My Timeline, it breaks my heart.

Lately when I log onto Facebook and scroll through, all I see is heartbreak and sadness. From the killing of Blake Snyder (St. Louis County Officer), to a little girl who should not have become still born named Vylette.

It breaks my heart seeing all these people dead. It breaks my heart knowing their families will be grieving for a very long time. A little boy won’t grow up with his father and another baby won’t grow up without her mother. As well as a little girl won’t get to grow up at all, her mother will never have seen her breath on her own and grow, she will never get to hear her cry or see her eyes. She will never get to be up every three hours to feed and change her daughter. She won’t get those stressful nights and beautifully cranky mornings. She will never see her laugh and giggle, roll over and crawl, talk and walk. Her mother will never get to see that all because the staff did not feel like doing their job.

My timeline breaks my heart.

Seeing a wife grieve for her husband, and feel lost and buried deep, the only thing keeping her going is her son. Her beautiful son, who will never get to grow up with his father all because someone decided to play God and take a life.

My timeline breaks my heart, and I cry because of it.

No one should ever have to feel this pain all because of others and their choices they decided to make. It is horrible, nasty, and dark. Having someone you care deeply for just ripped out of your life. It tears you apart on the inside; you won’t want to eat. You won’t want to sleep because when you sleep, you dream, hoping it is all some horrible nightmare, only to wake up to it being your dark reality. You will stop taking care of yourself because you won’t want to get up out of bed. You just cry and stare at the wall till your body is too tired and forces you to sleep. Then you sleep for hours and hours, never wanting to get up. Never wanting to wake up to your reality of darkness, sadness, and pain. So much pain.

My timeline breaks my heart, and I grieve for them.

This is not how it should be. Others playing God because they feel like it. Intentionally or not. These two families are here because of someone else’s poor choices. Now a mother will never see what her child will become, what she would have done in her life. How is that fair?

Now a child will grow up never really knowing his father, while a wife watches her son grow and preserve that memory of her husband and teach her child what a good father, husband, and person he was. Why is it others decide to play God? I will never know, but this is not right. My heart grieves for these families, I hope they get the justice and closure they deserve.

My timeline breaks my heart…and there is nothing I can do about it…

Here are their stories.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
