You Deserve Better, So Don't Be That Person

When will you get tired of being treated poorly?

You Deserve Better, So Don't Be That Person
Jiri Wagner

To the person who deserves better:

You may be in denial as to why you deserve better. You may be satisfied with the way you're being treated. You may well know that you deserve better, but do not know how to get out.

How many times has someone told you they love you? How many times has someone said they will be there for you? How many times has someone said they care deeply about you?

If the answer is "a lot" then good for you, you found someone who loves you and cares. If the answer is "a little" or "never" then it is time you deserve better.

I am not one to give relationship advice simply because I have not been through it long enough to know, but I will tell you this much...you deserve to be loved unconditionally by someone who feels the same way you feel about them.

You deserve to be shown off to the world.

You deserve to laugh your butt off with the one you love.

You deserve to be taken on dates in public without your companion being ashamed.

You deserve to be taken by the hand and dance when everyone is watching.

You deserve to be respected and not treated as a secret.

You deserve to show emotion and feel intimacy.

You deserve to be supported of your dreams and goals.

You deserve to be with someone who loves your body in whatever shape it is in.

You deserve someone to go on adventures with.

You deserve someone who is always excited to see you.

You deserve someone who challenges you to be the best version of yourself.

You deserve your own freedom.

You deserve someone who accepts you for who you are.

No one...and I mean no one deserves to be treated as a dirty little secret only for the other person to feel good about themselves.

You do not deserve to be thrown away at the end of a night.

You do not deserve to be talked to in a negative way.

Don't let someone trick you into thinking they like you or want to be with you. People will tell you lies just to get what they want.

They won't care about your morals or respect you. The longer you continue for it to go on, the harder it will be. You will suffer from more internal pain than there is outward.

It will change you as a person.

People will give you advice on the situation and it is up to you to determine what you want.

When will you get tired of being treated poorly?

When is enough, enough?

Don't be that person.

Don't be that person who sits and wait for Prince Charming to ride on his white horse and save the day.

Don't be that person who believes a person will change just for you.

Don't be that person who is in denial of what is really going on.

Do not stay in a negative situation as a secret.

Overcome it.

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.
