After, he left I never thought I would actually be okay. I thought the pain would last and that I would never get over him leaving, after all he abandoned me. It hurt in fact it ripped me apart in ways I thought nobody could. 

However, the complete opposite happened. Him leaving me made me see how toxic he was. I never realized how toxic he was because I confused it with love. And I am sure he did love me, but his love was toxic. See I never really have been the easiest person I am someone who never holds back. He tried to water me down into someone I wasn’t and because I loved him I allowed it. Day by day I let him water me down until there wasn’t anything left to me.  

After he left I kept questioning what was wrong with me and I realized it wasn’t me. Until I realized in trying to mold me into what he needed I became blind to what he was. A broken angry man . Life had not gone his way at all and it ate at him and he became something he was not .. cold. Because of him leaving I now know my worth because of him I am in love with myself. I will never hate that man and truthfully I will always have love for him and pray that one day he finds what is looking for. Most of all I forgive him for leaving me. I forgive him for myself so I don‘t hold on to that pain. 

Ladies listen if you are in a relationship and you feel like you are comprimising yourself too much then the truth is you are. You should not have to comprise yourself to someone you are not. If he is not willing to accept you then he is not for you. Do not hold on to something that you want if it makes you a lesser version of you. Most of all forgive the man who abandoned you do not let him continue to drag you down.

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.

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.
