You Are Worth More

"Your worth does not diminish based on whether or not someone likes you."

You Are Worth More
Chobir Dokon

Hey little soul,

You have been broken and knocked down. You have given more of yourself to people than they deserve. You have let your heart be trampled on by those who had no right to hold it. You have determined your worth based on what other people think of you or what you think other people think of you. You think that because have been hurt and abused, that you deserved it and that somehow it was your fault. You think that because you have not received the right kind of love that you are unworthy of it. Your heart aches to be desired, to be chased after, for adventure, and for a deep love. You pursue other things, other people, trying to satisfy a heart that moans. You have sought after the love you so desperately desire but your heart has been scarred from giving it to the wrong people. You believe that you are worthless and it doesn’t matter what you do.

I have some news for you.

YOU ARE WORTH MORE.

You are worth more than a friend who wasn’t as good of a friend as you thought. You are worth more than parents or grandparents who seem to never understand or accept you. You are worth more than a reckless boy who has no care for what he does with your heart.

You are worth so much more than what other people think of you.

You DESERVE more.

You deserve people who truly care about you and protect your heart as their own You deserve to have adventure and be pursued by someone who loves you not in spite of your flaws, but because of them.

Your worth does not diminish based on whether or not someone likes you. Your worth is not defined how many friends you have, your family, whether or not you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, what your grades are, or what you look like. Your with is determined solely by you, and you have to know what you are worth. You are worth a million diamonds, a million fields of roses, a million twinkly stars in the sky, and a million romantic songs wrote just for you. You might now believe me, but it is so so so so true. You are worth more than you could ever imagine and you have to know that!

You are passionately loved by the Creator of the Universe,

You are His prized possession.

You are His crowning jewel and glory.

It hurts Him to see you throwing your heart around when He is always right there beside you.

He always has an unending amount of love that never fails, unlike humans.

You are worth more. You are loved passionately. You deserve more.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
