If I loved You Once I'll Love You Forever

“Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.” - Maya Angelou

If I loved You Once I'll Love You Forever

Love is an interesting concept. We use it to express our admiration for things like our favorite foods, material items, our pets, our friends, and our lovers. “Love” has endless meanings and endless interpretations and it can take in a variety of different forms.

I believe love between people is everlasting. If I have loved you before, I love you now, and I will love you forever. I don’t believe it was ever love in the first place if you can just decide one day that you no longer love someone. That’s not what love is. You may have thought that it was love but it was probably just lust or an infatuation of someone.

Throughout my whole life, I have always cherished every single relationship I have made. Whether it be platonic friendships or romantic relationships. I would not have started to build a relationship with you if I had not loved you in some prior way.

Regretfully, I have lost relationships with many people whom I've once loved. My ex best friend is no longer in my life. My first love has moved on. My past loves are just that. But not to me. All of these expired relationships mean more to me. Obviously, I wouldn't have had you as my best friend if I didn't love. I wouldn't have dated you if I didn't love you in some way. I wouldn't have invested in our relationship if I didn't love you. My previous love for you has just transformed into a new love. From romantic love to friendship love. From friendship love to neighborly love. I will always have some level of love for you because I will always care about you.

I will always be that person you can always rely on. I will always be that person you can run to for help. I will always be that person that will always be there for you if you need me. If you need a friend, I am there. I will never understand how people can just completely cut off and ignore the people they've once loved. That doesn't even make any sense. How can anyone be so cold-hearted? You've spent a portion of you life engaging with these people and making memories with them. It shouldn't be so easy to just cut them out of your life. Did you really ever care for them in the first place? Were these people just a way for you to waste your time?

Maybe I'm just a clingy person. Maybe I'm just over attached. Or maybe I'm just a good person with a big heart and a lot of love to give. Whatever it may be, I will never forgot those that I used to love. I will never forget those that used to make my days just by seeing them. You all know who you are, I will always love you.

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.
