Stop Dwelling On Something That Could Have Been

Boys will be boys.

Stop Dwelling On Something That Could Have Been
Carolina Auer

There are so many boys out there, don’t let ONE break your heart and ruin love for you forever. I have always been told “what is meant to be, will be.” I’ve had a hard time believing that for so long because my parents are divorced and as for me, things with boys don’t seem to work out but I have realized that I am perfectly okay with that. So I’ve never really experienced what is meant to be, will be. Heartbreak after heartbreak, I have finally become the confident girl I have always aspired to be.

Here are my constant reminders of why I will not dwell on what could have been:

1. Boys will be boys

Keyword boys. If someone breaks your heart, remember he is just a boy, you are in search of a man. Don’t look back.


2. It took my mother 9 months to form my heart so why would I let some boy break it in 15 seconds?

Our hearts are fragile and I know my mom raised me better than to let some dumb boy break my heart in such a short time. I am stronger than that.


3. Boys are not all the same give them a chance

Yes, I know the last six boys have broke your heart. Girl, I feel you. You start to feel like it is always you. You feel like you weren’t good enough. You start thinking about all the things you are going to change about yourself. But it wasn’t you. YOU are good enough. There is not a thing to change. I realize how these boys have made us feel. As soon as you become vulnerable with them they leave. But believe me when I say there are good ones out there. One day someone will come along and you will know. You will know this is exactly what you have been waiting for. You will finally understand why no other relationship has worked out. Believe me because I know how you feel right now. I am right there with you. But I’ve seen it and I can’t wait to be as happy as the people I know are some day.


4. You are worth more

When did we start letting a boy dictate our happiness? YOU are your own source of happiness. So smile. Boys come and go.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
