Sometimes You Have To Hurt People

This isn't as sadistic as it sounds.

Hurting people is natural, but lets be honest, no one likes doing it. If you do enjoy hurting people you should probably figure out why and see a therapist. Breaking someones heart is rough, out of all of the horrible things you can do to a person, breaking their heart is the worst. Sometimes we have to do it, for many different reasons. Everyone hurts everyone, it just happens.

There are many reasons that people hurt other people, whether that be in the dating world or just during friendships. Sometimes we have to hurt people in the moment rather than prolonging it and waiting for months to tell them something horrible, such as the fact that you might not like them as much as you thought. That happens a lot, we get caught up in our feelings and think we are into someone more than we actually are and then don't realize it till we're in too deep. When we go into the world of dating, typically we expect to get hurt, but we never want to be that person that hurts someone else.

Hurting someone is sometimes the way to happiness. That sounds sadistic, but hear me out. If you are friends with someone or dating someone toxic,it isn't a bad thing to cut them out of your life. Maybe they are into drugs, or are emotionally draining and you can't take that anymore, it is okay to hurt those people and cut them off if they are making life a little more difficult on you. Maybe your family drags you down and your tired of it. Whatever the case may be, you might have to hurt those people in order to grow as a person.

At the end of the day, it is about your own happiness and how you view yourself. Although it is really hard, and you might feel guilty, it is okay to hurt others in order to keep yourself happy and have a positive life. No one owes you anything, and you don't owe anyone anything. I think we often times forget that. We often times feel obligated to keep others happy and that really shouldn't be our job. Happiness is something that has to be found within yourself.

I will be the first to admit that I am bad at hurting people, and also very bad at cutting people off. I feel like everyone deserves a second chance, but I usually give people more than that. Recently, I have started taking responsibility for my own happiness and things are changing, people are also getting upset by the fact that I am finally doing this. Because of their negative attitudes, I decided to cut them out of my life because that is what I needed to do. Don't be scared to hurt people, because chances are in the end you are going to feel relived.

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.

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.
