The Boy I Loved Turned Me Toxic, But Not Anymore

Thank you for nothing; I'm finally giving up on you.

People are like drugs—some are good for you, and others are the killers. If you have a big heart like me, you're going to let anyone walk over you time after time again.

It'll never be easy walking away from the boy you swear you love. You're so obsessed with the thought of being happy, it's making you toxic.

For the last two years, I let this boy destroy me piece by piece. He tore apart my self-confidence, my happiness wasn't the same, and my friendships slowly vanished.

I believed that he used to make me happy when everything was perfect in the honeymoon stage. I was still in high school when he was just going into the Marines. I was ready to commit, and basically be with him for the rest of my life.

It was crazy how young I was when I thought I knew what I wanted. I was sixteen saying I couldn't wait to be married, have a family, and be perfectly grown.

But now, I have so much to say to him.

You cheated on me like I was nothing. Was I not good enough for you? You hated the thought of being alone, so you destroyed it yourself.

You pushed me away. You made me crazy. You made me hate myself. I blame you for doing this.

I never did you wrong.

I always did everything to benefit you. I stayed faithful to you. I lost friends for YOU. But while I was doing everything for you, you were too worried about your next lay.

So now, I'm too worried about getting you the hell out of my life.

You have a new girlfriend now, yet you still tell me you love me. I asked you if you loved her, and you told me no. But yet you're telling her you love her.

That proves that you're a weak person, who has to rely on people around him, just to keep yourself happy.

And I am so happy. I am no longer your puppet.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
