To the guy who doesn't respect relationships,

What brought you to this point? You dated someone in your past who has moved on from all those silly little games you played, and you just can't stand it, can you? Is that why you blow up our phones on the regular? Is that why you enjoy tormenting us? We're here to say no more.

What we had (or thought we had) is a thing of the past. We are finished for a reason and more than one reason at that. The drama and baggage that you carry with you is too much for anyone to handle, and if you don't change, no one is going to want any part of you.

Let's start with all those times you said, "Dump him, date me." My question to you is, if you say you care so much, you should ultimately care more about our happiness than winning us back. You should acknowledge and accept the fact that you're just not what we want anymore. And yeah, it's going to such. But that's life, and it's also called tough love,

What about all the times you treated me wrong and had no intentions of fixing it? I've found something better, and all of a sudden you're sorry for everything you did? No thanks. I know better.

Because of you, I have learned what I don't want out of a relationship. Because of you, I am strong enough to walk away from any man, because I know what I deserve now. Because of you, I can say that I've dated 'a guy like that' and I can keep other girls from falling for your stupid tricks.

Let's talk about the wasted time I spent trying to be something I wasn't for you. You didn't appreciate me. You didn't want me to be myself. You created a shell that I had to wear every time I was around you, and I've broken out of it. Someone else has shown me that you are the exact opposite of what every girl deserves to have. Love and be loved they say - I'm not even sure you know the meaning of that word.

I have grown up and moved on from your childish games, Try as you might, you will not change my mind and you will not be victorious in any way. I am happy, I am loved, and I am stronger than you. When you learn to appreciate a good girl, you will learn to do whatever it takes to not let her go - the first time.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.
