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.

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?
