Don't Be A Second Choice

You're perfect to me

Don't Be A Second Choice
gygb.com

We've all been in a situation in our lives where we've felt like we were a second choice. For a job, a relationship, even a friendship. But there's always a girl that feels like that all the time - no matter how hard she tries, no matter what she does, there is ALWAYS something or someone better. This is for you.

You're aware of what is happening. You are sitting there with your phone on the table, waiting for the text that won't come to your phone. You have done the thing that people have warned you not to do. You have all your hope and desires for that one person. You never thought you would be waiting.

I believe something indescribable happens when we fall for someone. It feels like we are actually falling and losing our grasp on everything and everyone around us. We always talk about how love can make someone crazy, and it definitely can. And if this person that you are falling for puts you as a second choice, it can tear you up inside.

When we allow this to happen, we are just letting someone dictate your worth. And trust me when I say, I completely understand. There can be times when we let love repress us so much that we are willing to let bad things happen. For example, when someone is in an abusive relationship. The person that is being abused is blindsided because the can't accept the fact that the person they love would do such a terrible thing.

But you deserve someone who feels the fire for you like you do for them. It's not enough being the understudy just waiting for your moment to shine. Even when you do such an amazing job of convincing yourself that everything is just fine but in reality it's not. You need to know your worth and know that your perfect match is out there. They will love you unconditionally no matter what.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
