An Open Letter To Myself: Move On
Quotefancy

Dear me,

What's going on? You have priorities and you have goals. I know you. I know you want things and yet here you are, all wrapped up in your fantasies, over a guy that you liked during your senior year of high school. Really?

What's wrong with you?

You're in college. You should've moved on. He doesn't like you. He never did and we both know that. Okay, I'll give you some slack. You didn't know for sure. But to be fair, you could have. You could've taken initiative, you could've asked him out, hell, you've literally annoyed the crap out of your friends to seek what limited advice they had since both of them were single.

Just move on.

For some reason, you actually hoped that somehow he felt the same toward you. So what if he told you that he liked one of your poems? So what if he doesn't ignore you when you text him despite the fact that he's totally fed up with you? So what if he liked a few things on Facebook? He was just being nice! He probably felt sorry for you. I don't know why you didn't have any problems back then, or did you?

Move on.

Couldn't you read the signs? You started the conversations mostly. You asked him to homecoming, only to find that he was taking someone else. You asked him to play a duet with you on an upcoming recital only to have him turn you down. Youcould've asked him to go to prom, too, but you assumed, like last time, that he'd take someone else. But instead, he was watching "Titanic" alone on a Saturday night.

Move on.

Senior year is over. High school is done. He moved elsewhere. He's going to college. He's serving his mission. He obviously has priorities of his own. You cease to exist.

Move on.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
