You Will Get The Person You Deserve
Neaha Patel

The smile I see on my best friend’s face when we’re doing physics problems made me wonder, what shortcut did she find to find the net force that I didn’t? Turns out, it’s not the net force that made her smile, but the force of another person coming into her life that always makes sure she has a smile on her face.

You get what you deserve. I’ve seen this phrase all over social media, and multiple people have even told me this. You will get what you deserve. I decided to change it up a little bit and add in, you will get the person you deserve.

We try so hard to try and find someone who makes us laugh, smile at everything, and not have to hide parts of ourselves. Looking in temporary places, filled with temporary people we desperately try to hold onto. Though I am telling you that it's time to let go of the tight hold that is doing nothing but making you wish you things were different, that makes your heart bleed out in internal pain. It’s time to let go of that temporary person in your life.

It’s time to let go of someone who is doing more damage to your life than good. You may think of reasons why they are good to you, moments in the past that have been happy, and the emptiness you don’t want to fill up again. Let it go. It will be hard, but it will be worth it. Anyone who is toxic shouldn’t have an open and granted place in your life.

You can keep telling yourself reason after reason why they should stay, but you can’t ignore the reasons why they should leave. The first one being the way they treat you, and how you treat yourself afterwards. It all stems from there, how you treat yourself, and the thoughts you manifest afterwards; that is the key factor in realizing you deserve better.

Trust me on this one. It may seem empty, you may want to try again with that person, but don’t. Don’t do that to yourself. You are more than the sporadic moments of attention given when they want to give it. You are more than the empty compliments given when they are lonely. You are more than trying to tape a broken plate together.

When you let go of a toxic person, it opens doors for someone amazing to come through. Now I know why my best friend smiles randomly when we’re doing physics. It’s not because she found a shortcut, no, it’s because she found someone who treats her like her smile is the sun he wakes up to. She let go of the toxic person who did nothing but fill her heart with empty compliments. Letting go was her biggest strength. She focused on herself, and along came someone who deserves her.

Have faith; you will get the person you deserve.

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.
