Still Missing Someone like Crazy?

It's been a while since things have been over with my ex, but sometimes when things ended questionable or even extremely well, it can leave your mind wondering to certain situations that could have been. Or even make you miss them 10x more when you often think about it too much. Heck, maybe it ended so bad and you are constantly wondered what possibly could have gone wrong.

This poem was sent to me and it really helped me to understand my situation a lot more, so I wanted to share it with you guys so you could maybe find some sort of peace if your situation is like mine.

"It's okay to miss to miss someone that left you

It's okay to miss someone that hurt you

It's okay to miss someone that let you down

It's okay to miss someone that's no longer around

It's okay to miss someone that never deserved you

Its okay to miss someone

Because at one point, they were there for you.

They were a big part of your life. They were exactly what you needed.

They did something that changed you.

They made you happy for however long - you can't always just leave that behind.

It might've ended bad, but it started off good:

It's okay to miss people you feel like you shouldn't miss.

Just don't let it consume you."

For me, no matter how many times my friends have probably phrased this same thing to me, there is something about seeing it in words that makes it so much more impactful for me. It is everything that I am feeling, that I usually feel embarrassed for still feeling, summarized into a small poem. The best part about it is that it says that the way that I am feeling is okay. But at some point, I need to realize that I can't let the "what ifs" control my life. I need to accept what happened and move on and just do what I must do for myself.

I suggest to you guys to try and find poem, excerpts, or quotes that explain ways that you have been feeling that you can't seem to find the words for. Sometimes other people's words are exactly what we need to see to find closure for life's biggest problems. Whenever you are feeling some type of way, just know that you are not the only one who feels that way. Someone has already been through and back, if they can do it, then so can you!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
