If He Wanted To, He Would've

When Letting Go Is the Best You Can Do

If He Wanted to, He Would’ve

You may take the time to get to know someone, and you just might fall for them. Sometimes, though, we don’t see the full picture. We don’t see how easily they’ll let us go after they say they love us….

If he wanted to, he would’ve spent time with you.

He sees his friends every weekend, it won’t kill him to spend one day with you.

If he wanted to, he would’ve asked you what was wrong when he knew you were down.

He asks, but then, he changes the subject because he doesn’t want to listen to you cry.

If he wanted to, he would’ve told his friends any other weekend but this one.

Instead, he made up an excuse only to get your hopes up and go do something else.

If he wanted to, he would’ve told them he had something else planned first.

But he didn’t, and now you’re hurt. Yet again, you’re going to tell everyone “It’s okay he said he’d make it up to me.”

If he wanted to, he would’ve taken the call another time when you were talking to him about something important

When you thought you had maybe an hour with him to yourself just to talk, he answers his phone and talks for ten minutes straight while you sit there and wonder when it’ll ever get better.

If he wanted to, he would’ve reassured you that you were the only girl for him

He makes you question if he even wants to be with you, and it shouldn’t be this way.

If he wanted to, he would’ve told you were beautiful once…just once…

You send him countless “selfies” and pictures, but he never acknowledges how you fixed your hair or dressed up just for him.

If he wanted to, he would’ve given up something that was controlling his life

He chose that habit over you, and it constantly takes up his time and he pushes you to the back burner.

If he wanted to, he would’ve gotten control of his problems

He wouldn’t let them control his life, and he wouldn’t let it come between the two of you.

If he wanted to, he would’ve told you “I love you” just one more time

He would’ve realized you were almost gone, and he would’ve made it known he still wanted you. He would have tried his hardest to make you stay and work through. He would have saved what was left and mend what was broken.

If he wanted to, he would’ve never let you go…….

But he did, and now he has to live his life thinking of what would’ve been.

I know you want to make excuses for him, but you need to realize that if he wanted you, he wouldn’t take you for granted. The best thing you can do is let it go. Sometimes, it is just better to let go because you finally realize he had the chance...he just didn't take it.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
