Thoughts

         “Never give up on a person you can’t go a day without thinking about.” Advice given universally to the regular, angsty human being. Well, here’s my advice on this phrase. Ignore it, mentally tear it up and throw it in the trash, etc. This could be the most detrimental “insightful tip” ever seen. A person is constantly in your thoughts, so what? This quote should not be taken as and is not a sign from some higher power, a clue from fate, or a fortune teller with a dinky crystal ball.  What if this person you can’t give up on is dating someone else? Or he’s the ex that put you through hell? Or the worst case of all, someone who you’ve held onto for so long, and they don’t love you back? Is it healthy to hold on to that person? The truth is, I firmly believe in leaving when that person no longer can give you a reason to stay.  No matter how much you try to justify whatever that person does, you have to be honest with yourself. A person who loves you doesn’t tear you apart, piece to piece, and leave you lying on the floor shattered.  So if he doesn’t call for days, leaves you hanging, lies, cheats, or just doesn’t see the beauty in front of him, then pack your bags and slam the door. There are some things worth holding onto and I know that love was meant to wait. But sometimes we are so blinded by our emotions, that we miss everything around us. Love was meant to wait, but love was not meant to waste away.  So let go. Drop it. If you need to convince yourself with petty reasons to stay, then that should be your first reason to leave. Shake the rust off of those wings and fly, because I believe that person worth holding on to, will hardly let your grip slip, or catch your hand right before it let’s go.

The Wrong Guy

       People always talk about the wrong guy, the wrong girl, the wrong person in general. There are always the girlish quotes stating “so many girls fall for the wrong guys, because they say all the right things.” Are people capable of deceiving? Yes.  Absolutely. But the question is… is there really that one right person? I say no. Do you realize how limiting that is? There is that one person for you, your soulmate, and there will never be anybody else like that for you. Erase this from your mind, because it is complete and utter crap. What if that person dies from a fatal incident? Or doesn’t end up being that guy you meet in the line while waiting for your Starbucks, because he decided to go to Dunkin Donuts instead? Or maybe that one you are “meant to be with” missed his stop on the subway because he was too distracted on the phone, the stop in which you were getting on and he was getting off. I think we are capable of loving absolutely anyone, given the time and the opportunity. There is something simply beautiful about everyone, so unique. Whether it be a quirky laugh, charming smile, maybe even the way a person sneezes; honestly, it’s whatever gets you going. If there was that one person, then why would we spend our time dating all the “wrong” people? “Excuse me, sorry, I’m just dating you to see if you’re the one and as soon as I find out you’re not, this relationship is over.” I believe that if people keep an open mind, they could fall for anyone. Because the truth is, beauty has all different forms. And no, I’m not stating some cheesy statement where it comes in big, small, ugly, etc. When it comes down to it, the physical appearance isn’t what makes a person beautiful. Beauty is what makes you drawn to that person. Beauty is those flaws that your significant other hates, but you love the most. Beauty is the answer to the question “why do I keep coming back?” SO. The point is to keep an open mind, because you could fall for anyone. And remember, just about anyone could fall for you.

Please welcome the noob.

Hey everybody! The name's Olivia. I'm 19, and a freshman in college. I decided to make this blog because I enjoy writing and figured this might be a good way to get things out there. Well.... if there is anyone even bothering to look at this in the first place? No? Well then it's more for my personal enjoyment. Awhile ago, I was struck with the idea to write little excerpts about parts of romance that I have an opinion on me. Although I lack much experience in the romance department, considering my age, I've learned quite a lot from helping friends out with their problems and observing with an outside, detached eye. I'll be posting some of the things I've written every so often. I appreciate comments, however, if this blog does actually get attention, if you don't like what I write, please take negativity elsewhere. Again, if I'm not merely talking to ghosts, any questions or requests are welcomed!

I'll post a writing here very very soon. Farewell for now! :)

Olivia

P.S. If you're wondering about the name of this blog... well I showed my writing to one of my friends and she dubbed me a "realistic romantic"... and viola!
