Poetry On Odyssey: Did I Ever Have You?

Or will I ever?

Lately, I've only been able to ask myself one thing: did I ever actually have you?

I didn't necessarily want to end it, but it also needed to happen in order for me to have a stable mindset again. I thought that was what was going to finally end my pain.

I just feel worse. Numb. Cold. Not able to go on. I honest to god cannot stop thinking about you. I just remember all of the good things that happened with us and they make me cry. I wish I could say you are a bad person. I wish I could say you treated me like garbage 100% of the time. I really wish you were bad news. The thing is, however, that none of those statements are true.

Because you are a good person. You didn't deliberately treat me like trash. You are good news.

So, tell me: did I ever have you? Did I ever have someone to rely on?

…did I ever have someone that loved me?

Towards the end I didn't even know who you were. I would keep my phone on my lap in class just in case you finally tried to message me and would cry when you didn't.

I think I finally concluded. You had me. You had literally all of me and have seen every inch of my body.

You had all of my love stashed inside a jar in the back of the cabinet, collecting dust and never to be seen again.

However, I never had you.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
