It's OK That He Didn't Fight For You

"If a person is unable to see what makes you special, what makes you beautiful, and the aspects that you have to pursue a future with, then let them go."

It's OK That He Didn't Fight For You

It's true that nobody wants to leave a relationship without fighting for it first, and that's OK. What's not OK, though, is letting yourself stay with someone who isn't willing to fight back for you. Every girl dreams of having the perfect relationship, but sometimes it doesn't work out like that. We have to go through trial and error to get our relationship to that point, but the sad thing about getting to that point is finding someone who will follow you every step of the way until you reach that destination.

The tricky thing about finding someone to share your life with is finding someone who puts in the same amount of effort as you do because it sadly doesn't work if both of your effort isn't given. It's hard when you finally figure out that the person you love isn't willing to fight for you. It's hard to finally realize that all of the nights that you spent together, the long car rides that you spent getting lost on, the short kisses during red lights, holidays together, and simply hearing him say "I love you" are now all over. You can't seem to fathom the end of you and him but what we all need to realize is that keeping someone around who isn't willing to fight to keep the relationship between the two of you is simply a bad choice for you and will only pull you backwards in the end.

What do you do when it's time to let go of all of those beautiful moments? How do you let him go? First, you have to realize that he isn't a part of your future, he is only a part of your history now. Stop fighting for him the moment you feel you can stand on your own. Stop fighting the moment you picture yourself without him and the moment you picture how your life would be without him. Stop fighting the moment you feel you can smile and be happy without him beside you.

In reality, I know that nothing anybody says to you can mend the broken heart that he has given you and it's going to take some time for you to heal, but it will eventually be OK; you will be OK. Something advice that you need to know is to stop fighting for the relationship that brings you nothing but heartache. If a person is unable to see what makes you special, what makes you beautiful, and the aspects that you have to pursue a future with, then let them go. They aren't worth the time you are willing to give.

There is someone out there for everyone and you will find that person. Not the person you want, but the person that you need and who needs you just as much. Someone who looks forward to a future with you every single day. Someone who appreciated every little detail about you. Don't keep trying to make something work if you know it needs to be in the past. Any person who isn't willing to fight for you, isn't deserving of the fight you will put up for them.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
