Oh, Honey! Remember Your Worth!
posted by Kayla Mady | March 26, 2024 | In OpinionI don’t know who needs to hear or who can relate. However, I’m unsure what the universe is doing right now, but I need it to stop. It seems to be throwing me options, and I feel like bait on a hook.
Options? Kayla, what do you mean? It’s exactly how it sounds: options such as dating contenders who shouldn’t be contenders. I’m not someone who has been actively searching to date or pining to get to know someone new, so I don’t understand why this is happening.
This may need to be clarified, so let me explain. Logically, I could be in my prime, which is why I am getting some attention right now, but the people coming my way and throwing me shots are either people who aren’t so great, complicated as hell, or, truthfully, just not my type.
I tried to give this new and exciting phenomenon a chance, but it has caused me more distress and made me question my self-worth more than discover anything positive about my latest self.
As a 21-year-old, the process of dating or even just getting to know people has changed. And just when you think people will get more mature, I feel like I haven’t had this many problems since high school.
I still need to realize how much of a toll people can take on you just by interacting. ‘Cause I am so tired of contemplating and dissecting messages or people’s actions. Why can’t we be straightforward adults and stop beating around the bush? #growapair #myhairisfallingout
My self-esteem is unstable, and I’m not shy about admitting that, but I didn’t realize how badly the stupidest, most inconvenient situations could rock me. I walk around holding my head high, attempting to radiate the baddest energy. So why, tell me why, should a clown’s actions knock me down?!
Throughout the past couple of months, a girl has gone through it. I’ve had long periods where I was confused, overwhelmed, and icked out to the max. I’ve just decided that I’m going to continue to focus on myself and my well-being over investing my time in people who have no idea what they want to say two seconds from now.
Because once you sit down and have that internal gossip/rant with yourself and remember just how much you bring to any table, you will realize that they are a waste of your time. You deserve to have someone who is going to give you the same energy, someone who has the time to spare, and someone who isn’t going to play games. #knowwhatyouwant
Once you decide you are done dealing with people’s tomfoolery, you will return to your clearest mindset without the extra fog.
To all the beautiful women around campus, baby girl, remember your worth. You are letting your brain rot for someone who wakes up and doesn’t know which side of the bed to get off.
But if you need to, dye your hair red and move on.
