You wanted me erased from your life. You wanted nothing to do with me. You wanted everyone and anyone to hate me so much that you would constantly spread rumors and lies. You even went as far as getting other people to put me down and judge me for something that I did not even commit. What you said, did, and put me through is unforgivable and immoral. I will never give you or allow you to invade my well-being ever again.

#Don'tComeBackIntoMyLife

Hi all of my fellow readers, I know it's been a while since I have written for Odyssey but after a long summer and now just getting back into college I want to remind all of you of how far you have truly come. If you are just starting off as a freshman or finally in your senior year, it's truly a blessing and a very thankful journey.

I want you all though to remember that there are going to be people who will walk out of your life between these four years and somehow someway they will, unfortunately, try to enter back into your life. What I'm trying to convey to all of you in this article specifically is to never let them back in no matter how much you may want or they may want to they don't deserve your love.

Whether it's an ex-boyfriend, ex-best friend, an ex-roommate, or some family member causing unnecessary drama - keep them out of your life. They once probably told you that you were the best person in the world, that you would always be their baby, and that nothing and no one could ever come between you both.

They probably gave you their false word so many times that it just stopped hurting so much after a while to the point where you just become numb and it doesn't even phase you anymore. At one point they might have belittled you, yelled at you, verbally abused you, or possibly controlled you physically, mentally, and emotionally to the point where you said sorry too many times to count.

You might have had to ask for their permission, take their opinion of you over yours, and they might have even used your personal secrets against you so that they could gain more power. They might have even made you feel so small that you lost who you are, that you forgot who you were, and how special of a person you are to this world.

They probably made you cry so many times and sometimes you might have dreams of the replays of all of the bad things that have happened to where it just gets so overwhelming that it makes you feel like you're about to suffocate.

These are the reasons why you don't want these people back into your life. These are the reasons why you have hopefully grown even stronger now that they are out of your life. If you are still growing or haven't tried to grow from these toxic people, today is your day to start. Keep getting more confident and raise your self-esteem so that you can always remember your worth.

Forget about those people that are full of crap! If they literally think that a friend request on Facebook, saying "hi" to you out on campus, and then trying to raise a conversation is going to fix anything, they are sadly freaking confused and majorly mistaken. They wanted you out of their life; they wanted you gone, and now they want you back? It's their loss because you are incredible and you have the ability to touch and inspire all of the people that are of value in your life.

They know what they missed out on and now all they feel is just pure guilt because you are a genuine human being that they wish they could emulate. But they will never be capable of that kind of morality. In all, I just want all of you college students out there to remember you are so much more than your haters.

Let them keep on hating from a distance as they try to segue themselves back into your life. Keep in mind that they betrayed and deceived you once, and they could always heinously do it again. Once someone decides to walk out of your life, they have no right to just come back and waltz in. Life does not work that way.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
