I learned a quote off social media that really stuck out to me. “Stop planting flowers in people’s yards who aren’t going to water them”.
Love is hands down the worst drug in the world. No matter how hard you try and fight it off, everyone wants it. It can make you do idiotic things. It can completely change who you are as a person. It can cause to cry your eyes out until you are on the verge of vomiting. But sometimes, no matter how hard we love, people can’t love us back. As a freshman in college, I have witnessed this first hand. I have been in love, multiple times. But there is one incident that changed me. I was head over heels for a guy.

I get in the car and I sob. Tyler turns to me and says
“You’re the one who wanted to talk to me, so talk”. I was honestly appalled that the harsh sentence was coming from the boy I loved mouth. We stop in a parking lot and talk about things. It was silent in the car except the love song on the radio. He looked at me, and leaned in for a kiss. I kissed back until I realized how I shouldn’t be doing what I was.
I went on for fifteen minutes about how he had played with my feelings long enough. I looked at him and said, “Did you even love me?” But his reply was “I don’t know if I ever did…” I learned I had let the flower I planted die, a long time ago and I was trying to repair it. You can’t bring something back if it’s already gone. His love for me left a long time ago.
I learned that I can’t just go planting flowers in people’s yards who don’t want them and aren’t willing to help make them
