To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.

To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

I trusted you. Gave you my heart to protect and honor and you treated it like it was a piece of garbage. I thought you would take care of me, but you didn't.


It's so difficult to realize after all the defending I did for you, telling people you weren't a certain way, or you wouldn't do that to me. Thinking you wouldn't be the person that my peers were telling me about. It sucked finding out they were right all along.


I thought there was something worth fighting for. I thought that something romantic would happen and you would sweep me off my feet. But there is nothing nice about having to continuously convince someone to love you.


You tortured me through everything and I was foolish enough to call it love.


You took me for granted, I thought you were the kindest and sweetest guy, that's why I let you treat me the way you did. I gave you chance after chance and didn't neglect you with anything I had. You just took it without a care in the world. Just like that.


There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.


The problem with us was you cared too little and I cared way too much. When it was killing me inside I had to play it off like I didn't care, when in reality I spent most of the time altering myself to hopefully make you like me more. I'd rather have nobody, then someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there at all.


Some people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies or long lasting. My biggest omission was thinking you had the same feeling I had for you. I think the greatest thing you ever taught me was you can give so much of yourself to someone, and it still won't be enough.


You probably still like me, you probably still don't know what you want. You probably miss me one day then say you're better off the next, but that isn't what matters. What matters is that you're not doing anything about it. I want someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want me in their life.


You only want me when it is convenient for you.


If you absolutely wanted to give me affection, then you wouldn't make me beg for it. When you realize that you actually wanted me to stay around, you'll realize you only have yourself to blame.


I am worth it. Always have been always will be.

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.
