To The Person Who Cares Too Much, You Are NOT Weak
Gina Kuroda

Dear whoever you are,

I am right there with you. You are the type of person who is described as selfless but also overreacting. You are the person that will go out of their way to make someone happy when you know they might not deserve it. You might also be the person who gets attached too easily, even to TV characters, but that does not make you a weak person.

On the other hand, you are stronger than most. Having such a big heart can be deceiving because as much as you care about people, you learn a lot about those around you. You can see right through those who probably do not have the best intentions, but you do not care. You only want to see the good in people.

This is the best quality you have, and people know this about you, therefore it is easy to be taken advantage of. You are the person your friends come to when they need something because you are always more than happy to help, but they are hardly there when you just want to talk. At the same time, they hardly appreciate it and do not realize what your friendship means.

Only those with the same heart as you understand what it’s like to constantly give people second chances even though you know you are going to get hurt. You look past people’s imperfections with hope that they will care about you as much as you care about them.

Friendships aside, relationships are even worse. You become the partner who will do anything for the one you are with. Therefore, heartbreak is foreshadowed.

But because of these heartbreaks, you become stronger. You never stop caring about others, but you do learn to be the person who cares but is also strong.

A person who will always put others’ needs before your own and will always genuinely care about how a person’s day is going, is rare nowadays. Cherish your gift and never let anyone tell you that you are wrong for caring because they do not know what it is like to love someone dearly and living in disappointment because our expectations are never met.

Celebrate this gift you have because as much as it is a blessing and curse, your actions towards others makes this world a better place. You are the type of person that one day, if you have not already, will make an impact in someone's life and hopefully the world as whole.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
