Love isn't one sided.

Love isn't all about sex.

Love isn't only existent sometimes, or only when you need me to lean on.

Thank you for showing me everything that I didn't deserve.I didn't deserve to only be acknowledged after 11 pm. I didn't deserve to only be 'your girl' at night. Not once did you try to see me during the day. you'd say things about taking me out but you never made that happen. I wish I had realized that you telling me you loved me wasn't enough. you took a year from me. a whole year that I could've been focusing on a million other things. instead I spent a year thinking and hoping that one days things between us would be better, that we'd make it to something long term. Maybe you did too when you were talking about living together. But then suddenly you "aren't what i deserve". You were right. I didn't deserve to constantly worry about you and what you were doing with who. I didn't deserve to spend more time distraught and upset than happy. However, thank you. Thank you for showing me exactly what not to put up with. Thank you for showing me just what I don't deserve. Let's be honest, I deserve a lot more than you were willing to give me and I'm so much happier now that I've realized it.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
