To The Boy Who Cheated On Me

Note: I said boy and not man because if you were a man you would've known better.

To The Boy Who Cheated On Me
EdgySoul

I would've never thought in a million years that you would put me through all that you put me through, but you did. Those brown eyes and that smile hid your manipulative and lying self.

I was head over heels for you.

In my eyes you could do no wrong... And man, was I mistaken.

We had some good times, at least I thought we did. At the end of the day you chose to break my heart. Apparently for you, I wasn't enough. I wasn't good enough. I gave you my all. I was good to you. I gave you the world.

I had plenty of guys who wanted to be with me yet I chose to stay with you. When I look back to what we had, I know that I should've ended things with you sooner or I should've never given you the time of day in the first place.

I'm a simple person, the littlest things make me the happiest. All I wanted was for you to let people know that I was your girlfriend. You couldn't do that one thing for me.

It seemed as if everything I did for you was not enough. I gave my heart to you and expected the same in return but I guess that was too much to ask, huh? I wanted you to love me as much as I loved you.

But hey, if what we had was love it would've never failed, right?

In the Bible it clearly states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

I can't remember times that you made me smile. I can only remember the times that you made me cry. That's not love. You'd never take the blame anyway.

So many people were noticing all that you were putting me through and telling me but I didn't listen. I was stupid. I look back and wish I could smack some sense into myself.

With all that being said I want you to know that I forgive you. I forgive you, not because you deserve it, but because I do.

I've learned what I deserve, how strong I am, how much love I have to go, and most importantly... To let go.

Thank you for cheating on me. Thank you for breaking my heart. Thank you for making me realize my worth.


God only knows how much I did for the wrong person.

I can only imagine what I'll do for the right person.

I'm ready and I hope he is too.

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.
