To The Girl Who Got Ghosted

So you were talking to a new guy. Probably matched on Tinder or Bumble, right? Or if not, you met him in the basement of a frat house last weekend. And all of a sudden, he stops answering your texts and your snaps.

Here's the deal: don't let it get to you.

Now, as a girl who's been ghosted, trust me I know that's not always an easy pill to smile. He was a good kisser, he sent you sweet messages, he was hot, the list goes on and on.

But the truth of the matter is this: some guys will just use you and lose you. They'll get what they need to...hold them over for the time being.

Why would you let something like that get to you? Sure, be bummed out that it didn't work out. But don't dwell on it for days. It obviously wasn't meant to be. That doesn't invalidate whatever time you did spend together or whatever experiences you shared.

He came into your life, he left a mark, and he left. You live, you learn, and you continue on with your life.

This isn't a matter of whether or not hook-up culture is your thing. It's just a matter of recognizing your self-worth. Just because you were ghosted doesn't mean you're worth any less. It doesn't change who you are.

Getting ghosted does not reflect in any way on what you have to offer.

So next time he stops answering, use your discretion. Don't keep asking yourself, "What if?" You want and deserve someone who will make you their priority. So don't settle for anything less.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
