You Deserve Better

“We should not give away a moment to anyone who does not deserve it.”

You Deserve Better
Foxmovies

You think he can give you the world, even when he doesn’t call or blows you off for his friends for the fourth weekend in a row. You think when he does kind things for you, it balances out all of the other times you’ve been mistreated. You’re wrong. It’s hard to know that there is someone who can give you so much more when you’re trapped in this small box. You deserve someone who's just as in love with you as you are with him. That’s hard to see because you think the world of him right now.

The right man will make you want to be a better person. Ask yourself, "Does he make me want to be a better person?" You’re sitting, waiting for him to call, show up, take you out; you're waiting on him to be a better person for you, and you know it isn't right. You feel a pit in your stomach. You constantly worry about what he’s doing, who he’s with. The need to run. He's not the one.

You're not a second route or an option. You deserve to be someone’s first choice. You shouldn’t feel uncertainty about him or yourself. You should never have to question his dedication when he says he loves you. You deserve someone who holds true to his word. When he says he’ll be there, he's there. You have confidence in his words because they are backed up by his actions.

My ex repeatedly broke promises and didn’t prioritize me the same way I did him, and it left me with a broken heart. Do not compromise the morals you’ve had for years for someone who hasn't earned your trust. Don't crack under pressure trying to force him to be the one. Leave. Take it from someone who ignored that gut feeling. Run. He's not the one.

I hope you find happiness. I hope you don’t settle for anything less than you deserve. Have patience, because the right man will come along and you’ll know why it never worked out with anyone else.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
