    I’m Low Maintenance, But If You Won’t Do These 11 Things For Me, I’m Out

    Just because I’m a low-maintenance girlfriend who’s chill AF and doesn’t demand lots of things, that doesn’t mean you can just slack off. As my boyfriend, I expect you to at least do these things — otherwise, you risk losing me. 1. BE MY CHEERLEADER.  I’m independent and can take care of myself, but it’s nice to know that […]

  • When He Hesitates To Choose You, You Have To Choose Yourself

    When He Hesitates To Choose You, You Have To Choose Yourself

    You should not settle for someone who makes you wait for a text message, wait for a chance to see him, and wait for a label to be slapped onto your relationship. You should hold out for someone who cannot wait to call you his girlfriend, who cannot wait to introduce you to his parents, […]

  • I Will Never Stop Being ‘The Nice Girl’

    I Will Never Stop Being ‘The Nice Girl’

    I have a habit of caring about other people more than they care about me. I have been guilty of sacrificing time and energy for loved ones who took my kindness for granted. There have been a million times when I wished I was tougher, when I thought life would be easier if my selflessness […]

  • I’m The Girl Who Knows What She’s Worth & Won’t Accept Anything Less

    I’m The Girl Who Knows What She’s Worth & Won’t Accept Anything Less

    I struggled with my self-esteem (or lack thereof) for years, and it’s only lately that I realized I’ve let guys largely define how I used to feel about myself. I’ve been in some crappy relationships and have come across plenty of douchebags over the years, but enough is enough. It took me a while to figure it out, but the […]

  • Don’t Wait For Him

    Don’t Wait For Him

    Don’t wait for him to contact you. Don’t make excuses for his behavior. Take them at face value and respond to him accordingly. Don’t put your life on hold for him. Don’t let him have power over your self-esteem when he makes little to no effort to be a part of your life. Take the focus […]

  • Sorry But If He Actually Gave A Damn, He’d Act Like It

    Sorry But If He Actually Gave A Damn, He’d Act Like It

    Stop it. Just stop it. Stop making excuses for him in your own mind. Stop making excuses for him to everyone else. The harsh truth is that if he truly wanted to be there, he would. If he needed you for his own, he’d make sure it happened. If he cared about you the way […]

    24 Things That Happen When You Start Dating The Right Person

    Trust me; it gets better. 1. Your friends actually like him. We’ve all dated that guy that our friends hate, but this time it’s different. Your friends like him, and he likes your friends. People get along. It’s weird. 2. He likes the things you like. Whether it’s attending sporting events, yelling at reality television, […]

  • Stop Opening Your Heart To People Who Will Never Fight For You

    Stop Opening Your Heart To People Who Will Never Fight For You

    I think we’ve all been there. We’ve all met someone who we deemed worthy of our time and love, only to eventually find out that they weren’t. Maybe it was our fault for seeing something in them so clearly that we avoided the warning signs. Whatever the case was… we’ve been there. We’ve all been […]

  • All The Reasons I Have To Move On

    All The Reasons I Have To Move On

    First, it’s because you didn’t give me any choice but to. I fought hard. I wanted to fight even harder but this is not a one-man army. Being in a relationship is not a one-man army. I could have stayed if you just asked me to. I could have waited for you to make up […]

  • I’m More Closed Off To Love Now Than I’ve Ever Been In My Life

    I’m More Closed Off To Love Now Than I’ve Ever Been In My Life

    I want to be open when it comes to finding love, but it seems like my heart is caught in a vise these days. I’ve been single for so long that I can hardly access my romantic feelings anymore. I’d like to change this, but I’m not sure how. 1. IT DOESN’T FEEL WORTH IT TO OPEN UP. […]
