Poetry on Odyssey: Mind Games

I was better off before I met you.

Why do you do that?

Why do you strum me along like I’m some string on a violin?

Why do you act like there isn’t a possibility we couldn’t be more than friends?

What happened to the late nights we spent together? The soft laughter and talking about the near future. You made it seem like it would be you and I against the world. Maybe I’m more upset at the fact that I considered the hope of us being together for a split second than you leaving me in the dark.

How can you wake up one day, and pretend like nothing happened the night before? How can you play someone who had your best interests at heart? That’s how you diminish a good woman. You can go to hell and back for someone and that individual could still reply, “I didn’t ask you to.”

These mind games are slowly interfering with my sanity. You don’t destroy the people you love.

Having too big a heart can be a weakness. When you have a big heart, you tend to look for an angel deep inside the demon. The darkness will eventually consume you, making their pain your pain.

Another thing.

Why should I bend over backwards for someone who’s not even willing to meet me halfway? This act gets old after a while.

Sometimes we create our own heartbreak. We love too hard. We expect too much which often leads to disappointment.

The empty promises.

The unnecessary lies.

I’m tired. I’m tired of it all. I’m tired of putting in more than I receive. I’m tired of not getting what I deserve. I deserve to be treated like an actual human being. It seems like most of the people I encounter, are getting over someone through me or are only seeking something temporary and inconsequential, knowing somehow I’d be the one to supply it.

There’s nothing in this world that I want more is someone to love me with my flaws and all. To break down all the barriers that I have set up. There’s always going to be roadblocks but I need someone who is willing to go through them with me instead of fleeing the other way. I need someone who is willing to do everything a real man is supposed to do.

Mind games.

First, it hurts, but then you get used to it.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
