Why I Can't Accept "LOVE"

How do you just stop loving someone?

Why I Can't Accept "LOVE"
Revd Cris Rogers

Everyone I knows breaks up.

My mom got divorced. My aunt got divorced. My uncle got divorced. My grandfather died when I was young so I didn't really see my grandma with anyone. My other grandma's husband died years before I was born so I never knew her with anyone. My sister had lots of boyfriends but not around me. As I assume the same with my cousin. One of my other cousins just broke up with his long-time girlfriend (and fiancee, I can't remember). All my friends have had unhealthy relationships.

I've never seen a long healthy relationship. So how can I have faith in them?

How can I possibly send two friends off happily in marriage when I've seen them fight, time and time again?

It might be fighting over stupid things but in my experience, fights over little things turn into fights over bigger things and in the end, end badly.

The relationships I have hope in, a week later breakup. Like HOW?

How can you spent an intimate part of your life with someone and then just stop.

Like I can kinda get it with a friendship, heck I've broken up friendships like that *snap*, (that was a finger snap if you were confused, you get the expression), but a relationship it doesn't seem like you have the same walls up so how does that work?

I get crushed when people stop being my friend, so I guess I'd get really crushed by a relationship.

But I don't understand it. How do you just stop caring for someone? Or did you ever really?

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.
