Maybe one day soon, we can try this again.

When You Find You, Come Back To Me

"Letting go does not mean you stop caring. It means you stop trying to force others to". – Mandy Hale

Sometimes the hardest thing for us to do, is to accept that sometimes you actually do have to let go of someone if you ever hope to have a chance to be together.

Sometimes you really do have to let go if there is any chance of the two of you working in the future.

Not everyone you meet is ready for a relationship. It may be because they aren't at the same place as you mentally or emotionally. Not everyone is over past relationships, or in a position, at that exact moment, to give you the kind of love and relationship you need.

That doesn't always mean it's the end. It doens't mean the feelings went A-wall, and chemistry isn't there anymore. It simply means you have to let the person go. You have to let them go so they can find themselves.

You have to let them go so they can learn to live without you. So they can learn what they want. Maybe they have demons they need to fight. Maybe they have battles they need to overcome. Regardless, letting them go doesn't mean it's the end. It doesn't mean that the chapter for the possibility of ya'll has closed.

What it does mean though, is that the timing isn't ideal. What it means is that you need to take a step back and admire them from afar. Just because you won't let yourself be apart of their daily life right now, doesn't mean it will stay that way forever.

For now, it has to be that way. It just has to. But know that it SUCKS.

You have to let go of the person you have so much care and respect for, in order to allow them to find themselves and what they want.

And when they're ready and the timing is right, they may find their way back to you.... or they may move on.

But,

I do hope that you come back, when you find yourself.

Sincerely,

The girl you gave hope to again.

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!
