To The Guy That Made Many Promises, But Couldn’t Commit

Instead of dealing with your emotions you just ran and put up a wall.

To The Guy That Made Many Promises, But Couldn’t Commit

We were never really friends - there was always something more, and we both knew that. We've known each other for a while now, and you slowly gained my trust. We were constantly flirting and being cute, but I held back cause I thought it would never work. But you continued to pursue me, and I would always keep my distance. Until recently when I let my guard down.

It all happened pretty fast, but we went for it. We knew this would only be temporary, but we made promises to each other. Promising to always treat each other fairly and always be there for the other. We agreed to live in the moment and cherish every day we had together. We spent all the time we could together and it the little things that seemed to matter. We just wanted to be with each other and that was what important.

I truly thought we were happy, but maybe I was wrong. In a matter of days, everything changed, and I really didn't see it coming. I could tell something was up, but I wasn't sure what had happened. One day you were telling me how happy you were and the next you were ignoring me. Pushing me away with no explanation. You no longer looked at me in the same way, and that broke me. Instead of dealing with your emotions you just ran and put up a wall. When I tried to be there for you wouldn't let me in. The part I don't understand is you always said you didn't want me to overthink and be stress.

But then you let me blame myself for your problems. You couldn't even end it properly. I was the one who had to ask what was going on and what changed. You just send a simple text to end it saying you were falling too hard and that feelings were liabilities. You couldn't deal with it, so you let me break. You made it very clear that you needed me in your life but just as a friend. Now you can't understand why it's hard for me to just see you as a friend. We don't even know how to be friends, and I need time to still heal.

The truth is maybe I should have seen the red flags, but I was too transfixed on what I thought we had. But you were the one who could never be honest and still isn't honest. I want to believe you but I just can't anymore. I still sometimes wonder the real the reason it ended, but I've accepted the fact that you will never be open enough to let me know. Even though it still hurts sometimes, I've become a stronger person from all of this. I've gained more strength than you can even imagine and I'm done blaming myself for your insecurities.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
