You Deserve Better, Never Forget That!

First and foremost, no, this article will not be a heart-wrenching lecture on how not to settle in a relationship. In fact, it is an article that is a gentle reminder that you are so important and worthy of everything good and just in this world. Therefore, never be anyone's second choice. Never be anyone's last resort. You deserve better even if you do not know what better is at this point.

Now, talking only to that person who settles in relationships; do not worry you're not alone! I have also been guilty of settling in many times in my life. Here are some of the things that I have learned from my experiences.

Firstly, if you live from the abundant place in which you are loved you won't have to find yourself begging others for their scraps of love! Powerful, right? We don't have to beg others for love because our heavenly Father gives it freely.

Our minds and souls are inspiring and loving. Our personalities are nothing but extraordinary. So why do we settle? Why do we allow people to put this hold on our hearts that makes ache inside?

It is because deep down we know that these people aren't meant for us, but it is easier to hold on than to deal with the pain of walking away. We have to learn how to step back, realize we are not loved from the person in which we seek love, and finally just walk away!

It is a beautiful experience when we can come to terms with the fact that we are already so loved; so loved that He chose to lay down His life for our sins. The world has done a great job of trying to brainwash us into settling for things we do not deserve mainly by social media. The likes, comments, and messages lead us to believe that we have to settle in life. Nonetheless, don't flirt with the world. Your soul is at stake!!

Today, let's make a promise to stop being afraid of living our lives without certain people. Let's stop settling for things we know we don't desire because at the end of the day, the one true person who we really need promises from will never leave!

We deserve so much better and I hope oyu will always remember that!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

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.
