When You Love the Wrong Person

You spent your time and your emotions trying to make someone happy who couldn't be helped, couldn't be pleased.

When You Love the Wrong Person

You loved the wrong person. Everyone has. Each and every human has poured too much into someone who cared too little.

SEE ALSO:I'm Happy He Cheated

Maybe it was the boy you fell in love with in high school who spent his time playing with your heart when he should have been guarding it.

Maybe it was the girl who strung you along and used your time and resources when all you wanted was to care for her.

Maybe it was the dad you spent years trying to make proud, trying to show that you were worth something more.

Maybe it was a friend who spent your friendship lying to you and manipulating you.

Whoever they were, they were wrong for you, and you loved them regardless. You couldn't help it. You spent your time and your emotions trying to make someone happy who couldn't be helped, couldn't be pleased.

It didn't matter for you though, because you found joy in seeking joy for others. You found peace in showing love to someone who made it so difficult to show that.

However, amidst that joy and peace, you found pain in not being loved well in return.

But how much more beautiful will it be when you love the right person? How much more satisfying will it be when you love the person who will love you back? I'm not just speaking romantically. I'm speaking about the friendships, family, and love you will find in the people who are right for you.

This time spent on those who didn't return your care wasn't wasted. It isn't useless. You learned the meaning of unconditional love. This is a gift, and it cannot be wasted.

Give your fears and your struggles to God, give your pain and inability to trust to the Lord. Know that He is above all and that He has the ability to bring the right people into your life. Trust that he will.

So until the right people come along, love fiercely, for your love has the ability to change lives, including your own.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
