Recently I was feeling bummed out about dating. My lovely friend C, who first considerately asked if I wanted advice or validation, passed along this gem of a pep talk that she heard from a girl we know named Sammy. And I loved it so much that I want to share it with you, and anyone who has ever felt less than because a person they liked treated them poorly. This was originally written for women, but can easily work for anyone regardless of gender/sexuality.
Get Yours
When someone treats you badly, erase them from your phone. DELETE, DELETE, DELETE.
They just don’t like you and that’s okay. I know it sucks but that’s why you erase them from your phone to symbolize erasing their negative energy from your life.
You are a strong beautiful woman. Your emotions are not controlled by people who aren’t worth your time.
YOU ARE A WARRIOR PRINCESS AND YOU TAKE NO PRISONERS.
After a dark time where the boy I loved most crushed me, I adopted the motto GET YOURS and from that point on every decision I made was about me and getting what I needed and wanted and it revolutionized my dating life.
And I have relayed this tale to you because I love you and want you to get yours.
GET YOURS.
You’re fucking worth it.
I´m sorry, sidestepping issues by ignoring people who offend you doesn´t same to be the most mature response.
Also, relationships are about compromise. Would you live a friendship that way? GET YOURS is terrible advice for any kind of human contact. You are getting what´s “yours” on the back of your partner. Again…compromise
[...] who make you feel bad about yourself. Eliminate their negative energy from your life and make getting yours your New Year’s [...]
I must say I agree with Robbie’s statement. In every relationship there always has to be compromise to work things out. Your saying that a little friction and you suddenly bail out? That’s just harsh.
