Okay. This post is finna get real. I’ve felt God for a while telling me to do this, but I’ve been fighting it honestly bc it’s so personal and I don’t want to step on people’s toes. But I’m going to. oops, srynotsry. We’re going to call this little series “Tea with E” where I talk about real issues that we all deal with (if there are any topics you want to see, hmu). … Ok, so honestly I’m tired of people in my life, including myself, settling. You deserve better than a snapchat streak. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, snapchat is NOT a relationship. You deserve better than someone being wishy washy with their feelings towards you, leading you on, playing hot and cold. You deserve better than that late night text. You deserve better than a person only there for convenience. You deserve better than someone who uses you for their own gain. You deserve better than just a like on an instagram. … It’s so incredibly heartbreaking to see people just settle with these acts. Since when did we feel that these are adequate relationships and something to be giddy over?!?!?!? But then we all get upset and feel horrible when we get on insta and watch Lauren and Thomas Rhett’s insta stories bc they are so incredibly in love with each other and they are everything a healthy and Christ centered relationship should be (not saying their relationship is perfect, I’m sure it has it’s faults, but come on…they’re almost perfect). Why be mad and upset about how perfect their relationship seems when you’re settling in your own? not fighting for what truly matters? not fighting for a relationship that will last?? not resting in Jesus that He has someone better for you. Because believe it or not, it IS okay to be single, shocking I know. So, I’m not bashing on every homeboy out there. Trust me, there are good ones, great ones actually. However, that does not mean that they’re right for you. Yes, I said it. Don’t just settle for the first great guy you meet. You’ll know if he’s not right for you, we all have that gut instinct. And even though it hasn’t personally happened to me yet, I feel like you’ll just know when you do meet “the right one”. Just because his resume is filled incredible things, just because he’s genuinely nice to you, or even though he’s the first one to truly pursue you, still doesn’t always make him “the one”. When you think about what God has in store for you in the future, if He does at all (and it WILL be okay if He does not), think about how amazing that great guy is and then realize that God has someone EVEN BETTER WAITING ON YOU. Seriously how incredible is that. Read it again, just to let it sink in. … Know your worth. Know that you were made for great things. Know how much God loves you (He loves you so much you can’t even physically wrap your mind around it). Know that you should never settle for anything in life. God’s got His best for you.
This outfit is a lot edgier than my usual taste. The low cut top with holes throughout is way out of my comfort zone so I chose to pair it with my favorite white flare jeans and the world’s best wedges. Lately, I’ve been wanting to do things out of my comfort zone. I’m very shy, introverted and type A by nature. But I think that knowing I only have a few months left of college left, makes me want to do more things and spend less time watching youtube videos in my room LOLZ (speaking on which I’m really behind on my subscription box, who are your fav youtubers to watch????). There are so many things to do in college and I want to make the most of my time left. With trying to get out of my comfort zone, I’ve been brainstorming my ultimate + crazy bucket list so here it goes: -I want to go whale watching SO bad. I actually have such a fear of whales for some reason, but it would be SO cool to go watch them. -There’s a 50% that I want to go skydiving. I keep going back and forth on it. Like It would be such an incredible experience, but idk if I would actually go through with it lol. I would deff go indoor skydiving!! -Go on a hot air balloon ride. -Travel across Europe and Africa. -Jump off a waterfall. -Go zip lining. -Ride a camel bc y not -pet a tiger. -Go to every U.S. National Park. -Milk a cow lol random but cows are one of my fav animals and that would just be so cool hahah -Spend a day baking and hanging out w/ Taylor Swift OK, so obvi this isn’t a comprehensive bucket list. There are so many more things I want to do in life (hmu if you want to see a comprehensive list!!!) What’s on your bucket list??? XOXO, E.
