A Letter To The Person Who Doesn't See Potential In Me

I know at the end of the day I am strong, courageous, brave, smart, loving, trustworthy, and honest. I will never become who you have become, I am stronger.

A Letter To The Person Who Doesn't See Potential In Me

No matter how hard I have tried to show you I can accomplish any task you set before me you find faults in what I am doing. You chose to critique my every move. You hardly ever give me a compliment for helping you or completing what you would like me to do. This has been extremely difficult. I try and try day in and day out to think of ways the please you. It is honestly the most exhausting thing I have been through in a while. I am unsure how much more effort I can give towards trying to figure out a way to make you happy.

So I am done being the ginny pig for your critiquing, narcissistic comments. I am not going to put forth any more effort towards being who you want me to be. I am going to be who I want to be. I refuse to give you any more satisfaction. I will not react to your comments. I will not spend countless hours replaying and trying to be a different person. I refuse to do this. I deserve better. Whatever relationship you call this will remain the same unless you are able to notice in yourself what you are doing. Which I will not hold my breath for because there is no way you will be able to look past your own thoughts to empathize with mine.

Regardless of who you think I am. I know at the end of the day I am strong, courageous, brave, smart, loving, trustworthy, and honest. I will never become who you have become, I am stronger. I refuse to put people down and make them squirm. Life is more than your opinion and criticism. I hope one day you will be able to see the potential in me that a lot of others do. Until then I truly wish you the very best.

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.
