To the boy who never loved me.

First off, I want to say, you suck.

My biggest regret is not listening to everyone, how stupid could I be? Is it bad I hope you suffer? Is it bad I would rather have you in physical pain than be happy with someone else? Is it bad I hope no one ever trusts you again? If so, I'm not sorry.

The fact the you knew how vulnerable I was, and still took advantage of my emotion tells me you never cared. I'm not even sad anymore, I'm just angry. Telling someone you love them, while lying to them, does not really add up, does it?

When we first got together I felt like I was flying, I loved everything I loved my life I wanted everyone to be as happy as I did. That only lasted about a month. As soon as you got mad when I hangout with anyone but you, I started to feel that amazing feeling disappear.

Months went on and I gave my full and undivided attention to you and only you. I missed out on so much but I felt like I owed you. You made me feel guilty, like I was a bad person for living my own life without you.

The first time I caught you cheating, you said it was a misunderstanding and "I was just messing around with her, I was going to show you the messages because it was a joke" So why did I have to find them myself two months after you told this girl you had feelings for her?

I can't even count how many times I've been called crazy for being upset about emotional cheating.

"He never had sex with her, so why are you so upset?"

"That's not cheating."

But it is, and from experience, it's worse. All cheating is bad, but with emotional cheating, there are actual feeling involved rather than a one night stand or random hook ups at a party with people you might never see again.

I let this go on for almost a year I was too afraid to lose someone who didn't even love me. As much as I miss it, I would never go back to such manipulative relationship again.

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…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

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.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
