I'm sure you've seen the craziness in the news about the infamous "Kissing Bandit" Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his two fiances. I know when watching the show I was thinking about all of the things I could possibly throw at the television when he chose Lauren instead of Becca K.
All in all, there are some things that we girls can take away from watching the super long finale of the "Bachelor" and watching Arie's deceit.
Heartbreak hurts. It really freaking hurts.
Becca seemed so confused and hurt by the fact that just one week ago, Arie talked about the future with her and then he up and changed his mind. It reminded me of my recent heartbreak. Nothing hurts more than being in love with someone and thinking they do too, only to find out it was all a lie.
We put a lot on the line with our hearts, and sometimes it's just not enough. Those guys who are not ready for someone to love them with everything they have, do not deserve you. Real men will be grateful for you giving them the piece of you that matters most.
Be a Becca. Or a Sienne. Or literally any of the girls on the Bachelor.
Okay so maybe except Krystal. My point is that all of the girls on the Bachelor were so independent and accomplished. Becca handled the entire situation beautifully. If I were Becca, I would have been screaming and throwing things at Arie and the cameras. He would have left the first time I asked him to.
Becca is so strong for going through this (and on national television). Always remember that you are more than just the boy you are with or the version of you that the world sees. Always know your worth girls and then add tax. No boy is worth tipping your crown over!
Girl squad forever.
Tia, Sienne, Caroline, other Bekah, and Kendall showed up on "After The Final Rose" and supported their friend through and through. Those girls I am sure were there to take Becca out, comfort her and listen to her as she went through this whole ordeal.
It's important to always keep your girls close to your side, even during a relationship because they will there through it all. When boys change their minds, your friends will always be there for you. Whether it's to cry, or show read receipts and be petty on Instagram, it's Girl Power through and through.
You are not just a Bachelorette looking for her Bachelor.
Now that Becca is the new Bachelorette for the upcoming season, a lot of us are behind her because FINALLY, she gets her chance to find love.
We should remember though, we are more than a potential "Bachelorette" looking for her Bachelor. You are a woman of power, strength, and love who deserves to find someone who will give you the final rose every day of your life.
