It's okay to take some L's

When You Bet On A Guy And Lose

Girls,

We all know what it feels like to not believe guys in today’s world and this screwed up generation. When we decide that we have a crush on a boy and he all of a sudden starts talking to you you have to talk about it with your friends first. Some of your friends are going to motivate you to talk to him but others are going to tell you not to do it because maybe they have heard some not so good things about this boy and he doesn’t have a good track record. OR more common than not in this world the negative friend telling you not to talk to him doesn’t know anything about him but she has lost faith in boys completely at this point.

I’m here to tell you that if you bet on a guy and lose that it is completely ok. It’s life. Either way you bet you are living your life. Maybe you bet that it wouldn’t work out because you have no faith in guys, your friends convinced you not to do it, or you don’t like what your hearing and you don’t want to take any chances. It is completely okay to protect yourself from guys. Maybe after betting that it wouldn’t work out it ends up he would’ve been a good chance to take. But you already made that choice, your opportunity has gone and passed.

Or maybe you bet on a guy that it would work out and you should take a chance with him and you lost. That is also completely okay. Every girl needs to experience that or will experience that once in their life. You can regret it but there’s no point because it’s a chance you took and at one point you thought it would work out and there is no shame in believing in something and chasing it even though it may not work out. Like I said before, it’s life, it’s called living. Without mistakes we wouldn’t be able to make the right choices and maybe find “the one.”

I think that in today’s world everyone thinks there’s one right way to do things but if I am being completely honest with you there isn’t. You can’t follow what someone else is doing because it worked for them. You had to do what’s best for you or at least what you think is the best for you.

So I say, if you bet on a guy and lose I am sorry but good for you. Take your chance but know your worth. There is a whole big world out there and so many fish in the sea. Find your fish. You may take a few L's but when you find "the one" it's all worth it.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
