Nothing At All

Have you ever felt like you were nothing at all?

Nothing At All
Tony Webster

I left my life behind

Sealed my lips and vowed to never speak again

And who did I think would care

I built these walls

Made from tears and fears but I don't remember when

Why do they all stare

And I ran so far away

They chased me all the way to worlds end

I tried to keep quiet

But screams broke the silence

And God was real why does hand feel like broken promises

I dreamt of better days but that was then

Now I feel nothing at all

My mother cried from the top of hill and through the trees

With monsters grabbing my heel

I ran and ran from nothing at all

The world took my only friend

Took her soul and left her in my weakened arms

And they never said things get easier

I looked back at the heavens

I cried and I cried

But I heard nothing at all

I was stuck in the dark

The things how they haunt and they taunt me

Took my eyes but somehow I saw

Oh I hate them I saw them I know that they saw me too

I wanted to be rescued

I wanted to feel safe

But instead I felt nothing at all

Again if God is real

Please come and save me

I am broke

And I am weak

These words overflow

The cries of a father,

This voice none the wiser

But nothing comes out

I learned my place again

So I'll say nothing at all

As you all do nothing at all

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
