Want to know why she doesn’t get attached?

She doesn’t get attached because she’s realized that attachment makes her cling to things she doesn’t always need. She doesn’t get attached because not everyone who says they’re going to stay, stays.

She doesn’t get attached because attachment makes her chase things that were never hers, to begin with. Attachment blurs her vision and she loses sight of who she is because she’s trying too hard to keep someone who doesn’t want to be kept.

She doesn’t get attached because she’s learned not everyone stays. There is a blessing in holding on and letting go. She realized that attachment holds her back from becoming who she wants to become because she’s too busy chasing that person instead of focusing on what makes her happy.

She doesn’t get attached because not everyone means what they say. People don’t keep their promises. They don’t always come back. They don’t always love you like they say they do, and even if they do love you they have a funny way of showing it. She knows that some people change their minds overnight and attachment always ends in disappointment.

She doesn’t get attached because she’s learned that one-sided attachment hurts like hell. One-sided attachment always brings her pain.

One-sided attachment makes her love herself a little less and loses sight of who she’s wanting to become.

One-sided attachment makes her forget her own self-worth.

She’s realized that once she’s attached she forgets who she is, and become a person she swore she would never be. She doesn't get attached because she vowed to never lose herself again.

She doesn’t get attached because she’s finally learning how to let go. She’s learning that her heart isn’t always right and sometimes she shouldn’t be so open with herself. She’s slowly learning that attraction can be blind, and she’s learning how to let go of everything that makes herself question her self-worth.

She doesn’t get attached because she’s learning to love again, but she knows now that the two aren’t the same. You can love someone from afar. Letting someone go is sometimes the best kind of love.

She doesn’t get attached anymore because she’s tired of people pulling away, people changing the way they view her, people not knowing what they want after a while. She doesn’t get attached because people leave and maybe the whole point of love is to that enjoy it while it lasts instead of trying to cling to it forever.

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.
