It's Hard To Love

Loving someone who doesn't love you back is the worst emotional pain.

It's Hard To Love

Falling in and out of love is a roller coaster. Some breakups are easier than others. But loving someone will never come easy. It's hard to give your self up to one person not knowing if they're going to be who they say they are. It's even harder loving someone who doesn't love you back. Letting them go is worse than all the pain they caused you.

When you love someone, you put them before yourself. You put their happiness before yours. You give everything you have to them, and for what? Sometimes, it all just gets thrown back in your face. While, other times, it's true and they reciprocate everything back to you.

Falling in love is a scary and dangerous road. It's difficult to even know what love is. But when you allow yourself to be so miserable just to please that person and allow them to continually, intentionally hurt you, that's when you know you truly love someone.

What hurts the most is loving someone who doesn't love you back and has no intention to. They watch you as you give them every piece of you, while only caring about the attention that you are giving to them. But because you love them, you jump at any favor they ask of you and give them all the attention they want just to be part of their life, even if that means allowing them to break you to pieces and watch you burn to ashes.

Love is hard. It takes time and energy. It is so important to know when to walk away because you deserve more than what they are giving you. If they don't live for the Lord, then they don't need to be part of your life. Your self-worth is important. And it's important for you to know that.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
