I Have Been Heartbroken Before, But Confusion Makes It Worse

Confusion does not help heal a broken heart.

It hurts when you get your heart broken. It hurts when you see the person you care about so much with someone else. It hurts when you want the best for someone, but you possibly could have been the best for them. It hurts when you feel homesick, but for a person. What hurts the most is when you know how you feel but you cannot put it into words.

It seems so simple to say how you feel but when you go to talk, no words come out. Being confused whether I actually have feelings for someone or if it is just a phase, is what gets me. Another thing that gets me is opening up to someone. I fear that I will open up to someone and they will get scared, so their decision is to leave.

You can feel a connection with a person all you want. People can tell you how good you two are together. Everyone can say they see it, but if you do not see it then it feels like there isn’t a point. Trying to see what everyone else says they see is like trying to pick someone out of a crowd, you say you see them but in reality, you do not see anything.

Being confused about how I feel about somebody has me in a state of anxiety at all times. What makes it worse is when you both have a past together, so you start to see signs you saw in the beginning. You feel like the signs are the same but you do not know how to react. It feels like you are walking on eggshells because you do not want to say or do the wrong thing. You do not want to overstep boundaries and you also do not want it to seem like you are interested.

While you feel that all the answers are right in front of you, it still is confusing on which one to choose. You do not want to pick the wrong one and ruin something that could possibly happen. Then there is the problem that you could pick another one and things are rushed. So you are stuck in a position where you feel like you cannot pick anything.

People come and go, some as they please and others, how I please. We never really know how long people will be in our lives. There have been times where I feel that some people are meant to be in my life forever, but then they show their true colors. While I am confused of the situations I am placed in with some people, they have made me a stronger person.

While I know that there is a reason why people are in my life, I wish I knew the exact reason.

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.
