When To Let Go

Even when you think you shouldn't.

When To Let Go
hdimagesnew.com

The beginning of everything is always exciting and new. You get that feeling a young kid gets when they learn how to ride a bike… scared, but reckless. Falling in love feels exactly like that. It feels amazing, but on the inside you are absolutely terrified. What are you really scared of? Rejection? Unfaithfulness? Not sharing mutual feelings?

Instead of fearing it, you go for it full throttle. You give it all your time and effort, because maybe, just maybe this one is different than the last. You hope and pray that you found the one that is going to stay. The one who will sweep you dead off your feet and never drop you.

Instead of all the beautiful flowers and cliché messages all you got was heartache and disappointment. That “one” you fell heads over heals for changed their mind and has left you insecure and confused.

This is when you look at yourself in the mirror and say over and over again that you deserve someone who will give you the entire universe and not think twice about it. Let me tell you how much you are worth it. How you deserve so much more than just the universe. One day you will find that special someone that sees how worth it you really are.

Make a promise to yourself that you will let go when that little voice in your head says this situation is not right. Let go when you start questioning yourself. Most importantly, promise yourself that you will let go the very first night you cry yourself to sleep over the “one”, because let me tell you that the “one” will not let you go to sleep upset or mad. I promise you that it will never go away and when you have the wrong person in your life that you will not give up even after all the signs; God will allow this person to continue to hurt you until you realize. You are stronger than any of that, and until you see that all that you need to know is that…

You are Beautiful and you are worth it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
