Not Every Broken Heart Is A Bad Thing

Not being with you is like coming up for a breath of fresh air.

To the guy who I thought was the one for me: thank you. I have learned a lot from these past few years of being together. I thought I lost a piece of my heart, but I have gained a piece to my heart that has made me happy. Realizing I am not with you, has made me stronger, and I have learned more about myself than I would have with you.

Being with you felt like I was drowning in emotions. I was always asking if we were together when we weren’t. I wanted you, even more, when the temptation was there. You taught me that I didn’t need to change anything about me. You wanted me to be the rebound girl when other girls didn’t work out.

Being with you was not only a toxic relationship, but it was toxic to my health. Not being with you is like coming up for a breath of fresh air.

Moving on was hard and took a few months to recover but I looked to many things for comfort. One of those was music. I heard the song "Praying" by Kesha, and it spoke to my heart. It says that you told me I was nothing without you. That was a lie; the mixed emotions started when you said you had feelings for me, but in return, you wanted other things. I hope your soul is changing for the better, and I hope you're finding peace.

This song has taught me so much. Songs can have different meanings for different people, and this one spoke to me in the sense that I don’t need a toxic relationship. I have found strength and have become a stronger person without you. If you haven’t heard this song, I would recommend it.

Thank you for treating me as you did. I have learned a lot, and now I am ready to grow even more. I know that time will take over and find me my prince charming — a guy who is supposed to treat me right.

The game is over for now, but a new chapter is just beginning.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
