They Don't Deserve To Be In Your Life

Realize that you're better off without them.

They Don't Deserve To Be In Your Life
Ana Santos

There will be many people who come into your life for all the wrong reasons, and they will destroy you if you're not wise enough to know that they shouldn't be part of your existence anyway. It's all up to you to recognize these toxic people and not allow them to make you feel any less than what you are, and what you deserve. They will try to belittle you, your dreams and your goals because they are insecure and unsure with the person they are themselves. They will not motivate you or encourage you to be the best you can be because they are actually secretly hoping for your downfall all the while. They will do you wrong, then deny the fact that they did such a thing, and will even justify it to no end because they will never be able to admit when they're wrong. To them, it must always be your fault and if you're not strong enough, they can even make you believe it too.

Your life begins the moment you come up with an answer to these two questions; what kind of life do I want to live and who do I want to be? If you aspire to live a successful life full of joy and happiness, then you need stop allowing this kind of negativity from these kinds of people, into your life. They have no business tearing you down. They have no business interfering with your plan, your goals- cut them off. Love yourself enough to let them go; realize your self-worth and how you don't deserve what they are giving you. You will feel as if you lost eighty pounds of dead weight after you have, and you'll feel capable of doing anything you put your mind to.

Who do you want to be? If you want to be a good person who has not become bitter over the fact that someone has made you such, cut that person off. If you want to live happily and successfully, you need to let this person go willfully or such a thing will not be possible. It will be an uphill battle and they will do nothing, but drag you down to the level they feel they're stuck at. You'll never grow, you'll never accomplish all that you want to all because they say so. You'll feel horrible about yourself all because you might be afraid to lose that person, but why? It doesn't matter how long you've known them. They have done nothing to show you that they're afraid of losing you. You simply have to consider yourself, and being selfish in this situation is a good thing; a great thing.

And you don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to explain why you don't want to be involved with them anymore and why you don't want them in your life because odds are, they already know. They just refuse to admit they were wrong and refuse to apologize, but that's okay because now you know they were never meant to be apart of your life anyway, that they never deserved to be there in the first place.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
