No, It Has Never Been YOU

I don't know what it is you're believing in, but it sure isn't the truth.

No, It Has Never Been YOU
Faith McDonald

You know how they say, "It's you, it's always been you," well I hate to break it to you dear, but it has NEVER been you. You had his attention for a split second, and I don't know what it is you're believing in, but it sure isn't the truth.

You may think about him, but I can promise you he isn't thinking about you. I know you wait by the phone for a call, a text, anything, but doesn't the waiting get exhausting? Nothing is going to come, I can promise you that. You have some old text messages, while I've got a ring.

Anything you thought you were, was a lie. I could never imagine wanting to be someone's secret something, so I really do pity you for longing for that life. But no matter how sad it is, it isn't going to change until you move on.

You're gorgeous, I'll admit it. You could probably have any man you tried for, the issue though is you want what's MINE and that's the one thing you're not going to get. To quote Mrs. Loretta Lynn, "You ain't woman enough to take my man."

So while you're sitting around waiting for MY future to choose you, he's laying next to me, explaining how little you matter to him. He may have done a double take when he saw you, but I'm the one who has his heart. Move on, find your own happiness, it's out there I promise, but it isn't with the man whose ring I'm wearing.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
