You Are Worth More Than Being Someone's 'Maybe'

You are meant to be given 100 percent and not a look of uncertainty.

You Are Worth More Than Being Someone's 'Maybe'
Amber Frost Armstrong

I hope one day when someone makes you choose between being their maybe or nothing, you choose nothing.

I hope when someone stops giving you what you deserve, you leave. I beg of you to let them go if the bad outweighs the good and if your heart is filled with stress and not love. And I hope if someone makes your heart beg for them to give you another option, you walk away.

I never understood how someone could look at you as if nothing was there anymore, as if your whole idea of them changed with the look in their eyes to their emotionless testimony while you're begging them to stay. I still don't understand how someone who made you feel safe and secure can take that away from you in an instant.


How does your heart's home collapse on you in an instant? How can they act as though it meant nothing to them? This isn't love or what you deserve, and I hope you realize that before nothing is left for you to give.

But, what I do know is something better has to come of this pain and hurt. Someone who will be certain of your love and praise the ground you walk on — who will adore every inch of your body and not tear you apart. Who will enjoy when your eyes light up when they bring you coffee in bed or compliment your awful box-dyed hair job. An individual who will not criticize and question everything you do, they will accept you and that is more than someone who "thinks" they'll figure out how to love you again.

You are meant to be given 100 percent and not a look of uncertainty.

Love shouldn't be painful, your partner shouldn't make you anxious or unable to breathe when you're around them. You shouldn't have shock waves running through your body when they tell you they would like it if you changed something about you or question your intelligence.

You may not understand why someone came into your life and left so quickly without a trace or a care in the world, but I promise you holding onto what isn't there or never was will shatter you further. Did they truly love you if they did this?

Your life will go on, you will be able to stomach food again, you will have a good night's sleep someday, and your heart will grow back stronger and ready to love someone even more than him.

Your heart will be ready to love what it deserves.

You're worthy of so much more, my dear. I can promise you letting them go will relieve you from this, so walk away without a trace and be done with their BS.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
