If You Say You Love Me Then Why Are You With Her?

An open letter to my ex fiance

If You Say You Love Me Then Why Are You With Her?

How am I supposed to feel knowing you're falling for her? A week ago you said you loved me. One week, 7 days. That's all it was. You're living together now, and you're having twins. I'm happy for you really I am but how am I to feel knowing you're living what was to be our life with her? You tell me we're too different but what if we just never saw the similarities? What if you chose me not her? She wants to meet me, I wonder what you've told her about me, about us. Am I made out to be that ex she's gonna hate? Or did you paint me how I am, just lost and trying to heal from your bruises. You left marks upon me that emotionally I question if I will return from.

Will I ever be whole again or am I just living to keep my heart beating? Is it me who was at fault or was it that life just got in our way? I hate asking the what if's of us but I can't sleep knowing your lying next to her. You say you love me but how much of that is just a show? We both know that we never would have worked out, you were toxic and I was young.

I wanted to finish school first but you wanted to live in the now. What if I gave up everything for you as you wanted? Then what, where would we be now? I regret a lot of things in life and you used to be one of them, not anymore. You taught me lessons I never should have learned but I'm glad I did.

I know now what I deserve and what love really is, it is not what we were or what we are. I guess you got what you wanted with her. I just hope you treat her better than you treated me.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
