Abuse is Silent.
Start writing a post

Abuse is silent. It's deadly. It kills. It kills every happy memory and replaces them with ones filled with dread and sorrow. Abuse knows only how to ruin someone's goodness until there is nothing left. Or so it thinks...

Abuse doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care if you're the richest of the rich or the poorest of the poor. Your age, gender, race, sexual preference - none of that matters because Abuse just wants to put one more notch in its "bedpost".

It comes in many shapes, and it varies in severity. Abuse can be a physical mark left upon your body, and it can also be the most invisible of scars; never to be removed.

Abuse likes to control you. It likes to remind you constantly of what you did wrong. It likes to taunt you with happiness only to cruelly whisk it away the moment you reach for it.

It likes to overstay it's welcome. It doesn't care if it came into your life 20 years ago or 2 minutes ago; it just wants to hold on tight.


This all is true. If you've been a victim of Abuse in any way, shape, or form you know this. However, what many fail to remember is that Abuse has a foe that will slaughter it. Love. Love triumphs always. Abuse lets it's victims feel as if they're not worthy. Abuse shields us from the things we think we deserve like a goalie keeps a ball from entering the net. But Love always finds it's way.

Abuse doesn't stand a chance once Love enters.

Omnia Vincit Amor.
Love. Conquers. All.

Even Abuse.

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.
