Poetry On Odyssey: I Want

I want something where I don't have to worry about if he actually cares about me, but where he shows me daily he does.

Poetry On Odyssey: I Want

I want something where I don't have to worry about it he actually cares about me but where he shows me daily he does.

Something where I'm not the first one to call or text all the time, he does, because he knows how anxious I get.

Something where I can be me without worrying if he'll actually like me and not just my body.

Is it hard to ask for a man who will repair my heart that long ago broken by a father who forgot?

Is it too much to expect no cheating or lies, but instead honesty and communication?

Something without all the drama, yelling, screaming, shouting, and crying.

How can anything that is truly love hurt both of us so much?

To the point of pushing, hitting, biting, fighting.

None of that is anything I would ever want.

I want something where our smiles are everything to each other, where we tease and kiss.

It doesn't all fall apart because we aren't constantly having sex.

I want it real, all of it.

I want the constant emotions, the passion, the heat, the longing, and above all the respect.

We respect each other for everything we do no matter how big or little it seems to the other.

I want a relationship where even through the ups and downs, he'll take care of me and I'll take care of him.

One where we can go out or stay in and either way we'll be happy because we are there together.

Something where we don't care about all the superficial stuff because there are so many other things to care about.

In the end, the only thing that matter is us.

I want something that neither of us ever stops trying to make better, we know that to make love last you have to put in work.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
