For The Girl Who Feels Too Much

“It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply.”

Stop.

Never ever,

Allow yourself to graze the rose petal garden and grasp the watercolors of the sky.

It’s too dangerous;

Do not cast this evil spell.

It will cause a corrosion of chaos,

A field of dancing dreams and a stage of dripping glass slippers.

If you don’t turn that sun dial towards something like:

Insecure crickets or silenced wrecking balls; they will poison your soul.

You’ll never shake hands with your destiny, and,

Darling, you’ll break your own heart.

If you’re waiting for the ripples of the ocean to reciprocate, then,

Your ears are ready to embrace the ultimate truth:

You feel too much; you know that.

You are a dramatic daffodil, a sensitive starfish, and a terrified torch of light that doesn’t know how to breathe.

Don’t ever convince yourself that:

Words are beautiful, communication is romantic, and feelings are a right of passage.

Clearly you need to be reminded that:

“Your heart is worthy of a majestic story,”

Is a catastrophic lie because,

“Your brain is not capable of reasonable thoughts,”

Screams reality through a bandaid of truth.

Your compassionate eyes, your tender smile, and your ability to listen to the whispers of the wind,

Is useless.

Thinking that you are an indecisive igloo, a foolish pot of gold, and a satirical bundle of balloons,

Is along the right track.

Learning to trust yourself,

Will not diminish any of your fears,

But dismissing your concerns, hiding from the monster of confrontation, and ignoring the broken road that is set before you,

Might bring you comfort.

Keeping your star-gazed questions to yourself,

Is the right thing to do.

Sharing the inner-most layer of your complicated core;

It is not something to waste your time on.

Black and white canyons of denial will always shut the door on rainbow fireflies that constantly seek approval.

You are a paradox and there's nothing you can do about it.

Now read it again from the bottom up.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
