To The People Who Can't Love Me Back

It's fine if you can't love me, I just want you to know a few things.

To The People Who Can't Love Me Back
Tumblr

It's currently 6:42 AM. I have only slept about three hours in the past two days because of the aftermath of a party. I've just been thinking about the things that could have been recently, so I've decided to write something to the people who can't love me back.

To the people without names: I can't force you to get to know me. Although I wish I could, that's not my place in the universe. As long as I see you in someway, maybe on the street or in my dreams, I can only hope that you'll make yourself known to me.

To the people who broke my heart: It's all fine now. Sometimes I find myself growing a little nostalgic, but other than that I'm fine. Even though we both loved each other at one point in time, we both know that our failed efforts of reconnection will leave us just as broken.

To the people who hate me: Go ahead. Fling your stones, shoot your arrows, and fill me with doubt. What do I care? I will have a place for you in my heart regardless of your feelings for me.

To the people who I love: Well this is tragic. I love you but you can't love me. It sounds like a cheesy romance novel if you'd ask me. Just hear me out. You don't need to love me the way that I love you. You don't have to spend every day following me around with rose colored glasses, but it would be nice to know that we aren't through. That somehow there is a chance for the impossible to happen.

To myself: I know it's hard for you to find yourself these days. Please remember everything that has happened so far; don't forget who you are. You will find a way to love me back. Keep searching.


Now as I begin to falter back into sleep, I hope that each and every one of you take something from this. Live, Breathe; Feel.

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.
