My Happy Ending

The sacrifice between happiness, success, and having a companion

Alone

Holding hands and smiling is foreign to me

You can catch me walking alone

With the million thoughts running through my head

But don’t forget to smile, they said

Alone

Honor’s Society but not Honor’s Student

Haven’t applied to Grad School

But I’ll do that on my own… alone

Anniversaries and going out on dates

Guess everyone is supposed to be happy except me…

Just keep smiling, play it safe

I see that you are happy with her yet you are texting me

Either love me or leave me you don’t want me or need me

Alone

Struggling to graduate Magna Cum Laude

One point away, help me God

This wasn’t my plan

But alone I stand

Marriage, engagement, children, I don’t understand

I’ll just be on my own, single and alone

In my solitude I have grown

Woman crush Wednesday, I am my own

Might as well get used to it, I’m forever alone

My chase for success has isolated me from ever forming that bond with someone

The time is ripe yet who am I dating, focus they said the right one will come

Thought I was finished now I have two more years of academia

To dedicate my life to help those in need

Who will dedicate their life to me?

Maybe the textbooks that have kept me company

Because not everyone can have the grades and the companion

But I have accepted this fact and the numbing sensation

That I will be alone and fearful on graduation

I hope my degree takes me far

I hope the unhappiness and the years of isolation chasing a hopeless dream are worth it

I hope when I am married I will say it was worth it

But in reality not everyone gets their happy ending.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
