Never turn your back, even when they do.

Open Letter To The Ones Who Leave You Behind

I never understand how some can go from talking to you every single day to dropping you and not talking to you at all. It's not like some people are disposable while others aren't. But sometimes certain people are too stuck in their own little world to realize this for themselves. It's happened millions of times in the 19 years of my life. People come and go; it's just the way of life. But, for some reason, I thought this time was going to be different. Long story short, it wasn't.

So here's to you, and to everyone else who has decided to leave someone behind.

I don't think you understand what you're doing; when you leave someone you end up hurting them so much more than you will ever know. They sit there wondering what it is they did wrong or why they are no longer good enough for you. Eventually we come to realize that it was you that decided you no longer needed us. We helped you with whatever it was you needed to fix, from a self-confidence issue to heartbreak, when no one else was there for you. Then once you were all better and your old "friends" came back to you, it was time to leave the one who fixed you. Now, I'm sure you didn't mean to do this on purpose, but nonetheless you did it.

That being said, you're still kind of in luck.

Lucky for you I'm the kind of person who no matter what you do to me I will always be willing to help you go through whatever you need. I'll be there for you in a heartbeat. Even after you letting me go. Just because you changed your mind about me doesn't mean that I have changed my mind about you. One day you'll see I was here when no one else was.

I know you're still young, as I was a few years older than you, so I'm sure as you get older you will realize that I was one of those friends who was really there for you. But that's okay beacuse if ever you do change your mind I will still be here waiting for you. Because as you grow up and finish high school you tend to realize that some people are those who are worth waiting for. Even if it means waiting awhile.

I just wanted you to know that I'm always thinking about you and here for you. No matter what stage of life you and I are in, I will always be willing to help you. I'll still lend you my shoulders and tell you the things you need to hear, if you do ever choose to want them again. Don't ever hesitate to talk to me, I will never do you like you did me. You were family to me and if there's anything I've learned from being a car girl and loving Fast and Furious movies is that "you don't turn your back on family... even when they do."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
