A letter to the man that didn't deserve me.

I will never understand why I wasn't good enough for you, I would've done anything for you.

A letter to the man that didn't deserve me.

In This Article:



We did this for almost 4 years, on and off. I always told people I was over you, but deep down I knew I loved you more and more every day. You made me happy and then all of sudden you just started showing me pain. I couldn't even be around you without arguing. You would get new girlfriends and bring them around me and I would have to act like I didn't care even though deep down, it crushed me. No matter what you did to me I would always love you. If it was anyone else I would push them away, but You I just couldn't. We always did this thing where we would try to be just friends, but deep down we both knew we couldn't do it because we still loved each other, but we both also knew it wasn't going to work.

I always asked myself, "why wasn't I good enough?" and I finally realized that you didn't deserve me at all. It was never me because I always made sure you were happy, I made sure you had everything you wanted, but you couldn't even love me the way I deserved. You don't even deserve this letter at all, but I have so many emotions in my heart that I just need to release.

I don't know what I did to deserve the hurt you placed upon me. I gave you nothing but love, loyalty, and respect. I never did anything that could possibly ever hurt you. I loved you, and I was there for you when you needed me. The feelings that you supposedly had for me were nothing more than a joke. I've been hurt plenty of times before, but it hurt worse coming from someone that promised that they were different.

We don't even speak anymore and I know that it is good, but there are days where I miss that stupid smile of yours, that dumb laugh and that stupid walk you had LOL. I miss you, I won't lie. I don't miss the way you treated me. I don't miss the argues, I don't miss the nights I cried over you.

I do not hate you for what you did. I thank you for helping me realize that I deserved better. I thank you for letting me go and not keeping this going. I thank you for letting me love you. I thank you for giving me someone that made me feel happy.

I wish things could've ended differently because who knows we might be friends to this day? I used to ask myself "why can't you let someone go that doesn't want anything to do with you?" and to this day I really don't know what the answer is. I wish I knew because if I would've known I probably wouldn't have waited on you for as long as I did. I was too afraid to move on because I thought maybe one day you would come back to me and we could've started over.

Now, that it has been 5 months without having you in my life I finally am happy with how my life is and how everything is going for me and my life. I wish you could see how good I am doing, but I see you have a new person in your life now. I hope that you never take them for granted. I hope you keep all the promises that you're going to make. I hope that you treat them right, love them and never lie to them. I hope that you do everything for them that you couldn't seem to make possible with me. I hope and pray that you never hurt them as you did me. I hope that they never lay in their bed at night crying, wondering what they did wrong.

Thank you for showing me that I deserve the world and nothing less. Thanks for showing me that I should never settle. Most importantly, thank you for not carrying on with the joke of making me think that you actually gave a crap about me. Also, please know that I am sorry if I broke your heart in anyway.

Lastly, I want you to know I am proud of you and "No" I do not hate you. If you ever needed me, I will be here to listen to anything you wanted to talk about. Keep being you!


I will love you forever,


Kalece

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
