Dear,

Yes, you are still my dear, my darling, and my world. You have been since October 29th, 2016. I have to let you go once and for all, as you have let me slip from your life multiple times. You've let me go since the day we met to find other things and people to love, while I let go of everything and everyone else that I love so that I could only love you. I thought that was what you wanted.

I cannot marry you anymore. I cannot wear my ring anymore. It's a ring of false hope. It is exhausting to love you, but I could have pulled you up from your low places for the rest of my life. You couldn't take me down from my high places, but you didn't want to do that. As many times that you've turned your back on me, I was still there. I cannot do it anymore.

I have been your safety net. I have been the heart that you use to fill your ego and make you feel loved. I loved you despite of the names, the lies, and selfishness. But love is selfless and transparent. You told me I should care less and take us less seriously, but I don't know how to do that. I care so much about you that I don't know a world where I don't care about you. There are things you put ahead of me and I know that I don't fit into your life anymore.

You come and go whenever you feel like it. When an attempt to date someone new failed, you ran back to me. I accepted you with open arms. Why do you need me here? It's always been for you, not for us. I wanted you, and I'm not sorry that I wanted more attention from you. I never asked you to change your life or your values to be with me, but you tried to change mine.

I do have to change. I have to break my promise of always being there for you. I don't think that I should be here anymore for you. I lost you a long time ago. Every day and every second you were falling more out of love with me. I've tried to make excuses for you, but I've run out of them. Don't worry about all of our wedding plans, I will cancel them all.

Finally, you don't get to crush someone's value and soul because you're unsure about how you feel. You will always look for more, because I am not enough for you. You wanted to show me what love was and you gave me the complete opposite.

Sincerely,

The one you let go

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
