To The Person Who Cares Too Much

Care too little, you will lose them. Care too much, you will get hurt.

To The Person Who Cares Too Much

It’s not your fault.

You probably wonder why you are the way you are, you wonder why you care too much about the littlest things. You wonder why you worry about things that may not matter to others and often the smallest words could upset you. It’s not your fault. Your heart is gold. Your soul is pure. You are the type of person the world desperately needs. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You are so full of love, no matter how many pieces you may break into, that love never stops.

You pour your heart out to people because you wish to see people happy. You wish to remind people that they are loved. People will tell you that this is your weakness, you caring too much, and loving too much. But those same people will end up taking advantage of it. It’s not your fault that you can’t help but care about everyone and everything. You can’t help but tell people to always be safe if they’re out late. It’s not your fault that you tend to ask people if they are okay. Even if you aren’t okay yourself. But you don’t care if no one asks you. You don’t care if people don't make the effort to make you laugh or smile the way you make the effort. It’s your natural instinct to help anyone in need, to make them smile and laugh; not because you believe it’s your duty as a human, but because you find happiness in doing so.

You could be broken in pieces but when you hear and see someone laugh because of you those broken pieces don’t matter to you. You believe that there’s nothing more amazing than making someone else smile and laugh. This love that you are so filled with is a gift from God. You putting your heart and soul in caring about others, and loving the people that least deserve it, despite this you believe that those are the people that truly need love.

Despite you finding happiness in loving people, and making them happy, sometimes when it’s 3AM and you’re so broken from people stepping all over you. You can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with you. Because despite the situations you put yourself in, the effort you make to keep people happy, each time you end up heartbroken. But you can’t stop. You can’t ever stop caring about people can you? You spend your nights often thinking about this, wondering why you are like this. So when you end up in this situation you wish to be heartless, and you wish to be given the ability to not care.

Yet, this never happens does it? So to the girls out there that go through this I hope you remember these words by me; you are so strong and beautiful for the way you are. You are so special and precious you don’t even know my love. You have the ability to love the most broken, messed up humans, you have the ability to find happiness in other people's happiness even if they do not return the same love and happiness. Don’t question this. You may believe this is your weakness, but in reality it is your strength. The ability to never go cold or heartless on humans, because you believe that everyone needs love and happiness in their lives, and you are the perfect person to spread that love and happiness.

I hope you continue to do so. Don’t ever let anyone change this aspect of you. Don’t ever let someone tell you this is your weakness. We need people like you in the world, don’t let another broken human tell you that you shouldn’t care or you should love less because this world is cold and no one cares. Instead, love them, and show them that it’s okay. That it’s okay to let someone love them. Show them that you care. Show them it’s okay to be happy. Show them that loving and spreading happiness is your strength. I hope you continue to love the way you do, I hope you always care about others the way you do. This is the most beautiful thing about you.

Always remember that.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
