I Have Been Heartbroken Before, But Confusion Makes It Worse

Confusion does not help heal a broken heart.

I Have Been Heartbroken Before, But Confusion Makes It Worse

It hurts when you get your heart broken. It hurts when you see the person you care about so much with someone else. It hurts when you want the best for someone, but you possibly could have been the best for them. It hurts when you feel homesick, but for a person. What hurts the most is when you know how you feel but you cannot put it into words.

It seems so simple to say how you feel but when you go to talk, no words come out. Being confused whether I actually have feelings for someone or if it is just a phase, is what gets me. Another thing that gets me is opening up to someone. I fear that I will open up to someone and they will get scared, so their decision is to leave.

You can feel a connection with a person all you want. People can tell you how good you two are together. Everyone can say they see it, but if you do not see it then it feels like there isn’t a point. Trying to see what everyone else says they see is like trying to pick someone out of a crowd, you say you see them but in reality, you do not see anything.

Being confused about how I feel about somebody has me in a state of anxiety at all times. What makes it worse is when you both have a past together, so you start to see signs you saw in the beginning. You feel like the signs are the same but you do not know how to react. It feels like you are walking on eggshells because you do not want to say or do the wrong thing. You do not want to overstep boundaries and you also do not want it to seem like you are interested.

While you feel that all the answers are right in front of you, it still is confusing on which one to choose. You do not want to pick the wrong one and ruin something that could possibly happen. Then there is the problem that you could pick another one and things are rushed. So you are stuck in a position where you feel like you cannot pick anything.

People come and go, some as they please and others, how I please. We never really know how long people will be in our lives. There have been times where I feel that some people are meant to be in my life forever, but then they show their true colors. While I am confused of the situations I am placed in with some people, they have made me a stronger person.

While I know that there is a reason why people are in my life, I wish I knew the exact reason.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
