To My Best Friend In A Toxic Relationship

No one is ever, "not good enough."

To My Best Friend In A Toxic Relationship
Sooper Mommy

This is strictly for my best friend. However, this can apply to almost anyone. Why? Because a mass majority of us all know what it is like to be in a toxic relationship. It's not fair, and it isn't right: but we know what it is like. I will never understand or comprehend why some relationships are so cruel. It isn't fair that almost all of us know what it's like to be cheated on and feel emotionally exhausted. However, we learn from these immature, stupid human beings who lack empathy. No one should ever have to endure such cruelty, and above all, neither should my best friend.

We, as in every human who has been bullied by their relationship, get it. Here we spend so much time invested in a single human being: a single soul. We push ourselves to believe that they do, deep down, care about us and our feelings. We search for the best in people, and that isn't necessarily a downfall. We wants what's best for them. That's why at the end of the day when you are sitting at home, crying... you believe it's your fault. It's not.

We understand how hard it is to let go. The process after a breakup is rough. It involves pretending you don't care and that you aren't hurt. It means desperately trying to shove the memories you have together in the back of your head. It's a day by day process and it sucks.

I can state the obvious: you're my best friend. You are unbelievably beautiful, smart and kind. You do not deserve a toxic relationship. You do not deserve the emotional abuse. I don't want you sitting at home, alone crying. I don't want you questioning where he is, or who he is with. Most of all, I do not want you to ever ask yourself why you are not good enough. That's bullshit. No one is ever, in this world, not "good enough." We have all asked ourselves this once or twice, and we shouldn't. We are good enough, and as everyone says, we just need the right person.

I don't know personally, if I believe that one day I am going to find the man of my dreams. I don't know if I believe in love at first sight. I don't know what I believe about love in general, which is how all of us feel after fighting through a toxic relationship. I do know, however, that if there is some type of unbreakable love worth fighting over, you deserve that kind of love: not this. I want you to know your worth. I do not want you to question it because one stranger you decided to let into your life with open arms, told you so. They only have that power if you give it to them, obviously.

Overall, the one love I wish for you is that you are always happy, and content. That you never have to doubt him and that you can trust him: at the least, that he will always reassure you. I only want what's best for you. I'll wait with you till your ready to move on, and I will be there when you do. It's hard, but you're tough. That's why you are my best friend.

Unfortunately, a lot of people know exactly what I am talking about. A lot of us have told our best friends these exact words, but there is no harm in reiterating your worth. I will tell you everyday that you deserve better if you need me to.

You're my best friend, and as we always tell each other... you deserve the world. Not this.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.
