Somewhere between self love & self hate

What do either of these things really mean...?

They say any act of love is self love,

And any act of hate is self hate.

So why is it that when I spend my days finding all the reasons in the world to love you,

Nightfall greets me with hatred toward myself, hating the feeling of not being loved back

Hating the idea that I want you in a way you don’t want me.

But how could it be? I love myself so deeply— or so I'd like to think

But how could I love someone who can’t seem to love me?

I find reasons to love myself, but they don’t light me up in the way they do you

Maybe my definition of love is lost somewhere in translation

Maybe I’ll know one day what the meaning of love really is

But for now, I’ll continue to feel deep in my core what loss is really like, losing myself in trying to find love in you

So ask yourself as I ask myself,

What is self love? What is self hate?

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
