First, let me just tell you that you do not and I repeat do not need a guy or girl by your side 24/7. The main reason I am writing this is because I have seen too many people be with other people who don’t treat them like the Prince/Princess they deserve. You, my friend, even though I may not know you personally, you deserve the world. You deserve everything on this world, and no guy or girl should make you feel any different.

1. If your boyfriend or girlfriend makes you feel any less than 100% happy 100% of the time, then it is time for a change.

I don’t care if it has been days, weeks, or years. You don’t deserve that and there are too many people out there.

2. Everyone is replaceable.

Sorry, yes that’s harsh but very true. If the person doesn’t give you everything you feel you deserve (and you have told them) then it is again time for a change. There are plenty of fish in the sea; don’t be stuck wondering what it is like out in the open ocean.

3. Being alone is okay!

God knows that I have struggled with this but I am learning that it is okay to be alone. Hang out with your family; they can actually be kind of cool (believe it or not). I was the type of person to leave a guy then get a new one fairly quickly. But I never realized that I kept settling for people that did not deserve my time.

4. DON’T SETTLE! HOLY MOLY!

This kind of goes along with 3. However, you deserve too much out of life to settle for something that is not perfect. Okay, things will not always be perfect. You will get in arguments and that is okay. What is not okay is when this boy/girl makes you feel so bad about yourself that you actually get a sick feeling in your stomach. Don’t get me wrong, every relationship will have its ups and downs. However, if he or she doesn’t feel awful a few days after the argument then why are you with them? Like, seriously?! That’s messed up.

5. If you love them, then love them hard.

Don’t let them go over something silly, and definitely don’t go behind their back and talk about them.

I hope this helps most of you that are struggling with something like this. It's okay to want to talk to them a lot and see them a lot and hang out with them. Don’t believe for a second that you aren’t worthy of their time.
