When You Realize That You Deserve Better

What finally made me realize it

When You Realize That You Deserve Better

Wasting so much time wishing and hoping for something to happen was one of the worst things I have ever done! We are always looking for the good in people and always give them the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, it takes so much for us to finally realize what you deserve better and what you have been settling with.

A few things that make you realize it are:

1. When I realized I was sitting around for something to happen.

When someone wants you and deserves you, they won't have you waiting on them.

2. When you hear all of the things they say about you.

While you're dating, they express how much they love you and constantly remind you how great you are. Now, they suddenly have nothing but negative things to say about you. They say that they are the best thing that has ever happened to you and how you won't ever find anyone like them. Trust me honey, I will find better.

3. When you realized you never even mean't much to them.

If someone who claimed to love you and you dated for a long period time but they "move on" less than a week after you break up. They really didn't care for you as much as they said they did. It so hard to think about someone you shared so many memories and time with, moving on.

4. When you thought for a slight second that you "needed" them.

Ladies and gentlemen, we don't need anyone. We want them, that is all.

5. When they don't have the guts to tell you what they've done.

They text you and explain to you their desire to be friends with you. You're stupid (not really, you didn't know) enough to say yes because of course, you still want them in your life for some idiotic reason.

So you're friends for awhile and then you find out all of the things that he has done and all you want to do is cut them off completely. It's really not as much of what he has done, it's more that he didn't have enough respect for you to personally just tell you.

I'm not going to say girls find out everything (even though we do) because in the generation we live in, everyone finds out everything. Tell them before they find out through someone else because finding out through a second source, makes people feel even more stupid than if you would have told her yourself.


PS: Don't tell someone you'll always love them after you "moved on" with someone, four days after you broke up

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
