You never expect that everything you had grown accustomed to would change at the drop of a dime. Spending two years of your life with someone seems like such a small chunk of your life when you look back in time. Although it seems short, there is nothing that can describe the hurt you feel when it all ends and its not on your terms. Life seems to become harder when the person you thought was your life... leaves.

To the Girl Whose Life Was Turned Upside Down,

You are more than enough and eventually someone will see the stars in your eyes and hang on tight. Your world is not defined by the love that another person once gave you. You are capable of amazing things and your beauty shines brighter than you could have ever imagined. For so long you defined yourself through a boy who did not share the same idea of the future as you, and that's okay. You will be okay, It may seem like your world is crumbling, and it may be the demolition of one part of your world, but not your whole world. You will triumph and the victory will be sweet.

So, Hold your head high and remember these three things:

1. The world has not stopped but instead it is just beginning for your new adventures

Believe in yourself and the amazing things that you can accomplish. You are the only person who can define your life, and do not allow this minor set back to have a negative impact on your major comeback. There is a world worth exploring out there, go and tackle all of it.

2. Your beauty runs deep

It is hard to imagine your beauty when you feel like you have been deserted, but I promise you that you are beautiful in every way imaginable. You can not allow this boy to define who you are because he is not the one if he feels the need to change who you are, Your beauty runs deeper than anything he could dream of changing you into.

3. Let go and live a little

It is okay to move on and to find happiness in things that are not this boy, you are allowed to make your own decisions without fear of his opinion, Allow yourself this freedom and the sooner you will be able to find yourself and who you are without interference from him.

It will not be easy, and it will take time, but the view is worth the climb. I believe in you, and now the next step is to believe in yourself.

sincerely,

The girl who has worn your shoes and walked the path you're on.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
