Why You Shouldn't Give Up On Love

Though love can be hard and sometimes difficult to find, you should never give up on it.

Why You Shouldn't Give Up On Love

Whether you’re single or in a struggling relationship, it can be easy to lose faith in love. Fighting to keep it can be equally as daunting as fighting to find it. However, when moments of doubt cloud your mind and you feel like giving up, it’s important to remember exactly why love is worth fighting for.

It’s a source of support and stability.

When everything else in your life is crazy and constantly changing, love provides a sense of comfort in trying times. At the end of the day, you will always have your love to lean on for support, and you can be confident in the fact that they will always have your back. In a world where nothing is ever really set in stone, love is. Having one thing that is constant in a turbulent world provides a level of comfort that is almost indescribable. Love provides a pair of open arms and a listening ear always.

It teaches you to be selfless.

Through most of our lives, it is natural to only care and worry about yourself when making decisions. However, love begs you to consider how to care about another person and put another’s needs before your own. While it’s still important to care for your own needs, you have another person to take into account when choosing your actions now. You learn how to compromise and sacrifice for someone else, because you care. It’ll make you want to be selfless because your love will do the same for you in return. And through all of this, it will lead you to discover who, at the end of the day, is worth your time and affection.

You learn things about yourself.

Love opens up a whole new world, full of different emotions and feelings you never knew you had to begin with. When discovering love, you discover things about yourself as well. You may find yourself learning about little quirks you wouldn’t have been able to notice on your own, or having a change in perspective on a topic you originally thought differently about. Love allows you to uncover hidden truths within yourself, which can be scary at first. However, with the support that your love provides, you’ll be able to fall in love with every bit of yourself as well, which is equally as important as caring for another.

You are worth it.

Though finding and keeping love can be challenging, it is one of the most rewarding aspects of life. Love can make you feel immeasurable happiness and joy. The biggest reason not to give up on love is simply that you are worth the pure bliss that comes with it. You are worthy of having another care and love for you, unconditionally. Everyone goes through difficult time in their lives. Times when they feel scared, conflicted, or unlovable, but these struggles only make you more deserving of support and affection. Don’t give up on finding the happiness you deserve, and love can help provide you with spark of thrill you merit.

So even when you feel like giving up, when you feel as though you’ll never be able to find love, or that the love you currently feel is fraught, continue to fight for it. Love is worth the struggle, and you are worth the love.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
