Losing A Pet - A Letter To Lilo

Dear Lilo,

29
Losing A Pet - A Letter To Lilo
Alexandra Donoso

They say time heals all wounds, but I say it simply lessens the pain because it is only getting us closer to each other.

Today, It has been a year since you left this world, and our love is still the same. They say time flies, and right now it just seems like time is dragging us all to where we hope we all see each other again.

Memories are inevitable because they are the only thing that is immortal -- everything else is fragile and most certainly, temporary. But memories are also bittersweet, because if we are holding on to them, it probably means that in some way, we faced loss.

Loss, hearing that word makes me shiver. It is loss what most of us are afraid of; but then again, we all face it. We fear to open the floodgates of sadness, so we hold on tight to our happy thoughts, hoping that we never lose them in the way. But mostly it is loss and sadness that teaches us about the worth of things, the worth of life.

As humans, we feel pain when we lose our loved ones, some may think it is an exaggeration when we say that the loss of a pet feels the same way, but how similar it is because losing you has been of the hardest lessons I ever had to learn.

And even though I can’t do anything to change the fact hat you are not here, I promise you I will never let our memories die, because as long as I live you will live, inside my heart. I will keep showering myself with the immortality of those memories that constantly make smile.

When the time is right, I will step out of the darkness, and meet you in the light. Meanwhile, my love for you will stay intact, and I won’t give up on that. There is no day in my life that I don’t think about you, my little guardian angel.

What are you doing today in heaven? Send me a shooting star.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
