An Open Letter To The Boy Who Couldn't Love Me

It's time for me to let go.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Couldn't Love Me
Daniel Nanescu | Splitshire

I’m sorry. I can’t imagine what it’s like to feel absolutely nothing. It must be a cold, painful existence. I truly feel bad that you might never know what it’s like to look at someone and wish nothing more than to make them happy for the rest of their life. I hope that someday you will. I hope that you find someone that makes you feel the way I have felt for you. I don’t understand why you’re so mad at life. You hold so much anger and I hope that you might be relieved of that someday.

I truly loved you. I gave you everything I had and then some. I understand that you couldn’t do that for me. I get that somewhere, deep inside, you’ve been hurt by something, maybe someone. Maybe it’s the horror you’ve seen. I’m sorry for the things that have damaged you. I wish I could make it better, and I would if you would let me, but you won’t. I almost wish you had never told me of the devastation and terror you had to experience just a few years ago. I carry it with me every day.

I understand that you can’t give me your heart. I fought for it for so long and now I’m tired. I’m sorry I can’t do it any longer. I know that under the rugged exterior and the acting, you’re a decent human being with a heart. You care about people, even if you won’t act like it. You’re vulnerable, but so are all of us. I wish you would stop pretending to be such a jerk. We could have been so great, but I understand that you are unable to see any potential. I understand that you might have wanted to be with me at some point, but you just can’t.

I’m afraid I won’t be around when you finally figure out what you need. I simply can’t continue to damage myself trying to be there for you. I care, and I probably always will, but I can no longer worry about you. I have spent so many nights crying about the vicious things you say to me, and nobody is worth the pain you’ve shadowed me in. My whole year was consumed with days of wondering if I’d get to talk to you, wondering if you actually liked me that day, wondering when, not if, we would start fighting. It has mentally and emotionally exhausted me.

I just want to ask one thing of you; please, please let me move on. I can’t handle this back and forth anymore. So please don’t text me. Please don’t call me. If you see me, don’t say hello. Just let me forget you exist. Let me forget the way it felt to be next to you. If you ever felt anything for me, understand this is what I need. I wish you only the best.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
