To The One Who Let Me Down

You were supposed to be there for me but you weren't. Thanks for nothing.

To The One Who Let Me Down
Theme Bin

You weren't there when I needed you. You never were. Millions of times I wanted to come to you but you only ignored me. I tried numerous times to communicate with you but nothing ever worked. I told you what I wanted from you but you were never that. I painted the entire picture of what could've been but it never made sense to you.

You took me for granted. When others could have seen my light and my potential, you left me in the dark, away from the surface. You wrecked me. You made me feel like everything was and always will be my fault but it's not. You ruined me for everybody else. Friends and family saw I wasn't who I used to be. I hid in solitude away from it all. You did this to me.

You let me down. I can never forgive you for what you've done to me. I will never be the same. I don't know what it is like to be happy anymore. I'm neutral. Never completely happy, never fully sad. I stay busy so it doesn't bother me. But the moment I'm through with my tasks, how you betrayed me is always the first thing to come to mind.

To those who can relate, reach out for help. For no one will hear your cry. They'll think your life is perfect but really you feel as if you're about to die. You don't care about anything. You have no passions or desires anymore. You always think everyone will let you down. But I promise you, they won't. There is a happy place in this cruel, evil world. You just have to dig deep enough and find it. I pray that anyone who reads this and can relate will find comfort knowing you're worth it all and you will live and breathe to see another day, and no one else will let you down unless you let them.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
