An Open Letter To God

Everything happens for a reason right?

An Open Letter To God
PEXELS

Dear God,

I’m not even exactly sure what to say, I wish things were different. I wish I wasn’t writing this from the place that I am, this place of hurt and darkness. Looking for someone to blame for all the bad in the world, all the pain in my life. Seeking hopelessly for some form of answer for some guidance, only to be left alone in the dark.

Life doesn’t make sense, like at all. I find myself trying to make sense of things that simply can’t be explained. It’s overwhelming, this feeling of hopelessness and longing for answers. Its tiring, trying to do good, to do better, to be happy, and just to live. Sometimes I am too tired, and I just can’t really do it. Sometimes, I even think maybe you will respond, maybe I will get some help some guidance. Those are the worst days, sitting, thinking that maybe you will help.

Sometimes I feel like I can’t get it right, that nothing I do is working. Nothing can fix the broken pieces that I have become, can bring me out of the dark spiral that I have swirled down. But then I remember all the good, all of the blessings that do surround me each and every day. The truly special people that have come into my life, the people that have built me up on my darkest days. I remember all of those things, those things are the fuel to the good. The fuel to the power that forces us to keep going. In the event of your absence, I look to the simple blessings for help.

There are so many things I am afraid I will never understand. But maybe that is how it is supposed to be, we are not supposed to understand it all. Although many things are not meant to be understood many valuable lessons can come from those things. When you throw the curveballs, and the hardships, it teaches strength and endurance. Teaches us to love so incredibly deeply, to treasure each moment. I’m not even sure I completely believe in you to be honest, but I do know that there must be a reason for everything that happens. But if you are really out there, I would love a little extra happiness, and maybe little more love in my life please.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
