Its hard letting you go. If I am honest I didn’t want to and I still don’t want to. Breaking up with you is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I am still crazy in love with you, and I think that part of me always will be. However, I know that it is better for the both of us that we aren’t together right now. You need to focus on yourself, and I need to focus on myself. We both made mistakes and we both need to fix things in ourselves before we can be an adequate partner to someone else. I think honestly, I was ready to be a girlfriend and for that I am sorry. I think we should have spent more time as friends, gotten to know each other on a deeper level, and then if we were both ready then we could have started dating. Who knows if that would have changed the outcome of now, I just can’t help but think maybe it could have.

I know that you would probably say that this was all my fault, and a week ago maybe I would have agreed. However, I now know that it took two to get us in this situation and it’s on both of us that we are broken up. I am sorry for all the ways that I hurt you, but I need you to know that you hurt me also. You might not think you did, but you did. I wish you saw that, because if you did again, maybe things would be different between the two of us now. Again, we will never know but I can’t help but think. I do need you to take responsibility for the hurt you caused, but I am not going to lose sleep over this because I’d lose a bit too much.

Now I need to make this clear, I am not mad at you and I hope that we can remain friends. You were the man that I thought I was going to marry. I had so much of our life planned out and now that over, but that’s okay because there are better things out there for the both of us. And if I am honest, you never know what will happen with us. We aren’t right for each other now but later we could be. I don’t think I will lose hope but I am also not going to hold onto that. I am going to try to move on and I think you need to also although, if we find our way back to each other than there we go. Please know this, take this with you always; I want nothing more than for you to be happy always. You deserve nothing less than that. I also hope that you don’t need a woman to make you happy you can do that all on your own.

With love always,

Your (ex) Princess

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
