Waiting For You Is Hard, But You Are Worth It.

I feel as though I have already spent a lifetime waiting for my "Prince Charming" to show up and sweep me off of my feet. I keep this in the back of my mind as I watch all of the girls I have grown up with in happy relationships, already talking about getting married and buying houses with a white picket fence. At times I feel like life is leaving me as I fall behind in my state of singleness and that I am missing out on things that any other normal girl my age is living out. In moments of doubt, I let these thoughts consume my brain to the point that I fear there is a possibility that this person I wait for doesn't even exist. And yet, God continuously reminds me of his promise. The one I have spent my whole life waiting for is out there, and he is well worth the wait. As girls, we are so quick to look past our beliefs and what we truly want in a man to fill the void that comes with a constant worry that maybe our search for our person will never end. We must be reminded of the man we are waiting for, the man who is picked for us individually to hold our hands and help lead us through this life.

I wait for a man that will always put God first before everything.

I search for a man standing in a crowded room and will only be looking at me.

I wait for someone who will be protective over my feelings, knowing that I lead with a heart worth fighting for.

I wait for that person who appreciates the tiny and beautiful things in life.

I wait for a man who loves his Mother because the way he treats his first love is how he will also treat me.

I look for a man who is willing to admit his faults and will love me despite all of mine.

I search for someone that will slow dance with me in public, simply because my favorite song came on.

I look for that person who will hold me through all of the bad days.

I wait for a man that will belly laugh with me over the light-hearted moments that are only meant for the two of us and nobody else.

I am searching for the person that will coin the term, "Home is wherever I'm with you."

I am waiting for my person.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

2645

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
