An Open Letter To The Boy Who Wouldn't Stop Lying Until The Very End

I wanted to believe that you were more than your lies.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Wouldn't Stop Lying Until The Very End

Before falling in love with you I knew that you would be a challenge to love. I had heard all of the horror stories from countless girls that had known you romantically or the ones that had known you their whole life, but I wanted to believe that you were something more than the rumors people spread about you. I believed in you when it seemed that no one else had, and I still believe in you; even after you hurt me again and again.

I knew that all of your excuses were a little too convenient. I knew that your outrage whenever i asked you a question about one of your lies. You told me that it was me that was acting crazy. That I was always "assuming" things without ever actually asking about the whole story, but that was just one of your covers. A curtain that blinded me and made me feel as if I was the crazy one in our relationship.

I wanted to believe you when you told me that it wouldn't happen again, and I did countless times, but enough was enough when I found out that even your I love you's were a fable. I didn't want to believe that you continued to lie to me, even after the end. I wanted to believe that you were the perfect person for me. Even after all of the tears, the lies, and the heart break. I wanted you to be my soulmate so badly that it eventually killed me.

I lost everything I was before "Us". I lost the confidence that I had before you, because of your countless ridicule of women who were a "over weight". You would call them "Ham Planet's" or "Baby Fat's", but in reality they were all my size. I lost the faith that I had in myself that made me believe in anything anyone said to me. Everything I heard from someone knew came with a lingering suspicion of their honesty. I was left a paranoid and self conscious mess.

I know that I am not perfect. I never have been and I never will, but there is one thing that I did that you failed to do, and that was "Try." I tried to help you. I tried to encourage you to be a better person, to not say mean things the people that you judged by their cover, or to become something more than a boy who settled on lies, and I wanted you to better me too. That was rarely the case.

I know that in time this too will pass, but it doesn't change the fact that the person I had the most faith in failed me; because you decided that your pride, or your ego was more important than the feelings of the person you "loved." I know that someday I will find somebody whom would rather burn their tongue than lie to me. Someone that will never stop loving me, someone that would never make me feel as if I was the person that was the cause of all the problems in the relationship.

I will never stop believing in you. I know that you can change, even if it isn't with me. I know that someday you will find yourself and hopefully the next person you love never has to feel the sting of all your lies. I wish you the best, because that's all I ever really wanted for you. So, Goodbye my dear boy, and good luck.

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.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
