For the past couple of days, I have been struggling with coming up with what to say because well, there is so much I can say. It’s about time I tell you how I feel about you. I may state it every single day through text or when I see you but, often I really have a hard time in showing it. The reason why is not because of me but, my anxiety surrounding the experiences I have had. You help me deal with my anxiety every single day, it is not an easy task yet you continue to help me overcome it and the many obstacles that would have only held me back.

I know it must become annoying and frustrating at times but, it means a lot to me that I could tell you anything, and you are still very much there for me, good to me, and helpful. I don’t feel like we just share a relationship but, that we have a friendship. This friendship happens to be one of the few things I look forward to always having in this world, and it happens to be both priceless and meaningful. I’m not so good with sharing my feelings with anyone because of my experiences with people but, somehow with you it is not the same. I love you with all of my heart and would very much love for you to know how much I appreciate you.

Each day you bring joy and happiness into my life and it doesn’t matter how crappy of mood we are each in, you never not aid me in feeling great about myself or cheering me up after a depressing day. I hope I make you feel the way that you make me feel. Words can’t really describe what its like being yours and you, mine. When we smile at each other, I instantly feel this romantic, passionate connection and spark.


Most people make love a gender thing however, it is much more than that. Body parts have nothing to do with the heart. I love you for who you are inside and out. I don’t care what part you have, I care about how you feel about me. You’ve played a huge role in changing my mindset about those around me. If others don’t accept me for who I am at my happiest I don’t want nothing to do with them. The people who truly care about me and accept me, will accept the fact that I want you to stay in my life because, you have helped me accept who I am, grow, and you have encouraged me to be the healthiest I can be. My life has never been this good, I have never been this happy, healthy, and ambitious that’s because of you.


I love seeing your face. I love seeing your name appear on my screen. I love your eyes and smile; they are so beautiful. I love how kind you are.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
