To The One Who Said I'm Not The One

If you are wondering if this is about you, you are probably right.

I wish I knew who did this amazing inspirational art, but thank you!

There's a handful of you currently walking around somewhere on this universe that has once in the past been an absolutely huge part of my life whether it was for a couple months or a couple years. When I was with you, I felt at my highest which was probably the lowest thing I could've ever felt. I let you define myself by the way you touched my hand and not by the way you touched me. I'm not here to say that I was always right and that I was a victim because you found ways to make me happy when there were days I never felt it to be possible Even if it was temporary and things never ended up the way I or we wanted them to at the time, you helped me learn more about myself. I got to experience things with you that I probably never experienced with another person. You helped me learn what I wanted out of a relationship. You made me realize that I would rather wait for a love that I can bring to Thanksgiving Dinner and eat off their plate as they roll their eyes in my direction while my family looks at us smiling knowing that I've finally found my person. That hasn't happened yet but I know in my heart it will with the right person.

So no, I'm not worth being something that you ponder on, I deserve a love that walks into my life and would fight anything just to cherish it. I don't deserve love that runs away out of fear of commitment. I don't deserve love that holds onto another. I don't deserve love that keeps me there because it knows I will provide for them without any expectations of it being returned. I don't deserve love that would walk a block if I walked a mile for them.

At the end of the day, you were not the one I was supposed to be with. As I continue to go on dates and meet new people, I still don't know who I'm supposed to be with. But every experience I've had with you and with the others before and/or after has guided me towards what I truly want and has helped me narrow these experiences to where I progress as a person and as a potential girlfriend.

I hope if you haven't already, that you find someone who makes you feel the way that I hope I do one day. I hope they bring you unconditional love and their arms around you make you feel both comfort and protection. I hope that their heart is pure and that their soul is filled with both spirit and wisdom.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
