Betryal At It's Finest

This goes out to everyone who has ever been betrayed.

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.

The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your friends. Unfortunately, one of the crucial lessons I've had to learn the hard way is that, sometimes, the person you would take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.

This is to the person that I trusted for years; the one who made all of the wrong choices in just a blink of an eye. This is also for all of those who can relate.

Trust is a sacred thing that many take for granted. No matter how much you trust someone, it could be demolished in only a short amount of time. It doesn't matter if you try to see the brightside of the situation because the darkness will always overcast upon it. What also doesn't matter one single bit is everything they used to say because who knows if it was even true. Who knows if anything they said was true.

You would like to think that you knew them but what they did makes that a very hard notion to conceive. I bet you are wondering why they did it. Why they let a small ounce of power take over them and turn them into everything they said they would never be. But I guess both you and I will never know. Some people's motives just don't make sense, no matter how you decide to look at them. That is the hardest part.

The second hardest part is pouring pieces of yourself into someone that decided to throw all of that away the first chance they got. Every personal story, every secret, everything you have ever done for them; meaningless.

I wish I could take it all back. I wish I had guarded myself better and I wish I had read the clear-cut signs that I chose to ignore. Knowing there was a slim possibility that I could have avoided this entire catastrophe kills me. This is a lose-lose situation because a part of me wants to go back to how everything was but the other part never wants to be so blind ever again.

Just know, things will never ever be the same again.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
