A Man Who Loves You

I’m not searching for my other half.

A Man Who Loves You

I’m not searching for my other half because I am not a half.

“I need to find the person who completes me,” is a thought process that will deteriorate you. Live your life aggressively, and someday, the right person will fall into your life. You will be sure that he is the one because this will be a man who loves you.

A man who loves you will love someone else so much more. A man who loves you will prioritize God before you. He will pray to Him and thank Him for the good days with you and ask for guidance on the bad days. He will follow in God’s ways.

A man who loves you will trust you. It is as simple as that. He will know that you have good intentions and won’t doubt you when you say that you are loyal to him. This is not a statement that will need to be reiterated because he believes you.

A man who loves you will respect your family and friends. He will work hard to gain their approval. Once he has it, he will do everything in his power to keep it. He will show to them that he is good to you and will grow strong relationships with them not for your sake, but because these are the people that have shaped you.

A man who loves you will encourage you to pursue your dreams. He will encourage you to do the things you love and to do them often. He will support you even when your dreams do not align with his. A good man will not hold you back. He will push you to do more and be more.

A man who loves you will not leave when the going gets tough. He will not pick fights. He will work hard to make sure that the relationship is happy and healthy. When things get hard in your life, he will be there to listen and help you. He will not take out his bad days on you, instead, he will seek your comfort.

A man who loves you will make you a better person. He will be kind and generous to others. He will inspire you to do the same and to treat everyone with respect. He will prove to you that he has a good heart and one that inspires you to be the best version of yourself.

A man who loves you will prove to you every day that he does. By his actions and words, this will be not a question but rather a fact.

Never diminish your self-worth for someone who makes you feel like a half because you, my friend, are most definitely a whole.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander.

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
