Drowning at one a.m.

Your smell still reeking all over me.

Memories fading in and out.

Our lives black and white, no gray to see.

Gasping for air in darkness with only the light of technology.

Not caring about the outcome, just wanting to be free.

Time keeps passing by, yet it's like you're still controlling me.

Even though you're with her, you keep doing little things.


No matter how high I get I see you in my dreams.

On replay in my head, your lips against mine.

We didn't know then but it would be our first and last time.

All I can do is sit here while my head and heart just screams.

You told me "Don't mess up this time".

If you only knew how I felt back then, maybe now, we could see eye to eye.


You told me to wait.

Its been over a year.

You made your choice, even made mine.

When goodbye was out the question.

You made it clear to see.

Both of you all over Insta, as clothes less as could be.


You tried to apologize for what you did in December.

Yet you have to swallow your pride.

I cant believe you still remember.

Left me there hanging with my heart on my sleeve.

Everyone says you're so unhappy.

I don't get it.

Making memories with her, while ours stay haunting me.


She doesn't make you as happy as you're forcing it to be.

And you don't love me as much as you tried to make it seem.

I refuse to keep waiting for you aimlessly.

I just don't get why you keep doing this to me.

I pray God brings someone in my life, who will finally let me breathe.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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…

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.
