Stop Settling: Why You Need To Wait For The Right One

Stefanie Dyga

Wait for him.

Wait for the one that makes your heart beat out of time and your soul sing.

Wait for the one who fits in your life like a puzzle piece.

Wait for the one who will go to breakfast with you at 10 a.m. and Taco Bell at 11 p.m. and every other place in between.

Wait for the one who will sit on the floor with you and take hours to complete the 3000-piece Bengal Tiger puzzle you randomly found in the bottom of your closet.

Wait for the one who loves all the things that you hate: your fading dyed hair, chipped nail polish, imperfect skin.

Wait for the one who pushes you, pushes you to always be your best.

Wait for the one who loves the way you look in your favorite worn-out sweatshirt and your hair on top of your head. You don't always have to dress to impress.

Wait for the one who never minds your anxious thoughts and quivering fingers.

Wait for the one who builds you up. There's no room in your life for anyone who tears you down, period. You don't need that kind of negative energy.

Wait for the one who will be with you when the tears fall on the floor and you just need someone's arms around you.

Wait for the one who will laugh at your stupid puns and jokes, even when they really aren't that funny.

Wait for the one who watches your favorite movie with you even though you've made him watch it 100 other times.

Wait for the one who is your very best friend.

Wait for the one who will go out and get the necessary items because yeah, periods suck and we're allowed to wallow for a bit.

Wait for the one who doesn't get embarrassed by your crazy dance moves.

Wait for the one who will patiently read and respond to all of your uppercased ranting texts from the bad day you just had.

Wait for the one who sees right through you when you nod and say that everything's fine.

Wait for the one who surpasses all of the cliche things you thought about love and carves a new place in your heart, a place that you thought would never be etched on.

I cannot stress this enough: do not ever settle. Do not ever think that you deserve anything less than the best.

You've got a fire burning inside you that should never be stifled, and you are worthy of the whole world and a little bit more. You need someone who recognizes you for the kick-ass woman that you are. You need to have someone who knows you and loves every single inch.

The most important part of all of this: you are never too much and you are always enough. Surround yourself with the positive energy you've been craving. When the time is right, when you find the one you've been longing for, you'll know. You'll just know.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
