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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
