A Thank You To The Guy Who Stopped Loving Me

A Thank You To The Guy Who Stopped Loving Me

When a girl gets dumped, the first thing she wants to say is, ”You’ll never find anyone better than me.” That’s not the case here. I know you can find someone better than me, but you will never find someone who will love you as much as I did.

For more than a year you gave me the impression that you were falling for me day after day. You could have corrected me if I was wrong. Instead, you made me believe what I thought was impossible. I thought you would never stop loving me, but I guess our little pinky promises meant nothing to you. I want you to know that you were my best friend and everything I needed in my life. You are the one who taught me how to love and how to appreciate those who loved me. It was a learning experience for the both of us. I lived under the assumption that we would grow together and our love would get deeper. Instead, your love for me grew weaker as my love for you grew stronger. Now that my wounds aren’t as fresh anymore, my friends tell me to move on and that I can do better than cry over you. But what if I don’t want to? What if I believe that you’ll come running back to me? But what if you already moved on?

These questions linger in my mind and the only thing I understand is that I still love you. I am still in love with you. I can’t stop the feeling.

I’d like to thank you for all of the laughter and adventures that I'll never forget. Thank you for being my first love in high school. Thank you for being the best prom date I could have had. Thank you for the infinite number of hugs and kisses that brought me so much comfort. Thank you for graduating with me. Thank you for making the transition to college easy. Thank you for making me believe in love. Lastly, thank you for being you.

Relationships aren’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean you give up and fall out of love. My parents kept saying “you’re too young to be in love” but I was lucky enough to find love so early in my life thanks to you. I act like I’m over you, but the truth is that I never will be. I play the songs you used to sing to me on repeat on my phone. The pictures we took together are in a hidden in a folder on my laptop. The gifts you gave me are still on the top shelf of my dresser. The love I thought you showed me, still hurts my wounded heart.

We had a plan for our lives together, and you decided to take a different route without helping me with the detour. In your eyes, I was just a girl. In my eyes, you were my world.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
