Thank You For Walking Away

You chose something that made absolutely no sense, but that means I didn't have to.

You walked away and that meant - that I didn't have to. You took my nephew but he will grow up knowing and hating what you did to him. The same thing your father did to you, you did to yourself. You were once my best friend, once someone I went to for everything. I vented to you, laughed with you, smiled with you and now, because of things you left unsaid, those don't get to happen anymore.

I was hurt, but now I'm over being hurt. I'm more mad and annoyed. After the hours you spent in premature labor. The fact you almost died and him too - you walked away. But let's not forget about the countless times you've walked away before so we knew this was coming. You took the status of being a goddparent away from both of us, for what? To make someone you BARELY knew a caretaker of your child if you were suddenly taken from this world, both you and your boyfriend.

But, I also want to thank you for walking away. You did something I didn't have to do. I already had figured you'd go and that's okay with me. I'm not missing anything important. I will still move forward with my life because I have to and because that's what right. I can't stay in the past. Don't call me if you need something because I refuse to be there for you anymore.

You should of known everything you would of lost. Thank you for making a choice I didn't have to. I'm the bad guy? What about the person who took her son from her family? What about the person who took the choice of godparents away from FOUR people? What kind of a person are you? You must be the glory of God if I'm such a horrible person.

Thank you for walking away. Thank you for choosing the best decision for the both of us - all of us. Thank you for choosing what you thought was right even though it was ridiculous and uncalled for. I'll never understand you and I will never want to.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
