Stop Searching...

For the guy who broke you, for the girl you use to be, for the answers you seek

Stop Searching...

Quit seeking out the guy

You thought that you loved.

The bad guy, the liar,

The too good to be true.

Remember?

He's the one who taught you

To stand up, be you.

He loved you, I'm sure

But he let you fall down

He didn't catch you,

Watched you drown.

You cried for a while,

Stood up,

Shook off,

Kept walking and talking,

Like nothing was off.

You know you shouldn't search,

You know you shouldn't look,

But one day you keep hoping,

He'll come save you

Like the books.

He may return for a while,

But only to see what he missed.

He'll leave you like he came,

Don't play this game.

He may not return,

But from this experience you'll learn

You're stronger now broken

Than you were here before.


Stop searching for her,

The girl you once knew.

Is she hidden?

Is she you?

You changed a little,

Lost yourself in a storm

Don't worry, my girl

It'll all be reborn.

Don't search for specifics,

Don't look for a list,

You'll find yourself

Among the abyss.

You threw yourself out there,

The world seemed to consume,

Don't worry, my girl

One day you'll find your muse.

Don't search for the lost,

You'll create some untrue,

Just be who you are,

Live like it's true.

You may not know,

You may be confused

But like baby steps,

It takes a few.

You'll find yourself again,

Don't look too hard.

It's still you in the mirror,

You're not that far.


You're looking for answers,

Looking for plain,

But they aren't here,

They're not in this frame.

The world claims to have answers,

Ignore them

For me.

They're all wrong,

Only tell you what they see.

The answers aren't clear,

It's not easy to see

But look to the Heavens,

He'll answer your plea.

Don't look for the facts

In the wrong places and things,

The world has no truth

For you and for me.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
