Loneliness Is Something I Only Like With Deal With Every Few Months

Life hurts when you are alone

Loneliness Is Something I Only Like With Deal With Every Few Months
Desmond Williams

So, I was recently told by a friend of mine that, she thought I was gay the first time we met. I am not bothered by this, I am just wondering if every girl thinks this about me. I guess I don't help because I am always making jokes that question which sex I like. I am totally straight, I look at men, sometimes, but I like females. Sometimes. I have never been in a relationship, but trust me I like females.

The reason that I am talking about this topic is because I have felt loneliness for most of my life. Like I said, I haven't been in a relationship, like ever. I don't count the online relationships that I've had as real because there wasn't any emotional involvement . Being single is fun at times, but when you are single for a majority of your life, that is a different story. You get accustomed to being alone, but there are times when you feel bad, like you aren't worth anything. That no one wants you and that you should change that. I don't know how many times that I deleted and downloaded Tinder off my phone.

Love is just an unseen seed that should be able to grow and flourish, but because I avoid it, I never see it and it can't get nourishment. This is how I feel at times and it is sad that I feel this way, but it is the truth. Look into the eyes of the person you love and keep looking to find the thing that you will hold onto forever. Inside those eyes are a hidden persona that they will only show to the person that they hold deep and you better hope that you are that person because if you aren't, why are you there.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
