I'm No Longer Your Tinkerbell

To the Peter Pan in my past, your absence showed me I can be anything I dream of.

I'm No Longer Your Tinkerbell

We can call this a love story, but really it was a life lesson. It taught me what I deserve. It taught me that nothing was wrong with my expectations.

I spent too much of my time being your Tinkerbell. I would do anything for you, including sacrificing myself to be there for you. I was at your every call. I would fill with angry and jealously watching you give other girls the attention that I deserve. (Which now I know it was because I wasn’t of any significance to you.)

I ask myself “why?”. Why did I sit back and feel caged? The answer was I was willing to do anything to be able to fly with you. I wanted the adventure and the thrill of experiencing life with you. When in reality I can fly on my own. For I have my own set of wings, that I did not believe in myself enough to experience.

For you were Peter Pan and I expected too much from someone who didn’t think of anyone but themselves. You were on a mission to do life with you in mind. You weren’t willing to think of others or enjoy life with someone else. For you were stuck in Neverland and unwilling to grow up. You couldn’t and wouldn’t do life without the rest of your “lost boys”.

If it wasn’t chasing an adventure it wasn’t in your plan. For I, wanted something stable and that wasn’t in your plan. You lived life day by day, without any plan of the future. I went along with it, and waiting for the minute that you decided we could converse.

I’ve learned that there is so much to life when you realize your self worth. You can do anything you want if you believe in yourself. I believed in others the way I should of believed in myself. In the end, I learned that I was capable of anything as long as I escaped from Neverland.

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.
