The Distance Between Lovers

The oceans, mountains and valleys between two lovers.

I think one of the hardest things in life is realizing that someone you love infinitely is just not right for you - or at least not right for you right now. Usually in moments like these even realizing that the person you love isn't right for this period in your life is devastating. You want so badly to wake up every day and kiss them on their cheek or make dinner for them after work. You want to be comforted by them when sorrow engulfs your soul and when your mind has turned into a dark place. You want to feel their presence as you walk into the house, smell their cologne. But life is never that simple. Life never gives you exactly what you want when you want it. It makes you wait and wait until you're ready and prepared.

Have you ever seen someone and the moment you lay your eyes on them you just know? You know that this man or woman will be so influential in your life that you will never be able to vanquish the effect they have on your heart or soul. They will be able to light up your eyes as soon as they walk into a room. Together you're electric. It's like when water hangs around an exposed wire. You're both just waiting for the chance to set a fire inside each other. You understand each other better than two people can because you were cut from the tree. There's no use trying to find another him or her because there never will be another them. The way you two are the same and different all in the same instant raises a contradiction that neither of you quite understand. It's like fate and the universe just don't see eye to eye. Fate slams you together and the world stretches you apart. The only hope you have is that one day the two will align. That the chemistry you two share will not only inhabit your mind and body but inhabit your reality. That through the good and the bad you'll end up by each other's side.

There are days that are harder than others - when you feel like giving up. When you feel like you have no direction or purpose. There are days when your heart yearns for your person, but you are oceans, mountains, and valleys apart. All you have is the hope that lies in your heart. The hope that the oceans, mountains, and valley will concave and form a path to one another. You hope that the universe will finally allow fate to take the wheel. But right now all you have is hope - hope that life knows what the hell it's doing.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
