The One You Never Had A Chance To Meet

Would my life be different with you in it?

Knowing they should've been in your life leaves you with questions. What were they like? What would they have been if they grew up? How would they have affected me? Would we have been close? Would she have been the sister I've always wanted?

My mind always wanders back to you.

It's a strange feeling having not met someone that should've been so important in your life—the feeling of a piece missing from your family but not understanding exactly what that piece is. You don't know if you should be sad or have no feeling at all, but it is always something in the back of your mind, all the what if's.

As the ifs build, so do the possibilities. The possibilities of how they might have impacted your life. I am always left thinking about how my life could have been changed.

Can one person impact your life so much that it changes your path? What if that person is gone? Is your life forever shifted?

Being around my friend's mom, I can feel the love and connection she has for her children. With my mom, I was always annoyed thinking she's too overprotective and ridiculous. But as I get older I realize that her protective mama bear trait is so strong because she lives in fear of losing another child.

As I hear stories about her I wish I could've met her.

If I had a chance to meet you, I would have so much to say and so much to do, but now all I want to say is I wish you had a chance.

Chance to do what you want…be restricted.

Chance to love…hate.

Chance to be happy…sad.

Chance to live.

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."

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…

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

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
