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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
