Breaking Up With Me To 'Work On Yourself' Was Bullshit And You Know It

No, I don't regret a thing I said or did.

Breaking Up With Me To 'Work On Yourself' Was Bullshit And You Know It

I texted you out of anger and frustration, sue me. And you can bet there was also some sadness behind it all as well.

The truth is, you might never even reply. I don't know if you've blocked me or what, so maybe you won't even see the text.

I'll admit I definitely said some things I probably shouldn’t have.

But guess what?

I don’t care.

I have kept quiet for way too long. I have been nice and not thought an ill thought about you since you broke me. I was and still am moving on.

I can see you’ve moved on, too. Very quickly may I add. Already in a new relationship.

So when you said you were unhappy with yourself and needed to work on fixing your life--was that just a line of bullshit you fed me?

Because it seems to be.

You can’t fix yourself in less than a month and already be that hung up on a new girl.

I don't mean to be blunt, but, honey, she’s a rebound. I know she is. She also seems to have previously been with someone pretty seriously. So, really, you are each other’s rebounds.

How cute.

I’m pretty sure you knew her before we broke up, so who knows? Maybe you were even cheating on me and I never knew!

Silly me.

But now I know I have so much more ahead of me and you were just a bump on my pathway to greatness. You would’ve held me back, and I didn’t see it then, but I sure do now.

You were not the guy for my future, and I'm glad I got out before it was too late.

You were not the guy I deserved because I deserve so much better.

I will always have questions for you, but I don’t think I’ll ever get answers.

I think you’re too afraid to admit you lied to me.

I think you’re too afraid to confront what you actually did to someone.

I think you’re too selfish to see the hurt you caused someone else.

I think you’re even too selfish to see how much I truly cared about you.

Hopefully, one day you'll see me for who I am. But that time is not now. You are in your own world, and you are coping in your own way.

New girlfriend, alcohol and who knows what else. You do you, but I sure as hell know you are way too toxic for me and will always be.

"Working on yourself" my ass. What’d you think, I was stupid or something?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
