To The Boy That Helped Me Embrace The Idea Of Love

Always love yourself first.

I think that we all grow up and have different ideas on love, what it entails and how it's supposed to function. Some have the whole love doesn't exist, boys/girls suck, and you are never going to find your true love. While there is another perspective, something like I'll have my happily ever after, everything would be like a fairy tale, and it would all come at my time. Finally, there is the type of person that goes through the realm of both, you believe, then you don't, then you believe again, and for me, that would be the normal thing.

I try to not be cynical when it comes to love, I know I would be lying if I said I don't believe that someday I'll get my one true love, but I also know what I came to understand with time, that in order to find love, you have to go through different phases and learn to be the person you want to be.

Some people get heartbroken and shut themselves from love, they tell themselves they are done and that they do not believe in anything related to happily ever after anymore. But I want to tell you all a story, I'm the type of person that opens their heart to everyone, I want everyone to be happy and that makes me happy. Knowing that I can make people happy, makes me want to do it and makes me who I am.

There comes a point in your life where you experience a heartbreaking moment, there are always people that take advantage of the good in you, and that happened to me, but instead of shutting myself up, I embraced it and made it my own. I want to tell that person, that everything that happened only made me stronger and helped me grow into the person I am today.

So I want to tell all the people out there, that all of those heartbreaks and let downs, are not your undoing and what makes you give up on love, but they should be the thing that makes you grow and makes you believe that the right person for you is still out there.

There is going to be a time when you actually find your one and that should be enough to keep you going and not let you give up. You are who you are because of those little moments, and you should not let a boy make you change your perspective on love, instead, you should embrace your beliefs and make them the best for you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
