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

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.
