To The Person Who Cares Too Much

Care too little, you will lose them. Care too much, you will get hurt.

It’s not your fault.

You probably wonder why you are the way you are, you wonder why you care too much about the littlest things. You wonder why you worry about things that may not matter to others and often the smallest words could upset you. It’s not your fault. Your heart is gold. Your soul is pure. You are the type of person the world desperately needs. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You are so full of love, no matter how many pieces you may break into, that love never stops.

You pour your heart out to people because you wish to see people happy. You wish to remind people that they are loved. People will tell you that this is your weakness, you caring too much, and loving too much. But those same people will end up taking advantage of it. It’s not your fault that you can’t help but care about everyone and everything. You can’t help but tell people to always be safe if they’re out late. It’s not your fault that you tend to ask people if they are okay. Even if you aren’t okay yourself. But you don’t care if no one asks you. You don’t care if people don't make the effort to make you laugh or smile the way you make the effort. It’s your natural instinct to help anyone in need, to make them smile and laugh; not because you believe it’s your duty as a human, but because you find happiness in doing so.

You could be broken in pieces but when you hear and see someone laugh because of you those broken pieces don’t matter to you. You believe that there’s nothing more amazing than making someone else smile and laugh. This love that you are so filled with is a gift from God. You putting your heart and soul in caring about others, and loving the people that least deserve it, despite this you believe that those are the people that truly need love.

Despite you finding happiness in loving people, and making them happy, sometimes when it’s 3AM and you’re so broken from people stepping all over you. You can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with you. Because despite the situations you put yourself in, the effort you make to keep people happy, each time you end up heartbroken. But you can’t stop. You can’t ever stop caring about people can you? You spend your nights often thinking about this, wondering why you are like this. So when you end up in this situation you wish to be heartless, and you wish to be given the ability to not care.

Yet, this never happens does it? So to the girls out there that go through this I hope you remember these words by me; you are so strong and beautiful for the way you are. You are so special and precious you don’t even know my love. You have the ability to love the most broken, messed up humans, you have the ability to find happiness in other people's happiness even if they do not return the same love and happiness. Don’t question this. You may believe this is your weakness, but in reality it is your strength. The ability to never go cold or heartless on humans, because you believe that everyone needs love and happiness in their lives, and you are the perfect person to spread that love and happiness.

I hope you continue to do so. Don’t ever let anyone change this aspect of you. Don’t ever let someone tell you this is your weakness. We need people like you in the world, don’t let another broken human tell you that you shouldn’t care or you should love less because this world is cold and no one cares. Instead, love them, and show them that it’s okay. That it’s okay to let someone love them. Show them that you care. Show them it’s okay to be happy. Show them that loving and spreading happiness is your strength. I hope you continue to love the way you do, I hope you always care about others the way you do. This is the most beautiful thing about you.

Always remember that.

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.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

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.
