Oh, Is It Easy

But it is not your fault.

Oh, Is It Easy
Hayley White

Oh, is it easy to feel like the girl everybody gives up on. It is easy to feel not good enough. It is easy to let the opinions of others defy you. It is easy to feel like you do everything wrong. It is easy to feel like it is all your fault. It is easy to “see” why everyone gives up on you.

But, sweet girl, do not let these feelings take over you.

These terrible things, they are not true. Those who decide to give up on you have lost something so immensely beautiful and pure. They have lost something so dear and special, something so unique and wonderful. You are a masterpiece, crafted ever so precisely. Nothing about you is a mistake, nothing about you is wrong. You were built so perfectly in the eyes of God. You are not what those people define you as.

Those who left were simply unable to hold something so precious. They were not worthy. You are a gift, a queen. No one should treat you as anything less. If they do, it is because they are too naive to realize what they have in front of them; and what they have is a strong woman, an unbreakable spirit. A girl who dreams of adventures and experiences.

You are young with the world in your hands, opportunities in your grasp. Do not let those who do not know your worth hold you back from greatness. You are more than what they have made you out to be. You are a force to be reckoned with, a statue of survival. You are incredible, sweet girl. If someone leaves, it is not your fault. It is theirs and they have made a terrible mistake. You may not see it, and they may not see it, but time will prove it. Shake the negativity from your mind, release it from your soul. This beautiful world was created for girls like you. Girls with dreams in their eyes and love in their hearts. Do not waste it on those who are unworthy of it. Do not force it onto those who are unworthy of it.

Focus on yourself, sweet girl. Learn to love your own soul first before you strive to love someone else’s. You know your worth, your mind, your soul. Love yourself. It is not your fault that people leave. It is not your fault that people give up. Do not let your heart be burdened by the mistakes of others. Do not let your soul be devastated by the words of others. You are more than good enough. You are more than the mistakes you've made, the wrongs you've done. You are good, whole, unique. You are created precisely the way you are meant to be.

Love yourself, and most importantly, never give up on yourself.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
