Advice For The New Girlfriend
Brickhousechick

He's moved on and after many months, I feel as if I have too. When I found out he had moved on, I honestly was surprised in myself for not feeling any hatred. I felt a sense of happiness -- actual happiness. I am happy that he is happy because he deserves the best. He was the right person, but we met at the wrong time. We were both too young and had so much more to learn. While we were together, I learned so much about him, what makes him excited, what ticks him off and exactly how he loves. We had so many plans together, an entire future planned out, but sadly that all came to an end. Our relationship failed and though it is sad, he has moved on, he will find another girl, and I just ask of you to love him with everything you have inside.

He's not an easy guy to love. In fact, it was a challenge towards the end. He shows emotions, but he hardly shows anger. He doesn't express himself as much as he should, but he knows this and he will work on it. He dips like crazy (literally any moment he can have, he will pack a lip). Don't let this get to you, it's just a habit he has. He's a great football player, so support him any chance you get because this is his last year of high school and he'll love to see you there. Most importantly, he'll make you feel beautiful, even when you think you're not. Don't push him to do things he doesn't want to, trust me it'll never work out good. Don't get frustrated when he gets mad because you want to continue taking pictures, he's just a guy. Most of all, don't get mad at him when he wants to go out with the boys. He always has time for you, but sometimes he needs guy time.

Meet his parents the first chance you get.

Unfortunately, I did not meet his parents until we had dated for four months and I deeply regret it. His parents will accept you with open arms and will love you just as much. I am thankful that to this day, I can go up to them and give them a hug, then proceed to go my own way. They are funny, sincere and all-around amazing people to be around. You will love them.

This doesn't mean that when I see you two in public, I will rejoice with happiness. It'll sting, yet that's just the way life works. Don't worry about me, we had our time, and although that time is over, he has learned a lot. He won't love you the way he loved me, but he will love you better. Treasure the time you have with him and don't give up on him. Whatever you do, don't take him for granted. He is so worth it. He's amazing, one-of-a kind, funny, and stupid all in one. After a year of still holding onto him, wishing we could work things out, I am glad to say I have let go. I have let go for you to hold on. It's your time to shine.

Love him with your best, he deserves it and you will receive nothing less.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
