Please Let Me Go

Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought.

It's been a few months since you wanted our relationship to be over. I got a text at work and I was forced to accept that as I sat on the floor in Aerie, looking for some rompers. I listened to some old George Jones and had a good cry before going skating and shattering my phone. Skating is definitely not my strong suit. But hey, at least I didn't break any bones.

It wasn't my finest day, obviously. But that wasn't the part that hurt the most. No, the fact that you couldn't tell me to my face didn't hurt as much as what came later.

It was when you kept snap chatting me. Drunk or not, it made me miss you. It still does. Then you started asking me to hang out again. I held out for a while, but then I gave in because I can't say no to you. I thought that maybe, maybe there was a chance of getting back together. Then you pull away again. It's like you want me, but you're going to keep me at an arm's length because someone better might come along. It's not fair. You either want me or you don't. So tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time.

You're making me lose my mind. I'm sitting around waiting for you to make a move other than asking me when I'll be back or telling me you miss me. I try not to answer when you contact me. I try to, but I can't. I try to act like it doesn't phase me when you like my pictures on Instagram or Facebook. For some reason I can't quit you so I'm asking you to make the choice for me.

If you want me, make it known. Make me feel like you want a relationship with me and do all those stupid couple things everyone else does. I want to be with you, but I won't plead and beg anymore. I'll find someone who thinks I'm amazing and always wants to be with me. After 21 years of learning to love myself, I deserve that and more.

This isn't a Meredith and Derek kind of thing. We are not characters from Grey's Anatomy. I'm not going to say, "Pick me. Choose me. Love me." I shouldn't have to plead for you to want me. It's all you here, babe. But once you choose someone else, I'm no longer an option. I'm a first choice or no choice kind of girl.

I realized a while ago that life isn't a Cinderella Story either. I'm not Hillary Duff and Chad Michael Murray isn't going to leave the field to kiss me. You wouldn't leave the ice for me so why do you keep dragging me along? What did I ever do to deserve this? It's crazy making and hurtful and so many more things I can't even begin to say, I just want your answer.

So if you don't want an actual relationship please, please just let me go. I'm tired of waiting for the rain in this drought.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
