It may not always be intentional, but what you say, stays.

It may not always be intentional, but what you say, stays.
Morgan Sokolic

You don’t know what it’s like to be with you, the hurt and the hatred surrounding us two.

Growing up you were the shoulder to cry on, now if I ever need you, you never even have your phone on.

Emotions run high, so do our voices. What really scares me are your lasting life choices.

We take trips, get dinner, have good conversation, but you do you ever listen to what I'm conversating?

When I was little, I'd fall and scrape my knee. You'd come running and my heart would fill with glee.

Now when I need someone to talk to, you're never there for me to turn to.

Sure, there are days where I let your harsh words slip by, but that doesn’t mean, on the inside, your words don’t make me break down and cry.

I try to smile and play the part of what you expect, but after so many times of being hurt, every mean word, harsh look, and everything else you do feel like a deep threat.

I know you’re doing what you think is best for you, the way you live your life and all, well, that’s only good for you.

Your life is different than mine. You get through things with the help of your friends, great conversations, a glass of red wine.

It’s different for me, you see, whenever I open up to people. All the time I just get laughed at, picked on and teased.

Always have you been a big part of my life, but how can I allow that when all you do is cause so much strife.

You see, you hear, you scowl and charge. In the end, it breaks my heart, the pieces, so large.

I deal, I breathe, I sob and I wonder, how could someone who says they love me so much cause a storm within me that erupts so much thunder.

The good days come, that's a fact, but when the bad days come, it hits me like a slap.

You say things you don't mean, those are the things that sting. You expect those words to be brushed off by a feather of a wing.

Good days we will share, bad days we will have as well. Those bad days, let me tell you, those are a living hell.

I allow you to do your thing because you’re your own person whom of which in their life knows how to handle everything.

I do my best to make you smile, I do, but in the end, it makes my heart just become more and more in denial.

Your life is yours and my life is mine, All I wish is that our love could intertwine.

Our days are different, that's for sure. Maybe one day they will cross course.

Someone once said that sometimes you have to be scared because that means you have something to lose, but one day you might come around and there will be no me to lose.

You handle your life and I will handle mine.

All we need is a little bit of time.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
