Dear beautiful people,

Have you ever noticed how carefully you tread? Each and every step, word, and action carefully thought out in hopes of appeasing the one who was supposed to love you unconditionally. Nothing you do is for you. Every move is made like that of a chess game because you don't want to anger the beast.

The relationship has spiraled so far out of control you can't even remember what a loving word or touch is like from them. You try so hard to make it work, not because you want to or even for love but because you feel stuck. You feel as if there is no escape and you have nowhere to turn. You may even feel like you deserve it. Like everything that is said and done to you is just another reason as to why don't deserve happiness and love.

But I am here to say that you do deserve love and happiness. You did nothing wrong and if you want to escape the tallest tower in the castle you can find a way. Everyone deserves a happily ever after, but never at the expense of someone else's.

I know some of you always put others before yourself. Now is the time to do the exact opposite. Because you deserve to be put first. So even when you feel alone or as if there is no hope, just know that you have someone in your corner. You have someone cheering you on as you fight your battle.

You are a warrior and you are strong.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
