To The Boy Who Shattered My Heart

"As much as I wanted our dream future to come to life, it was a fantasy world that didn't exist."

To The Boy Who Shattered My Heart

To the boy who broke my heart,

I never thought I'd ever have the strength to write this out. I swore as I wrote a flood of tears would escape my eyes, but here I am with no tears left.

The day you gave up on us was one of the worst days of my lives. I blamed myself for everything that went wrong. I sat around hoping that you'd text or call saying you wanted to give us another chance. I mean we had so many plans for our future together, and poof they were gone in seconds.

My heart felt heavy as I thought about what could have been. The wounds left were raw and hurt. I will admit for awhile I was bitter and angry, but that has now passed.

I'm not sorry that I couldn't be who you wanted me to be, but that girl wasn't me. I'm still trying to figure out if you loved me or who you thought I could be. I tried so hard to be that girl, but let's be real that would erase most of who I am.

Looking back, I don't think you ever would have worked out the way we wanted. We weren't healthy for each other. We both had our faults that hurt the other person. As much as I wanted our dream future to come to life, it was a fantasy world that didn't exist.

As upset and broken as I was with our break-up, I thank you for it. You opened my eyes to so many things. I've become a better and stronger person through this event. You set me on a journey of self-discovery and recovery. It's something I don't think would have happen if you hadn't of shatter my heart into a million pieces.

The last thing I want to say was I wish you well. I really do mean that. I hope you find what you are looking for this world. We had our bad times (also some good), but I don't wish anything bad on you. Hopefully, you can find the person you really want/need and live a full life.

Sincerely,

The-Not-So-Heartbroken-Anymore

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?
