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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
