An Open Letter To My Worn Down Heart

I know your tired, and worn, and torn, but you will make it.

An Open Letter To My Worn Down Heart

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I thought I'd write a letter to my heart.

Dear heart,

You know what you want. I know what you want. But we both know we don't always get what we want. So please stop confusing your wants with your needs because it is only causing a mess for you in the end.

Sometimes I wish that you could love like all the other girls your age, why do you have to love so strongly? Why if you feel something does is take complete control over you. When you're sad, you can't just be sad. You are destroyed and upset, and sometimes I just don't know how to help you. I wish you could find a puppy love relationship like other girls, but you like real, and deep relationships and I mean I can't blame you. It's basically my fault. So let's just hold off until something great comes around.

You have been shattered and slowly been put back together time after time but the people are using school glue when they need to be using gorilla glue, and I feel like if you break one more time you just might not make it. So for me, could you please just let go of the things you create in your mind, and let go of the people who are no good, and search just a little bit harder for more of God because he is all you really need to become one again. I see you trying so hard to be happy, when genuinely happy was never an option for us. I am so glad that you have began to learn your worth, and you no longer settle for boys who you know are only going to hurt you in the end.

It's been great watching you grow bigger and bigger, and going from so cold to so cozy. You have been doing a lot of good things to help stay whole. It makes me sad because I know you try so hard to do your best at everything, and even then it's sometimes not enough. You haven't been at your best in a long time, but just the effort you put in is incredible.

I know your tired, and worn, and torn, but you will make it and life will be great one day. Don't ever give up, until the day I die. ;)

Sincerely, Your Person

XOXO Mic

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
