I was angry. I was hurting. I was broken down and I felt like I couldn't bring myself up.

I thought I wasn't good enough for anyone.

I would never wish for someone to be cheated on. It is probably the worst emotional pain anyone could ever feel.

I felt betrayed.

My trust was out the door.

My heart was breaking into millions of pieces.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

I kept asking myself, "why?" over and over repeatedly.

After some time, a long, long time, I finally answered that why. That relationship wasn't supposed to work. That relationship was TOXIC and I knew I didn't deserve to be treated that way. And I knew I didn't deserve for it to happen REPEATEDLY.

Yes, I had my moments to where I was "crazy" but I simply couldn't trust him! I had my reasons and examples as to why I couldn't.

I've asked myself in the past, "why in the heck did I not leave then?" It would've saved so much heartache from happening, I would've had more time with my family and friends, and living my life in high school. But to be truthful, it was a good lesson learned. God wanted me to learn this lesson so I could learn my worth.

But thank you to the guy that cheated on me, I am so glad you did.

Like no, really, thank you.

Because of you, I met the REAL man God set me out to be with. Because of you, I now know my worth and I know how I should be treated.

I know what I deserve and how I deserve way more.

I'm the happiest I've ever been. I found a guy who DESERVES me and who I want to spend the rest of my life with. To also know he wants to spend the rest of his life with me as well is a remarkable feeling.

I am so glad you cheated on me because it opened up my eyes.

I grew up into a woman that I thought I'd never become. I am now with the man of my dreams!

I figured out what I want to do with my life with the man I love more than myself. Who would never dare hurt me and I TRUST that he wouldn't. This true love I have with my significant other taught me how to trust a man again. He has shown me how much I mean to him and how unconditional his love is for me.

Thank you for cheating on me because now, I'm in a LONG-LASTING, HEALTHY relationship going on three years! It's funny how things work out.

Being with the love of my life, he knocked down all the walls and barriers I had built up. He was like a breath of fresh air. He made me feel like I could breathe again after drowning myself in worry, doubt and negative thoughts. He has shown me my worth and what I truly deserve.

Thank you ex, thank you for driving me away so I could be with the man whom my heart loves and belongs to.

Was being cheated on a good lesson learned?

Yes. Because I know how much more I deserve.

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…

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.
