Poetry On Odyssey: In Search Of You

I'm just in cruise control waiting to crash.

About a woman who faces love so strong that it scares her, feeling for once that although she's independent there is this girl that's meant for only her. Through good, bad, happy, and sad, she only saw what mattered to her. Although in the past she will never be forgotten. A friend forever.

In search of you


Looking, searching, seeking for the love you gifted me with. Your heart was once my home and now I'm homeless because I fucked up. I can't seem to find the missing piece you once filled in my heart.

See you were my one in a million forget that you were my one and only. You were priceless. No price could match to your worth. My Nefertiti. My angelic piece of art.

I'm looking for something that I will never once again find. Only one piece will make my heart skip a beat like it once did and that's you.

So I begin to force love with seasonal ass females. Trying to make something fit that wasn't ever meant to be. You and me, thick as thieves I never thought it would come to this.

You say "things happen for a reason" I agree but not in this situation. I've been hurt so many times by females but what hurts even more is hurting yourself. This time I can't blame anyone except for myself.

I was the victim and the perpetrator. I'm lost without you. You were my guidance. Before I could ever see anything you were like my GPS.

You told me what to watch out for, when to turn and how to avoid traffic. You always supported me and no matter which route I took. Even if I got off track you always reset and continued to guide me to my destination regardless of how many times I messed up or took the wrong turns you were always there.

Now I'm not sure what my destination is. I'm just in cruise control waiting to crash. I don't want you. You are a necessity to my happiness my heart cringes knowing I no longer get your calls at night.

I check my phone constantly with the hopes that I got a message from you. The sad reality is that you are fine. I hurt you and I always promised I wouldn't and I dropped the ball.

Yet you live on and I don't. Crazy how that works. I hurt you and hurt myself in the end. I think what hurts the most is that I love you so much that it hurts but yet you love me from a distance.

The last person I ever wanted to hurt. Today you live on, you once broke but you managed to put yourself back together again. Nobody sees it but I notice the cracks I left because no matter how well you fix something the cracks will always be there from past hurt.

I wanted to impact your life but not in this way. Day by day I search for what we had although logically I know I'll never find that again. You were more than ordinary, a true mystic beauty.

For now I'll follow my heart although I know it'll never find a women to replace you. We thought we were meant to be but maybe this was all just a lesson, that you were too good for me.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
