His Words Do Not Make You

Negativity thrown your way doesn't define you

His Words Do Not Make You

you are so much stronger than how he makes you feel

his actions do not make you

even if they break you right now..

I know you feel so hollow but are full of so much love

so much love for this being that destroys you

that rips away your happiness, that rips away your smile, that rips away that bit of hope you had

as if you were holding a beautiful rose & all of a sudden a bitter cold wind came & took it out of your hand

just like that

you don't know why this is happening

you have never experienced this feeling of disappointment

your stomach drops and all he does is rip your heart out & spit it back at you repeatedly

you are so beautiful

you are so strong

you are whole on your own

you always have been

he doesn't want you to feel like this because he does not know who he is

so he tears everything in his path apart

just like tornados do

destroying everything in its path

you need to run far away from this tornado

you will make it, trust me you will

do not doubt yourself

you do not know how strong you are

but you will find out

when you do, you will be so thankful

you will be brand new, he can never take your happiness away ever again

no one can

first you need to see this tornado, feel how strong it is, ripping away everything, then you run from it and never look back

then the reflection in the mirror is a survivor

a survivor of your past, of your own disasters

someone who was so broken but pieced their self back together

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
