Not Your Average Love Letter

A cliche twist.

Not Your Average Love Letter
Colin Sullivan

“Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt” -Kurt Vonnegut

To begin we must make some clarifications. A notice of love, or writing of love, is to be able to express your passion of something through words. We choose to fall behind the safety of our words to hide from the reality of actions. We choose to write about the things we are passionate about. We choose to love these things because they make us become more aware than we once were. I was told before, “every piece of writing is a love letter.”


Comfort Found in Discomfort

To be aware of a place where it all means nothing,

to also be where everything means too much.

Sinking deep to where anxiety resides.

Unknown to the human’s toes below.

A state at which reality seems intangible.

Trying to grasp the fading firmialtiries

to the comfortable feeling of hatred.


Fear lurks through the dream,

Ingrained into us is the known feelings.

Anxiety has at last become apparent,

for the devil has grasped tighter before.

Where everything hurt.


Where we locked ourselves in to see,

To see the pain others had missed,

Coming closer to a defeat by our misery.

We fell to a point where it was easier being hurt,

Than to realize all the beauty.


A sacrifice has become a way of living.

Where we forget how to love,

we forget how to be the person we were,

to solely enjoy the unknown.


To allow ourselves in,

to allow ourselves to be standing

face to face with our biggest misunderstanding.

Our unknown has become everything,

everything we were searching for,

and everything I was running from.


Consumed in a place of discomfort,

where our brains are unraveling,

and our fingertips crave more,

craving more than just the keys below them.

Satisfying the thrill of honest ignorance,

gained knowledge overpowers our fears.

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.
