5 Reasons Why You Are Better Without Them

Friends and boyfriends / girlfriends are a huge part of life. Without them, many lessons pertaining to love, loyalty and other friend qualities would not be learned. However, friends and boyfriends sometimes do not say in your life. In fact, certain relationships can even be toxic. It is super important to know when to call it quits when it comes to relationships with anyone.

When you do call it quits, it will hurt. When a friend stops wanting to be your friend it will sting. If you and your significant other split, the pain will be severe. However, there are so many reasons why you are better off without them.

1. They probably did not appreciate you.

Chances are if they walked out of your life or vice versa, they didn't realize what they had. You are the type of person who would do anything for the people you care about, but they did not see this until it was too late. You deserve someone who sees all of your amazing qualities and someone who appreciates all you do for them. I promise you that it will come.

2. They brought you down.

If your friend makes you feel like shit, then they aren't your real friends. Friends are supposed to support you and build you up. (This doesn't mean they should glorify things or not tell you when they disagree.) Don't forget that friends aren't supposed to critic and judge everything you do. That is not their job.

3. They never paid their share.

These people are known as "moochers." They never pay at meals or for anything, they always leave it up to you. They say that they will pay you back but it never happens. Cut those people out of your life. They will drive you mad and not to mention broke.

4. Your parents don't like them.

This is a crucial sign into whether you should keep them as a friend or significant other. Parents are usually a good judge of character. If they don't like your friend or boyfriend / girlfriend, then chances are things won't work out. Parents have a huge impact on how we live our lives. I mean they did bring you into this world after all. Try to trust their judgement for the most part.

5. All you do is get wasted together.

People have fun together in different ways, I get drinking is fun, but if that is all you guys do there is nothing positive about that. They probably don't directly pressure you, but their presence does. There are plenty of other ways to have fun and create a bond. If all you do is get high or drunk, then that is just a self destructive relationship and you need to get rid of it.

I hope this helped you guys see why certain people are not worth all the effort, and why they aren't worth you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
