No Matter How Hard You Try, You Will Never Get To Me

Your unhappiness won't affect me.

No Matter How Hard You Try, You Will Never Get To Me

I'm happy, and you're not.

That's what you have made me realize.

I often wonder why some people continuously try to irk certain people with their petty actions. What do you have against me? Is it a boy? A girl? A friend? Whatever it is, your actions will never be enough to get to me. You can act like a kind person who would never hurt a fly who couldn't be happier with their life, but, your actions truly say otherwise.

If you are truly happy, you would not try to bother me.

What do you accomplish by trying to see someone squirm? What do you accomplish by intentionally hurting someone? If you're genuinely happy and content with your life, that happiness will make you feel like you're walking on sunshine and nothing could ever tear you down. You wouldn't feel the need to bother someone else with your unnecessary and hurtful actions. So why are you trying to tear me down?

If there's anything I've observed from your behavior, it is that you aren't happy with yourself, so you find the need to pick on people you feel are weak. Next time you try picking on me, I hope you realize that I am anything but weak. I will not take what you try to throw at me. I've learned that being the bigger person is the most mature thing to do. As a college student, it amazes me how many people don't leave their 13-year-old drama back in middle school. We are adults. We are supposed to be independent and bettering ourselves. We are not supposed to be dedicated to hurting someone else and have a personal vendetta against them. Please tell me, how does that make YOU a better person?

There's nothing wrong in being the bigger person. It shows maturity. It shows that you won't let stupid drama that will never matter get to you. Look around you: there are so many more important things in this world than a "subtweet", or a dirty look, or talking behind someone's back about someone you know, or don't know. There are people around the world struggling to find a better life, there's war, there's hunger. People die every single day. Do you want to let negativity kill you? Negativity will you eat alive. Do something with all that negative energy. Turn it into positivity. Do something to better the world, and not to intentionally try to get to someone else.

What am I trying to say in this article? I'm trying to say that there are too many people that can't move on. It's time to stop this. It's time to focus on yourself and do something good for the world. Stop hurting people. Focus on yourself, and don't let other people try and bring you down from their petty and useless actions. None of this will matter. You're not getting to me. You're not going to tear me down.

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.
