An Open Letter To Cheaters

You suck!

An Open Letter To Cheaters
Mark Manson

Dear Cheaters,

Why? Please explain to me because I honestly don’t understand. I try to make excuses for you; I just can’t wrap my mind around why? Why can’t you just break up with her? Why do you have to go around breaking hearts? If you don’t love her anymore, let her go. Why shove a girl through the whole process of thinking she isn’t good enough for you? She is. You’re just too slimy and disgusting to face the facts. If you don’t want her: let her go. It really isn’t that complicated. If you don't care enough to be faithful, you shouldn't have a problem with breaking up with her. Let her go.

Do we not have standards anymore? I just don't understand it, if you don't love her enough to be faithful, why are you with her? That could be you. She could sneak behind your back with another boy. She could trick you into falling in love just for the fun of watching you fall apart. Heartbreaker.

Do you think you'll get away with it? Do you honestly believe she won't find out? You probably weren't think of her when you started. You were probably thinking of — no, you probably weren't thinking. You thought one kiss wouldn't hurt anyone. You thought one night out wouldn't mean a thing. It does. You know deep in your heart she doesn't deserve that. You know she would never do that to you. You knew, and you took advantage of love. They say love is pain, but really love is beautiful. You were the one to make love painful.

Love should be flowers on a Sunday morning. Love should be valuing your partner over everyone else (like the hot waitress at the Hooters). Love should be faithful actions instead of meaningless words. As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said, "love is when the other person's happiness more important than your own," (like being home for dinner instead of hitting up your side chick). Love is loyalty through good and bad times.

Love isn't sneaking around. Love isn't lying. Love isn't disloyal. Love doesn't give you the excuse to break someone into little pieces to step on and crush with your selfish ego. Love isn't perfect, but it does accept a person's imperfections and remains faithful.

Don't be a heartbreaker. Don't take advantage of love; Cheaters never win. Let lovers marvel at it's beauty. The bottom line is: be a good person. Do what is right. I know you have a brain. Use it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
