A picture is worth a thousand words

Today, I was doing household chores. I got a little warm wearing a long sleeve so I went to my side of the closet. This is strange because I am always in my boyfriends clothes. Always. I was looking for a particular shirt that must've still been dirty. Just before I turned to his side, I saw this. One of his favorite shirts of mine. I teared up. Flash backs from our time together filled my mind.

I've heard the saying "pictures are worth a thousand words" so many times, but today it had meaning. As I had a replay of all our moments in my mind, I thought of how lucky I was. I got to do this with my favorite person. I got to think about how once I spent the night at his house, I never went back to mine. I got memories of basketball games, many vacations, dinners, tv episodes watched, and late night hardees runs. I thought about how far I've came in the past year. I was so unhappy and stuck. I was not myself.

Since this man has come into my life, I've been able to work on myself so much. He is the most supportive and loving person I could ask for. He is helpful, dedicated and strong. He is truly my rock and my go-to. He has never let me down and I hope he knows how much I love him.

This picture is worth a thousand words. It's worth so much more. It's worth building a home and a life for. It's reminding me that true love is out there. It's reminding me that no matter what, I'm never alone in this.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
