An Open Letter To The Boy Who Wouldn't Stop Lying Until The Very End

I wanted to believe that you were more than your lies.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Wouldn't Stop Lying Until The Very End

Before falling in love with you I knew that you would be a challenge to love. I had heard all of the horror stories from countless girls that had known you romantically or the ones that had known you their whole life, but I wanted to believe that you were something more than the rumors people spread about you. I believed in you when it seemed that no one else had, and I still believe in you; even after you hurt me again and again.

I knew that all of your excuses were a little too convenient. I knew that your outrage whenever i asked you a question about one of your lies. You told me that it was me that was acting crazy. That I was always "assuming" things without ever actually asking about the whole story, but that was just one of your covers. A curtain that blinded me and made me feel as if I was the crazy one in our relationship.

I wanted to believe you when you told me that it wouldn't happen again, and I did countless times, but enough was enough when I found out that even your I love you's were a fable. I didn't want to believe that you continued to lie to me, even after the end. I wanted to believe that you were the perfect person for me. Even after all of the tears, the lies, and the heart break. I wanted you to be my soulmate so badly that it eventually killed me.

I lost everything I was before "Us". I lost the confidence that I had before you, because of your countless ridicule of women who were a "over weight". You would call them "Ham Planet's" or "Baby Fat's", but in reality they were all my size. I lost the faith that I had in myself that made me believe in anything anyone said to me. Everything I heard from someone knew came with a lingering suspicion of their honesty. I was left a paranoid and self conscious mess.

I know that I am not perfect. I never have been and I never will, but there is one thing that I did that you failed to do, and that was "Try." I tried to help you. I tried to encourage you to be a better person, to not say mean things the people that you judged by their cover, or to become something more than a boy who settled on lies, and I wanted you to better me too. That was rarely the case.

I know that in time this too will pass, but it doesn't change the fact that the person I had the most faith in failed me; because you decided that your pride, or your ego was more important than the feelings of the person you "loved." I know that someday I will find somebody whom would rather burn their tongue than lie to me. Someone that will never stop loving me, someone that would never make me feel as if I was the person that was the cause of all the problems in the relationship.

I will never stop believing in you. I know that you can change, even if it isn't with me. I know that someday you will find yourself and hopefully the next person you love never has to feel the sting of all your lies. I wish you the best, because that's all I ever really wanted for you. So, Goodbye my dear boy, and good luck.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
