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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
