To the Man Who Lost Me

An open letter

To the Man Who Lost Me
Council for Relationships

To the man who loves me,

Hi. How are you today? Did you sleep well? Because I know you spend most of your nights walking around catching Pokemon or talking to your best friend, smoking a cigarette and questioning life's meaning and whether time is even a thing. I know I have a semi-normal sleep cycle, so you literally spend most of your nights alone, or with said best friend smoking until the wee hours of the morning and wondering if an octopus is born with seven legs instead of eight, does that make it a septopus, or is it an octopus with a genetic mutation? Will this octopus ever grow another leg? Does this octopus have an identity crisis? Does the octopus feel alone? Does he or she get made fun of? Will the octopus ever feel like he or she will ever belong because he or she is all alone in his or her new species of octopi?

Hi. How are you? Did you have a good day? I miss you. I miss you so much. This whole not living together thing really, really sucks. I wish we could spend every moment together. I know we rarely get to see each other because you have work and I have school. I wish we could have more than two nights a week together. I really wish we could find time to be together. This whole relationship with my phone is really starting to grow old. I just want to be with you. It's almost like the universe is trying to tear us apart.

Hi. How are you? Did you sleep well? I know you finally got some sleep, and I can't tell you how happy that makes me. I saw you caught some new Pokemon. Congrats babe. You did it. You finally got me to download that stupid game. I'm team mystic and you are team valor. Will this relationship work out? Obviously. I mean, why wouldn't we work out? Other than the fact that your all-consuming jealousy drives my already unstable brain up a wall. Or that your mother despises every atom of me. Or that my all-consuming jealousy drives your mentally unstable brain farther into the all-consuming darkness of that place. Or the fact that we are polar opposites in every way. Will we work out? How could this possibly work out?

Hi. How are you? I miss you so much it hurts. My insecurities are driving me insane and I need cuddles to make me forget about them. Just for a moment. One beautiful and perfect moment to take away the all-consuming thoughts that drive me to the point of not wanting to exist. I don't know what it is about you, but you take away the pain. I somehow managed to find my perfect person in this seven billion plus people world. How is that even possible?

Hello. Did you get any rest? Any at all? My mother asked about you, and she is wondering how you are? I told her you were fine, and that I would hopefully see you soon. Remember that time that Caitlyn threw french fries at us for being cheesy? I really wish every night could be as great as that! I miss you. I miss you so much. How's work? We really need a date night.

Hi. I guess we didn't work.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great.
