You Are Forever Enough For Everyone, Even Him

No, keeping him interested is not your job.

I was scrolling through Pinterest a little while back trying to get some inspiration before getting my hair done. When I first clicked the app and before I searched my desired hair color, the front page was covered in articles aimed towards girls about how to be "enough" for a guy and things to do to "keep your man interested".

I was horrified.

Before scrolling by I clicked on them, I wanted to read it and I truly hoped the article was different than the title made it out to be.

It was not.

These articles had lists and lists of ways young girls and women everywhere could keep a man.

These lists included things such as "whenever he wants sex, have sex" or "clean his house while he is having a guys night." I was once again horrified.

Girls, it has never, nor will ever be your job to keep a man interested.

To the young girls reading this, everything you are is enough. Everything you want to be is enough. You can live your life the way you want and in the right time and in the right moment things will fall in its place and he (or she) will fall into place, whoever he (or she) is. Your job is never, ever to keep him interested or make him believe you are enough. He should already know.

If the man you are with is not interested in where you are from or who your favorite high school teacher was, he is not the one. If that man is not interested in how you want your coffee in the morning or how you need a snack every night before bed (and your favorite one), he is not the one. If he is not interested in your anxiety and the way you freak out in crowds or the way school work intimidates you sometimes, he is not one. If he is not interested in your best friends, your hobbies or your favorite lazy Sunday movie, he is not the one.

If a man thinks what makes you enough is you stripping down at his say so, instead of the way you hold his hand in public and dance like an idiot around Target together, he is not the one. If he thinks what makes you enough is your ability to make a bed or a sandwich instead of your ability to make him laugh and make him love like he never has before, he is not the one. If he thinks what makes you enough is the materialistic things you buy him instead of the way you can make a mean bowl of cereal for dinner or make a complete mess in the kitchen and refuse to clean it up, he is not the one.

Girls, my point is everything you are and everything you do that makes you uniquely you, is enough for him and is what should keep him interested. These articles that state otherwise is not true. You have everything you need within you, every stupid quirk, every weird habit, all of that is who you truly are and is who she keep him interested.

At the end of the day, the only thing you should have to do to "keep him interested" is yourself and nothing more.

"I will tell you this again and again and again; you are enough. You are so incredibly enough."

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
