If You Feel Too Afraid To Walk Away, This Is For You

"You are placing the knife in his hands while you turn around and hope for the best."

If You Feel Too Afraid To Walk Away, This Is For You
Everypixel

You have told me this is the last chance.

You still keep giving him chance after chance. You are placing the knife in his hands while you turn around and hope for the best.

What you need to come to terms is you cannot change him. He is not going to wake up one day and be the man that you have hoped for and prayed for.

When you love someone, it is hard to give up. It is hard to throw it all away and walk away after years of memories.The good, the bad, and the ugly. You have seen it all.

It feels like he is a part of you now and when he is gone, it will feel like a part of you is gone with him.

In reality, it is.

A part of you will be gone, but it will be weak, scared, and the sad part of you that should have been gone and locked out a long time ago.

Do not cling to a mistake just because you spent a long time making it. Do not let the good times blind you from all the bad.

Do not let the thought of your happily ever after drown you from the reality of the man who has put you through years of pain and suffering.

I know it makes your chest hurt and your knees weak at the thought of losing him. I know your eyes swell with tears when you imagine him packing up every piece of him and walking out that door.

You are better than this. You are better than him. There is more to life than being the sad girl that cries herself to sleep at night.

There is more to life than a man who breaks your heart a little bit every day.

It is going to hurt so much and it might hurt for a long time. I am not saying that everything will be okay tomorrow. From my past experience, you will not feel "okay" for a while.

Your heart will ache for him. You will be angry and there will be days where you might hate yourself for cutting him out.

You have to walk away.

When the hurting stops, you will finally open your eyes and realize that you will be okay.

You will finally get rid of every essence of his toxicity running through your veins. One day you will wake up refreshed.

You will be able to breathe the air your soul has been deprived of for many years. You will pick yourself up and slowly put together all of the pieces of your broken heart.

Then you will feel nothing. You wil not hurt for him. You will not be sad that he is gone. Your mind will not be tangled in the past memories of your failed relationship.

You will be over it. You will move on. You will finally know how it feels to be truly happy.

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.
