Forgiveness. A very powerful force that very few dares reckon with.

With you, forgiveness didn't come easy, it was me fighting day and night with the guilt of me doing something wrong. You made me feel so worthless and powerless and like I had no fight left. I was drained from your hurtful actions.

You waited four months for me to find out about what you had done, but even then the words were not drawn from your lips. I am ashamed that I tried to make things right and we tried to continue to date, but unfortunately, things did not work out. Unfortunately, I could not bring myself to feel love from you ever again, because, my dear, it seems that we lost that when you decided to look for it in another girl.

My heart was broken because my happiness was found within another person and they destroyed it. I didn't want to start over with someone new. You were everything I had ever needed and wanted, but clearly, I wasn't what you needed or wanted.

Starting from square one was the hardest thing to do because I am now ridden with trust issues and it's hard to find the love I thought I had. Maybe, it's time to move on from the love I had and focus on the love I need now.

God has sent me a wonderful relationship and I'm so thankful for it. I'm thankful for the joy he brings me every day.I'm thankful he sticks by me when things get rough because he knows my heart and he knows what I've been through. I'm thankful he prays for me and with me.

This isn't a message of hatred and disgust. This is a message of forgiveness and hopes that you find what you need in life. I've forgiven you for what you have done. It's been a long time coming.

Sincerely,

Your non-bitter ex-girlfriend.

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.

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.
