Thank You For Walking Away

You chose something that made absolutely no sense, but that means I didn't have to.

You walked away and that meant - that I didn't have to. You took my nephew but he will grow up knowing and hating what you did to him. The same thing your father did to you, you did to yourself. You were once my best friend, once someone I went to for everything. I vented to you, laughed with you, smiled with you and now, because of things you left unsaid, those don't get to happen anymore.

I was hurt, but now I'm over being hurt. I'm more mad and annoyed. After the hours you spent in premature labor. The fact you almost died and him too - you walked away. But let's not forget about the countless times you've walked away before so we knew this was coming. You took the status of being a goddparent away from both of us, for what? To make someone you BARELY knew a caretaker of your child if you were suddenly taken from this world, both you and your boyfriend.

But, I also want to thank you for walking away. You did something I didn't have to do. I already had figured you'd go and that's okay with me. I'm not missing anything important. I will still move forward with my life because I have to and because that's what right. I can't stay in the past. Don't call me if you need something because I refuse to be there for you anymore.

You should of known everything you would of lost. Thank you for making a choice I didn't have to. I'm the bad guy? What about the person who took her son from her family? What about the person who took the choice of godparents away from FOUR people? What kind of a person are you? You must be the glory of God if I'm such a horrible person.

Thank you for walking away. Thank you for choosing the best decision for the both of us - all of us. Thank you for choosing what you thought was right even though it was ridiculous and uncalled for. I'll never understand you and I will never want to.

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.
