To the boy whom I still to this day do not hate.

A Open Letter To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

First off, I’ll start with saying thank you. Thank you for breaking my heart. Matter of fact, thank you for shattering my heart. I wouldn't of wanted to hand something so precious over to anyone else to destroy.

I grew very fond of you in a short period of time. I think it was those eyes, or maybe the way you spoke to me like I was the only girl in the world. All the days where I broke down and cried you sat there and cried with me, all the days where I smiled so brightly you smiled with me, we shared something special. Our first love.

As the years went on I noticed I was the one loving more, the one who put their all in to get not very much in return. I deserved better and always have. Your words were lies. Your hopes weren't the same hopes I had. Maybe you looked at me as just a girl you knew, but I looked at you like you were my gift from above.

I have no resentments about the time we spent together or all the effort I put into you. No, I don't hate you. I don't hate you for being the boy who caused me the suffering of a thousand bricks being dropped onto my chest. I don't hate you for not realizing what we had. I don't hate you at all. Matter of fact, I still love you. Funny thing is I don't have much to love you with considering you broke my heart into a million little pieces.

Love works in a funny way people say, not as funny as our love worked. It worked in a way others may not understand. It worked in a way where I felt as if I had everything, but in reality, I had nothing. I know deep in your heart apart of you did love me, or maybe even still loves me. But you were awful at showing it.

To this day I still am very fond of you. Fond of the person I've seen you become since our times together. I still talk to you almost everyday, it's almost like our time never ended. Like you never really broke my heart. But you did and because of it I am a stronger person. I look at myself and think of the girl laying in her bed under the covers crying her eyes out. Of the girl who wanted to end it all over a boy who was meant to be a lesson not a blessing. I look back at that girl and think "Wow, I will never be that girl again."

I know now that as my life goes on I will meet people who will use their words as a way to fool others. I know now that not everyone is as genuine as they seem. I know now that just because someone says something does not mean they will stick to their words. I know now that you were not what was best for me. I know now that I am worth more.

And all I have to say to you,

is thank you,

and good luck in all your future endeavors and I will always be there by your side when you need me.

Love always with my broken heart,

The girl you let go.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
