The Past

I would have made you cry.

The Past
Tribecca Mize

Part 1

You would have loved the old me.
You would have loved the things I could do and be.
Having you wonder where I am and where I could be.
You would have loved to see me.
Looking in your eyes making you believe I was everything you wanted me to be.
I would have kept dark secrets behind those eyes, I would have told lies, so many lies.
I would have made you cry.
You would love me because you could never figure out why.

Part 2

What’s wrong with her heart?
She said she loved me from the start.
I’m going through her phone, there’s been guys there all along.
2 years I spent with her. Met with family, friends, I showed her love, I let her in.
She corrupted me she did.
Twisted, wicked, cruel is what she is, evil is what she did.
Darkness resides in her.
I’m drawn to it.
She loved me the wrong way & now I’m into it.

Part 3

Brokenness lives here. Next to it is pain and fear.
We control her and what’s inside.
She cries and never releases. We have torn her heart into pieces
We have corrupted her mind, and made her believe in this.
Gave her a home and named it wickedness.

Part 4

Bring all the past into present.
Learn from it, there someone new who hasn’t felt it.
Her pain her scorn, nothing you’ve dealt with.
She gives all that to God, but you are selfish.
She gives you her best and you take it for granted.
Not knowing her past the evil she was possessed with.
You are someone new, someone that got protected.
She hates that you didn’t see the new her, now she regrets it.

Part 5

She says to herself, “You would have loved the old me.
You would have loved the things I could do and be.
Having you wonder where I am and where I could be.
You would have loved to see me.
Looking in your eyes making you believe I was everything you wanted me to be.
I would have kept dark secrets behind those eyes, I would have told lies, so many lies.
I would have made you cry.
You would love me because you could never figure out why.”

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.
