Stop Waiting On Your Scott Disick And Go Find Your Travis Barker

Sometimes, finding the love you need means walking away from the person who doesn’t deserve you. At least that was the case for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.

Kardashian, 42, had been dating Scott Disick, 38, on and off for almost 10 years before she reportedly broke it off for good in 2015. Kardashian said the reason she decided to end their relationship was mainly due to Disick’s struggles with substance use (though he was also caught being unfaithful, too). The former couple have three children together.

A few years later, Kardashian started dating blink-182 drummer and long-time friend Barker, 46, in January 2021. The pair got engaged in October 2021, after less than a year of dating. This goes to show that the person who really wants to make it work with you commits right away. They get it together.

As the saying goes: if he wanted to, he would.

Kardashian wouldn’t have had the chance to fall in love with Barker if she had still been trying to make things work with Disick. She had faith in herself to walk away in 2015. She knew she deserved better so she gave herself the chance to find it.

You need to love yourself more than you love the idea of someone else. You need to believe you deserve better in order to get it. You need to let go in order to make room in your heart for someone else, someone who will love you in the way you need.

Here’s the thing: most of us can relate to the dynamic Disick and Kardashian had. The guy who promises to do better, and then doesn’t. But waiting and waiting and waiting on someone to change who has no intention to do so is not romantic. It is exhausting. It will break you.

You deserve more than “maybe one day.” You deserve good love right here, right now. Having history with someone isn’t a good enough reason to stick around, no matter how beautiful your past was. You should be with someone you actually have a future with. 

So, please, stop waiting on your Scott Disick. Go find your Travis Barker. It’s never too late for love.
