A Letter To My Boyfriend's Ex

I'll start by saying that I don't think that you are a bad person by any means. I think that you have made many mistakes in your past that you need to learn from, however. You were once a huge part of my boyfriend's life, and I respect that.

There are parts of him that he learned from you, both good and bad. I understand how difficult it is to let go of someone that you once loved, and that loved you back. I've been there, it's not fun. However, here's the thing. He's not yours anymore for a reason. I'm tired of this game you play everyday hoping that the things you say will somehow tear him away from me. What exactly are you expecting to gain from this? The pain of hurting someone else and pushing your ex further away? Each and everytime your name pops up on his phone, you look more pathetic than you did before. To him and to me.

Move on.

Find the love in someone else that I've found in your ex that you failed to appreciate while it was there. I appreciate him each and everyday. You had your chances, yet you took advantage of the kind person he is instead. A person can only take so much until they walk away. I'm so glad he made that choice. Go be happy on your own, and stop trying to tear what we have apart. You may feel like I am your "replacement", but no, I am simply someone who is better with him than you were. I am not your enemy, nor someone who is with him for the wrong reasons. I promise to make him feel loved everyday, since I hope that's what you would want.

Now go leave him alone and find the love of your life. He is out there, I promise. Move on.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
