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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
