I want to let you in but I don’t know how.

How do you let someone in when you’ve been hurt by the one person you expected to be by your side forever? The trust, love, and efforts I made I can never get back. I gave you a piece of myself that I can never get back.

For a while, I was lost.

I had no idea who I was without him. I realized that by trying to keep him, I've lost myself in the process.

But somehow you gave me the reason to try to love again. You make me feel things I don’t want to feel. You make me smile and laugh like no other. It’s annoying but that’s one of the many qualities I adore about you.

The thing about love is that you always have to be willing to take a risk. There’s no way of telling if that person will end up breaking your heart. It’s always a gamble. But when you love someone, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. The secret to a long-lasting relationship is building a firm foundation that's built on loyalty, trust, and honesty. If one of these three components aren’t visible, then you’re relationship never stood a chance, to begin with. In every relationship, there are its fair shares of highs and lows. It takes two string individuals, to stay during the low points because it's easier to leave when things get a little hard.

One day, we will be a family of four in a big white house just beside the oceanside. A wonderful view, indeed. Who would have ever thought that this would be possible?

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.
