If You Say You Love Me Then Why Are You With Her?

How am I supposed to feel knowing you're falling for her? A week ago you said you loved me. One week, 7 days. That's all it was. You're living together now, and you're having twins. I'm happy for you really I am but how am I to feel knowing you're living what was to be our life with her? You tell me we're too different but what if we just never saw the similarities? What if you chose me not her? She wants to meet me, I wonder what you've told her about me, about us. Am I made out to be that ex she's gonna hate? Or did you paint me how I am, just lost and trying to heal from your bruises. You left marks upon me that emotionally I question if I will return from.

Will I ever be whole again or am I just living to keep my heart beating? Is it me who was at fault or was it that life just got in our way? I hate asking the what if's of us but I can't sleep knowing your lying next to her. You say you love me but how much of that is just a show? We both know that we never would have worked out, you were toxic and I was young.

I wanted to finish school first but you wanted to live in the now. What if I gave up everything for you as you wanted? Then what, where would we be now? I regret a lot of things in life and you used to be one of them, not anymore. You taught me lessons I never should have learned but I'm glad I did.

I know now what I deserve and what love really is, it is not what we were or what we are. I guess you got what you wanted with her. I just hope you treat her better than you treated me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
