I Tried To Fix A Broken Man And He Broke Me In Return

I thought it would be all rainbows and butterflies, but it wasn't.

I Tried To Fix A Broken Man And He Broke Me In Return
Marissa Hall

About a year ago I wrote about a boy that I was in love with, a boy that had my heart.

That boy was very broken, broken beyond repair. As a healing soul, I tried to fix him. Fixing a broken man usually ends one of two ways, he heals or he breaks you. My broken man broke me and now I'm saying something.

Broken guys will break you.

You can't fix him, you will never be able to fix him. When I met this guy, I knew that he was going to have an impact on my life. He swooped in and made me feel special. He kissed me, in a hotel room, at a conference the day before we separated for spring break. I gave up everything for him, changing my schedule to accommodate him. I did everything to make him feel like a man, ultimately making myself look like a fool. I was blind in love, not realizing that I was a ghost of the girl I wanted to be. In the end, he walked away, after I did everything to help him become whole. I was broken.

We blocked each other on social media. Pictures were deleted. Feelings were deleted.

We were ghosts of each other's past. I had to piece myself back together again. I tried to get back into the dating scene, but it hasn't gotten very far. It's been almost a year and neither of us has been in a relationship. It gives me an evil sense of joy knowing that he isn't breaking another girl like he broke me. He, however, thinks I am a witch who put a voodoo spell on his love life.

Karma has a way of taking care of those who have done wrong. He broke me, when all I wanted to do was fix him. Now, we are both whole. He will not be breaking another girl again, as he is no longer broken.

Broken guys will only break you. Do not try to fix what is already broken.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
