I'm Sorry For Being Me

I know I might be a lot to handle, but I am the most genuine person you will ever meet

I'm Sorry For Being Me
thoughtcatalog

I know I'm an intelligent, kind and beautiful person with a beautiful heart. It hurts that most of the people I know don't see me that way and feel the need to tear me down and leave me alone. For the people who gave up on me and left, I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you. I know I can be a lot to handle sometimes and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being kind of shy and letting anxiety get ahold of me when we were supposed to be having a good time. I can't help that I get so nervous that all my words come out in a jumbled mess sometimes because I never know what to say.

I didn't mean to let my eating disorder get in the way of going out to lunch or dinner with you, or making you feel like I didn't want to hangout with you, because that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm sorry that I let my bad body image get in the way of seeing you. Truth is that sometimes I can't help avoiding certain places and situations because I feel like everyone is concentrating on how "fat" I think I look and it makes me anxious.

I know I can be boring and quiet and I'm sorry. I would like to be louder, maybe even go to parties once in a while, but sometimes it's hard for me to get out of bed and I don't have the energy to do anything else because for me, that is enough.

I'm sorry for having a heart made of glass and for getting worried about the smallest things. I'm not good at love and I'm sorry if I ever did anything to hurt you.

I'm sorry for not being able to open up to you as much as you would like me to, and for building a wall around my heart. I used to tell people everything and I used to let people in, until they broke my heart over and over again.

I'm sorry for being the kind of person who gives 100% to everyone I care about even if I only get 10% back. Realize that I'm hurting because I give and I give but I never feel like I'm getting any of that love back. I'm sorry for trying to be in your life even if you don't want me anymore because I'm scared of losing you just like I've lost everyone else. I'm sorry for overwhelming you with my attention and love.

I know I get sad and cry a lot and that I sometimes need you to tell me that I will be okay. I know that sometimes I need to be reminded of the good things about me so that I could feel like I was worth something. I know you don't want to be involved with me and what I'm going through because it's "complicated". I'm sorry for constantly putting myself down. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that I am worth it. I know that annoys you and takes a lot out of you and I'm sorry.

But, none of this is an excuse for shattering my heart and leaving me alone. I hope you remember all of the times I was there for you when you needed a shoulder to cry on and for someone to talk to. I hope you realize that I would've (and still would) done anything to make sure that you're okay, even if you don't need me anymore. All I asked for was a friend... and it hurts that I wasn't enough. I'm sorry if I was too much to deal with. But the real reason I'm sorry is because I spent my time crying over you when you didn't care about me half as much as I cared about you. I'm sorry that you thought that walking away from someone that would be there for you through everything was a good decision.

I'm sorry for being me but, I'm even more sorry that you lost the most genuine person you will ever meet.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
