To the boy who loved the girl without an identity

To the boy who loved the girl without an identity

To start this off I wanted to say thank you,

Thank you for loving me when I didn't love myself.

Thank you for loving me when I was trying to figure out who I truly was.

Thank you for loving me when I fell apart time after time.

Thank you for loving me for me.

I never thought someone could love me when I didn't even know how to love myself. I struggled every day with my looks on the outside and who I was in the inside. I went through many struggles but honestly who doesn't go through things? I thought I was crazy because I didn't know who Alexis was.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

I remember the first time we talked. Of course it was through Facebook because now a days everyone starts talking through social media. We talked for probably three days and he knew more than my ex-boyfriend that I dated for two years did. He told me thinks he never told anyone and we never even met.

That first time we met I will never forget. Mainly because it was the first time I actually felt alive. I was able to let loose, not worry about what others thought and all I was doing was laughing. That night we started dating. Yes I know, first time you met him you guys started dating? For me you'll know if it feels right and if it does why wait?

It was the best decision because as we were learning more about each other every day. Our friendship and relationship was growing stronger and stronger.

It's one thing to love someone, it's another to have someone support your dreams and help you chase them.

We've been dating for over two years now. During this time I am finally figuring out who I am. I am a strong woman who knows what she wants to do with her life. He did not tell me what to do but he helped me by listening to me and supporting every decision I made.

I don't think I could ever tell him how much I appreciate him. There are days that I catch myself just staring at him and thank god because I don't know where I would be without him.

Relationships should not be about just lust. It should be about growing independently and together at the same time.

Find someone who accepts your past, supports your present and encourages your future!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
