You Deserve Better, So Don't Be That Person

When will you get tired of being treated poorly?

You Deserve Better, So Don't Be That Person
Jiri Wagner

To the person who deserves better:

You may be in denial as to why you deserve better. You may be satisfied with the way you're being treated. You may well know that you deserve better, but do not know how to get out.

How many times has someone told you they love you? How many times has someone said they will be there for you? How many times has someone said they care deeply about you?

If the answer is "a lot" then good for you, you found someone who loves you and cares. If the answer is "a little" or "never" then it is time you deserve better.

I am not one to give relationship advice simply because I have not been through it long enough to know, but I will tell you this much...you deserve to be loved unconditionally by someone who feels the same way you feel about them.

You deserve to be shown off to the world.

You deserve to laugh your butt off with the one you love.

You deserve to be taken on dates in public without your companion being ashamed.

You deserve to be taken by the hand and dance when everyone is watching.

You deserve to be respected and not treated as a secret.

You deserve to show emotion and feel intimacy.

You deserve to be supported of your dreams and goals.

You deserve to be with someone who loves your body in whatever shape it is in.

You deserve someone to go on adventures with.

You deserve someone who is always excited to see you.

You deserve someone who challenges you to be the best version of yourself.

You deserve your own freedom.

You deserve someone who accepts you for who you are.

No one...and I mean no one deserves to be treated as a dirty little secret only for the other person to feel good about themselves.

You do not deserve to be thrown away at the end of a night.

You do not deserve to be talked to in a negative way.

Don't let someone trick you into thinking they like you or want to be with you. People will tell you lies just to get what they want.

They won't care about your morals or respect you. The longer you continue for it to go on, the harder it will be. You will suffer from more internal pain than there is outward.

It will change you as a person.

People will give you advice on the situation and it is up to you to determine what you want.

When will you get tired of being treated poorly?

When is enough, enough?

Don't be that person.

Don't be that person who sits and wait for Prince Charming to ride on his white horse and save the day.

Don't be that person who believes a person will change just for you.

Don't be that person who is in denial of what is really going on.

Do not stay in a negative situation as a secret.

Overcome it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
