An Open Letter To The Boy Who Isn't Ready

You’re reading this right now because I’ve called you out, the boy who has said, “I’m not ready for a relationship…” Well I am here to tell you, if you make her wait forever, she will not be there, the girl who is worth it will not wait forever, even if she claims she will.

In the past, she was always the one that wasn’t ready. She would leave and you always looked for a band-aid at a party or in your phone that would get you through the night. Now she’s finally ready and you are not. She is ready to take the next step and that terrifies you for many valid reasons. You are screwed up from your previous relationship, well aren’t we all? You know this would be real, so before you decide to make her wait and take the risk of her leaving for someone who is ready, or pull the plug out of fear of love I want you to think about a few things.

Would seeing her dance in another man’s arm make you want to punch out glass? Will you go crazy if you see her car? Can you make it through the night thinking about another man laying next to her, and holding her close? Can you imagine her not being in your life? If you can’t make it through these things, then you need to get your shit together before another man does.

You know she’s beautiful and when she walks into a room, men are staring straight at her. She has a smile that will light up the room and a personality that welcomes anyone in. You’ve seen it, guys walk straight up to her, made comments about taking a chance at her and you have had to fight them off. You know she could have any man in the room if she chose to, but she has chosen you. You have told all your friends who ask that you will eventually end up dating her when it’s the right time. They ask if you love her and you can’t lie, so you say yes. You know that girl cares more about you than any girl ever could; she has done more for you than she should because of how great she thinks you are.

The girl that is in your mind right now is there for a reason. You know she is worthwhile and anyone would be lucky to have her, you don’t even think you deserve her but guess what she still wants you. So if you can’t imagine her not being around, do something about it. Make sure she knows how much you care about her. Make that girl yours before another man does.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
