To The Girl Who Loves Too Hard

I'm sorry.

You had to learn from an early age what a broken heart feels like and what that exactly meant.

And because you love just a little harder than everyone else, you felt the world stop spinning when you got your heart broken.


You have so much love to give and you dive into relationships heart first.
You are entirely committed from the start and are fiercely loyal.
You give up so much, just to see the other person smile.

But the secret is, you don't love too hard.

You expect the same love that you give.

And maybe the world is just too sad of a place to give out that kind of love, and you're just a blessing that somehow slipped through the cracks of heaven.

You go through life giving so much, you quickly burn yourself out when you don't receive any of it back.

And then you wonder if maybe you're just too hard to love.


You wonder if you aren't meant to be with anyone.
You wonder if no one out there can always make you feel the way you can make others feel.
You wonder if there's something wrong with you.


But, sweet girl, you aren't too hard to love, and there's nothing wrong with you.

You were put on this Earth by someone who loved you before you were even created. Someone who loves you enough, that he took your place on the cross and died for you. A man whose love is even more selfless than the one you give out.


So please, keep loving as passionately and fully as you can.

Embrace the unlovable who make you feel like you can't be loved properly.

And just know, you're perfect in his eyes.

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...

When It's Real

I've never been okay with myself. I've never liked what I've seen in the mirror. I've never accepted my body. I've always wondered what it feels like to be skinny, and thin, and wake up in the morning with cute pj's and messy hair, that 'just woke up look' and still have someone think I'm attractive. To have guys look at me and want to be my boyfriend, and have girls jealous of me as I walk past. I wonder what it feels like to feel my hipbones and collarbones, to feel confident in a bikini, to sit down and not feel fat everywhere, or rub out the thighs of all of my pants. I wonder what it's like to look in the mirror and like what I see. I spent most of my time running away from love because I was afraid they wouldn't like what's underneath. But the reason I did this, is because I had no idea what love actually was. I thought love was about red roses and expensive dinners. I thought when two people loved each other, they woul...

A Letter To You, My Love

Dear you, Distance is supposed to make the heart grow fonder right? Distance also tests us, and challenges us, and makes us say and do things we wish we could take back as soon as the words are said. The stubborn, selfish side of me says that my heart grows just as fond of you when I'm living 10 minutes away from you, not 2 hours. I hate being away from you. But the real side of me, the side you fell in love with, the selfless, the kind-hearted, the compassionate woman I am proud to be, knows this distance is going to be so worth it in the end. It's going to force us to put one another first in all circumstances. It's going to test our love, and make us prove how much the other person means to each other. It's going to show us whether or not we're really a priority in our busy lives. Communication and trust are key in making us work. Simple texts throughout the day, a random selfie, a late night unexpected phone call, and so much more become so precious and valu...
