I met you on November 10th 2015 and we started dating on April 28th 2016.

We broke up twice but officially broke up in March of 2018.

Not a day goes by where I don't think about you. Trust me when I say this.

I did not want our relationship to end in the first place but it was toxic for both of us. As much as we tried fixing things, we weren't getting anywhere and all we did was argue more and more.

It was always hard being away from you, seeing you once a month or once every couple of months. They say "amor de lejos es amor de pendejos" but the love we had for each other made the distance worth it. At the end we knew we would see each other and be together.

Things got rough after our break up, although we said we'd continue as friends we both knew it would be hard for the both of us.

We shared so many memories, good and bad, where we laughed and we cried.

Our love wasn't accepted by some. That didn't stop us from seeing each other.

I was able to be myself with you, I never had to worry about you thinking bad about me because you were just as weird as I am.

You were so goofy, so funny, so different (in a good way obviously).

You made me happy, you made me feel loved, you helped me love myself.

You were my partner in crime, LITERALLY! I got my first speeding ticket with you *laughs nervously*

I know you think that I wanted to change you, but I never wanted to change you as a person. I was just trying to help you realize that some of the people you were hanging out with weren't good people to have around you. I was trying to keep you safe, keep you healthy, keep you on this earth with me by my side!

I wish you would realize I just wanted what was best for you!!

Anytime I heard something bad about you, back then and now, it would break my heart.

People don't know you the way I did.

You're not a bad person,

It's September 11th, 2019, it breaks my heart to see how things have gone downhill.

But no matter what you've done, what people say, nothing will change the fact that I will always love you.

I'm praying for you.

Lastly, just know that I will always be here for you, and you will ALWAYS be in my heart.

I wish you the best in life.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
