxic Relationship, Right Now

Being in a relationship can be the best and yet the worst thing. I asked myself these simple questions: Am I happy? Are we both putting in the same amount of effort? Am I a priority? I answered them all no. I knew it was over and I had to get out.

I was so tired of being sad all the time. I would cry myself to sleep night after night because I knew deep down I deserved better but never knew if I would ever get that. I was willing to be sad and just continue on.

I then knew that I was putting in so much more time and effort into something I was getting nothing out of. I would Snapchat and text frequently. He would respond but it would take so long. I tried to facetime and call him all the time. He would rarely ever answer and when he did he it lasted like two minutes. I always asked to do things together and was always told no or some other time.

I realized I was no longer a priority. I was now at the bottom of the importance list. I need to be shown I'm important and I matter. I could tell that I no longer was and that was the biggest wake-up call for me.

After looking into all of that I knew it was time to get out. If I didn't do it now it was going to get worse. I got out and didn't look back. It was hard to see someone's heartbreak but in the end, I'm happy. This is the one time in my life I will be selfish. I have to be happy or it will never work out.

It is never too late!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
