Poetry On Odyssey: Removing Toxic People Is Worth It
Cara Martinez

I let you go because it was time.

Months of on and off arguing.

And days of ambiguity.

I let you go because you gave me bad vibes.

I let you go because you were full of yourself.

And I let you go because you made me feel poorly about myself.

I came back to see you because I had hope.

Now I don't.

Your smile and your sense of humor is now dead to me.

And your texts about saying how much you like me are worthless.

You didn't even look at me in the eye.

It was so painful to see I wanted to cry.

But my intuition tells me to let go.

It hurts like hell but I am ready for it.

I can feel my heart ripping in half and I can see the smoke fuming from my ears.

But that is life.

You talked about yourself and not me.

I saw you for the wrong reasons.

I still miss you, but I miss the old you.

I am letting you go because I am too good for you.

Bye.

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

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…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
