Be A Priority, Not An Option

You are too good for that.

Be A Priority, Not An Option

"I don't want anything serious, I'm just having fun." Every girl has heard this line from a guy, haven't we? I mean, it seems to be the go-to line for those boys that know exactly what to say to get us girls to start to open up.

I'm talking about that guy that gives mixed signals left and right. That guy that says those sweet things one night, but doesn't talk to you for days after. That guy that calls you at night and takes another girl home when you say no.

We all know this type. We try to avoid them, but it seems absolutely impossible. These are the guys that assume every girl they meet wants a relationship when in reality, all the girl wants is a guy around who knows how to respect her.

These guys know how to get a girl where they want her. They tell her what she wants to hear so she'll come around when they want her, but he throws her aside when he finds someone new. You have been that girl. We all have. You start to feel worthless. You feel used. You feel hurt and confused. Why did I open up? Why did I let myself care?

Well, guess what? It's not your fault. It's not your fault that you cared about him. That's what happens when you have a sweet soul. Don't be down on yourself for that. It's okay to feel hurt and confused. It's okay to be angry, but you can't blame it on yourself. It's his problem, not yours.

He is the one who thinks it's okay to have a different girl with him every night. He's the one that thinks it's okay to lead you on just so he has you as an option. Don't be an option for him. If he is that pathetic, you don't need him anyways. He is not a man and by the path he's on, he never will be.

I know you want to see the best in him. You want to remember the good nights when he seemed different than the rest. When you're upset and wonder which girl he's with, think about the nights he upset you. Let that be a reminder that you deserve better. You deserve a man, not a boy.

You deserve a man that respects you. A man that makes you a priority, not an option. You should never be just another girl he could call. You should never be a girl he only comes to when he wants something. You should be the girl he adores. The girl he shows effort to. The girl he treats like a prize.

You are too good for that loser boy that makes you wonder if you are good enough. You are too smart, too beautiful and too valuable to be thrown around by a pathetic boy who doesn't know what he wants.

You should be a priority, not an option. You should always feel valuable and respected. You deserve that. You deserve the world. Love yourself enough to know that. Love yourself enough to be happy without a boy.

Wait for a man that doesn't make you question your worth. Wait to be a priority, not just another option.

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.
