It's Time To Stop Chasing Him And Be Content With Walking In Your Own Direction

"No matter how much you want things to be different, they're not. Love yourself and move on."

It's Time To Stop Chasing Him And Be Content With Walking In Your Own Direction

Many of us have that one person who walked away, but don't confuse the one who walked away with the one who got away. They're two totally different things. As much as we don't want to admit it, it's true. The person who really wanted to be with you wouldn't have walked away from the relationship, and you know it. You can deny, deny, deny that this person hurt you but you know it's true.

Not everyone has the same heart as you. Not everyone is worth your love, or worse, your pain.

You can make excuses and run from the truth, but in the end, the only person that hurts about the situation is you.

There's going to be that one person who we would do anything to change our fate with, but at the end of the day we can't. It hurts, and it hurts so much we feel like we can't stand it for another second — like we can't breathe without this person in our life — but we have to forget that feeling and move on from them. No matter how much we try and convince ourselves that things were supposed to be different, the person we're sitting around crying ourselves to sleep over has already moved on. Without us.

Yes, it is one of the worst feelings in the world when the person you feel so strongly for wakes up and decides they just simply do not love you anymore, but unfortunately, that's what happens quite often. And, that's life. At the end of the day, you deserve someone so much better. You deserve someone who will fight for you — fight to be with you — as much as you fight for him or her.

But until you do find that special person who will love you with everything he or she has, you have to try and love yourself. Love yourself enough to move on, but most importantly, love yourself enough to know deep down that you do deserve better. It's probably one of the hardest things in this world to do, but if you don't practice self-love, you'll continue on the vicious cycle of obsession and depression over someone who doesn't want to be with you anymore.

It sucks, and I'm not going to lie and say it doesn't, but in the end you'll come out a stronger person for it. He/she doesn't deserve your love. Stop chasing and turn your attention inward. Your future self thanks you for it.

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.
