There Is A Difference Between Somebody Who Wants You And Somebody Who Would Do Anything To Keep You

You deserve nothing but the best

There Is A Difference Between Somebody Who Wants You And Somebody Who Would Do Anything To Keep You

The truth is if someone really wants you they will put in all the effort they can to make sure that they always keep you. They will do what they have to do to make you happy, cheer you up, always be there for you. Honestly, you deserve nothing less than that. You shouldn't have to fight for someones attentions, you shouldn't have to ask over and over again if they want you in their life, that just isn't fair to you.

If someone wants to be with you to be apart of your life they'll make it happen.

Actions speak louder than words. I know it's nice to hear about how much someone likes you or how much you mean to them, but those words mean nothing unless they put the actions behind them. There is going to come a point were you get tired of justifying their actions. You'll eventually get tired of always coming up with excuses on why they do what they do. You don't deserve that, you should never have to justify someone else actions.

You deserve love where you receive as much as you give. If someone isn't willing to work towards that kind of love then it's OK to leave them. You are worth more than second thoughts and "maybes." You want to be with someone who gives you there all, you want to be with someone who is constantly showing you that they want you in their life. You don't deserve to be told maybe or going back and forth in the relationship. You want someone that is there for you whenever you need them. Someone that is ready to catch you when you fall. Someone that is going to give 110 percent toward the relationship to make sure that it works.

It's OK to walk away from someone who doesn't give you their all. It's OK to tell someone that you aren't ready for a serious commitment, but what isn't OK is dragging someone along with you, leading them on, making them believe that you are different from the rest. That's not OK.

Have standards. Make them know that you want and deserve nothing but the best and if they can't provide that to you then they simply do not deserve you.

Let them miss you. When you constantly go back to someone you are making it harder on yourself. You're making them believe that you are constantly available to them, they will take you for you granted, and they will believe you'll always stay. I know relationships can be scary because they either leave or they stay. It's scary when someone brings so much happiness into your life because at any second they can leave and take that happiness with them. Let them take it with them, let them walk away from you. You deserve nothing but the best from someone and if they can't offer that you, then they aren't the one for you.

Remember, there is a difference between somebody who wants you and somebody who would do anything to keep you, always remember that.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
