Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You Back

Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You Back

Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is honestly the best way to destroy yourself. I’ve been in love before. It’s beautiful. If you are anything like me, you love with every fiber of your being. You love deeply, and if you give someone your heart it’s a big deal. Giving someone your heart is a risk. There are many things that can go wrong, trust can be broken, people can go different ways in their lives, or they can simply just decide that they just don’t love you anymore…

When someone decides that they don’t love you anymore something inside you shatters. You start questioning your whole relationship that you had with that person. “Did they ever really love me?” “Was it all just fake?” “Is there something wrong with me?” “Did I drive them away?” but let me tell you something nothing is wrong with you. People change. Sometimes they just decide that they just don’t want to share their lives with certain people anymore, and that sucks, it truly does.

When someone decides that they just don’t love you anymore, it hurts you in a way that is unexplainable. But you need to use that pain that they have caused you to build a fire in your soul and make a life for you. You need to go after your dreams and as you slowly begin to heal and find yourself, then God will provide someone for you.

When that person walks out of your life, it doesn’t mean that your love for them goes with them. You have to fight daily to not think about them, to not call them, to not drive by their house. I personally think it’s one of the hardest fights you will face. But through this fight, you will find yourself. Through the darkness, you will be forced to find your own way out, on your own, and it will transform you into a person that you won’t recognize. You have the choice on who this person becomes, you will either love this unrecognizable person or you will hate who you become.

You have a choice on who you become in the end, and you have to live with the person that you chose for the rest of your life. You can go through this battle with the attitude that God hates you, and that he put you through all of this because he enjoys watching you fail, or you can decide to be happy and know that God would never give you something you can’t handle. He is just preparing you for your future. He wants you to be ready. He wants you to have someone who will love you at all times, who would never leave you. Who is, though you can’t imagine it at this time, so much better than the person that doesn’t love you back.

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.
