My Wish For The One That Got Away

You may not see the good in yourself, but that is all that I see.

My Wish For The One That Got Away

You know that person, the person who you want to give the world to but they won't let you? It's the worst kind of feeling. Knowing that you have so much love to give and they feel as though they aren't deserving of it? I can't say I don't get it because there have been numerous times that I have felt as though I was undeserving of love. But here's the thing — if someone is going to love me, they're promising me that they will be there for me, then I'm going to let them. There is no better feeling than being loved by those around you. Whether it be a friendship type of love or more than that — it's all worth fighting for.

To the person who I chose to love, who feels as though they aren't worthy of what I have to give —

I have a few wishes for you.

I wish that you would stop being so hard on yourself. Stop thinking the worst about yourself and feeling as though you're an awful person. You don't see it, but like I've told you a million times: you're one of the greatest people that I know. And nothing can change that.

I wish that you would let your guard down and allow people in. It's almost like you are trying as hard as you can to purposefully keep everyone out. But here's the thing: there are so many people who are wanting to love you and care for you — you just have to let them. I know people have let you down in the past, but if you hold that against every person you meet then you won't ever find what you are looking for.

I wish that you would find whatever you are looking for. You want to self-reflect and be alone, well I hope that you find whatever it is that you're longing for. Even if it's not — I wish you nothing but happiness. You deserve nothing less than that.

I wish that you would see the beauty in this world. You have so much to offer and give to others but you first need to see the beauty of what's around you.

I wish that you would be successful in your life. Not that you already aren't, because you are one of the most driven and hardworking people I know.

I wish that you would open up. I wish that you would stop closing yourself off from everyone. I wish you would see what is right in front of you. I wish that you saw yourself the way that I do. I wish that you would be happy. I wish that you would be pain-free and that the heavy weight on your shoulders would disappear. I wish you the best life possible and that you learn to be happy with yourself. I wish nothing but the best for you, because even though I wasn't able to give it to you, that doesn't mean that you don't deserve it.

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.
