It's blessing and a curse.

To The Girl Who Always Loves Harder, It's Time To Love Yourself First

You are the one who puts your all into someone. You will support and love them constantly. You will believe in them with your whole heart. You will devote and give all of your time and effort to this person and will endlessly put them before yourself. You begin to care about and love them more than you care about and love yourself, but it is OK because they mean that much to you.

When you love, you love hard and when you are in, you are all in.

This person is your person, and you will do anything to keep them happy and keep them in your life. You can't help it — this is just who you are. You know that the further in you are the harder you will fall and the more it will hurt, but your heart is so big and you give everything for love.

And what do you get in return? You get manipulation and heartbreak.

You end up hurt because they see your loyalty and kindness, and they take advantage of it. They are not as far in as you, so it is easier for them to walk away and there you stand blaming yourself because you gave them too much and you trusted too much. You trust that everyone has the same heart as you and everyone treats love the same as you and the truth is that's just not true.

Because you can give someone everything and they will play you with their words and turn their back on you because you just love harder.

So maybe try to love yourself harder because, in the end, you deserve it.

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.

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.

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.
