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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
