It's a cycle. He does something wrong that leaves your heart shattered, you cry, and then you forgive him, and it all begins again. Every single time he crushes you, you come back to him, so it happens time and again. I know you don't enjoy the pain so why do you come back to it?

You tell yourself it's love and that justifies it in your mind. If only you could see clearly. Open your eyes.

If a man treats you with anything less than respect on multiple occasions, it's time to pack your stuff up and leave because no amount of abuse can be worth the supposed love he gives you in return. We're told that we only get one true love in our lives, so we think that the stuff he's doing that hurts us is okay because you won't find anything better. Or maybe you tell yourself that everyone goes through this and you need to suck it up.

No, you don't. Sweetie, c'mon. Pick yourself up and start seeing things clearly. You may love him, but do you feel your love is returned?

It's time to admit that you've run out of excuses and start seeing things for as they are. See him as the guy who keeps betraying your trust and taking you for granted. Look for someone who isn't dumb enough to make the mistakes he's making.

He isn't the one. He has some growing up to do and while he's fixing his problems, you need to find better horizons and give yourself only the best.

Stop making excuses and stop hiding the pain. You need to move on from him because he doesn't deserve you. Women having given men too many chances in the past and have let them get away with abuse and neglect. They've reached their limit. Don't fall into that category. Change your fate.

Say no more.We've got your back.

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.
