Eventually All Good Things Must Come To An End

A bittersweet realization that not every relationship can have a happily ever after.

Eventually All Good Things Must Come To An End

I started loving you when I was 15. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for bringing us together. The days we were together were bright and happy, but when I went off to college something changed—we changed. We soon became toxic for one another. Somehow the love that we shared became almost seemed nonexistent. I loved you and you loved me, but we forgot how to show one another. Don't get me wrong, I love you, with every fiber of my being, but it took losing you to find myself.

Not only were we too young to understand the damage we were doing to one another, but we couldn't understand what we were doing to ourselves. When we ended things it was the hardest thing to get through. I didn't want it to end, but I knew they had to. I was looking for happiness in places other than our relationship and how is that fair? It got to the point where I just wasn't putting in the effort and it kills me that I didn't treat you right.

It took losing you to find myself.

It took me losing you to figure out who I want to be for myself and for who I want to be for you. In a relationship there should be compromise, not ultimatums. There should be patience and trust. We were really bad at all these things simply because we were young. We were children and did not see the destruction we were causing in our relationship.

When I stepped back and thought about everything I wanted to be as a wife, I realized that's not close to who I was and I questioned why. Why do I have this idea of who I want to be and who I actually am to you? Being young and being in love is amazing and magical but growing up and being in love stings when you grow up and want different things and grow into a different person.

The problem became that I wanted a ring but got a break-up. I thought I knew what I wanted and then I started to panic. I think everything happens for a reason and sometimes love just isn't enough, especially when what you want out of life is different. It's hard to imagine life without the person I've grown up with throughout the years but eventually all good things must come to an end.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
