An Open Letter To the Ones I've Loved And Lost
Odyssey

Hey there,

It’s probably been a while since we last spoke and I’ve got a lot of things to get off my chest. I think I’ll start by saying sorry. Whether our parting was due to something I had done or something you had done, I’m so sorry. I really wish that hadn’t happened. I’m so sorry if I ever hurt you or if I ever broke your heart to the point where you couldn’t bare to look at me anymore. If you’ve ever broken my heart, I’m sorry for shrugging you off and ignoring all those times you tried to fix it. I’m sorry if the people I love lash out at you out because of what happened between us. I’m really sorry if you think that it’s not okay to speak to me. I’m just sorry it didn’t work out.

I get that things change and sometimes it’s not meant to be, but I still love you. If I ever loved you, I’ll always love you and that’s just the way it is. I’m just sorry and I wish things were different between us. I wish I could change how it all ended up, but I can’t so I just had to apologize.

Now that I’ve stated my piece, I just want you to know that I think a lot and I think everything through. I want you to know that I don’t blame you for any of it. I know that in situations like ours, it’s easy for one person to say it was the others fault and to have bad blood. I think that’s just a waste of time. I’m not one to pretend and I’m all about honesty, so when people ask me about you, I’ll never say anything bad. There may have been a time when, out of anger, I said something I didn’t mean. But I can honestly say that after all this time; I have nothing bad to say. When people ask me about you, I just say that it was a shame that whatever happened, happened. And that I miss you, but life goes on.

The last thing I have to say is thank you. I have never gone through anything like the loss of a loved one. It is probably the worst experience someone can ever go through, and it shaped the person I have become. I am better for it. I thank you for showing me that even if the world comes crashing down around you, you’re still alive. You’re still breathing. No matter how hard life gets, I’m able to push through and I owe it all to you. When people burn you so bad, you have no choice but to pick yourself up and let yourself heal. So thank you, for giving me the opportunity to fix myself and learn me.

I hope you’re doing well and I hope you found your happiness. I wish I could have been a part of it, but I understand why it didn’t work out. I love you and I miss you and I wish you the best. It was a pleasure to have known you, even though it was only for a brief moment in my life. Just know that if you ever need me, I would still answer to your calls. You know where to find me.

Best wishes,

Me

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
