Cutting Out Family Is Normal

Is it safe to cut off family even though they are family? The answer is simple: If you feel that someone in your life is truly toxic, whether they are family or not, there is no reason why they should continue to make your life miserable. I don't understand why sometimes the people that are blood should make you feel worthless and miserable all because they want you to be someone that you know that you're not.

My whole life I've been trying to impress the people that are the closest to me in my life for the wrong reasons. I've constantly had my back against the wall feeling worthless for absolutely no reason when I was truly just trying to be myself. As I say this, please don't allow even the closest people in your life to allow yourself to sink this low with doubt. You should be glad to be yourself and not what your family wants all the time. Sure they want what's best for us, but sometimes that doesn't mean that they are always right. I taught myself this, that a long time ago if you feel that someone if ruining your happiness you have to let them go because how else are you going to grow from it? You can't expect that the person is going to change overnight. You can't wait on a certain change to happen so quickly. All you can do is just put all your hopes into your happiness. That's the only thing that should matter. Your goals and aspersions should be such importance that everything else needs to come second.

So next time you come across a situation where you're not sure if you should cut off your close loved ones, just remember that it's completely normal if you want your mind at ease.

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.
