This Too Shall Pass

Afraid to let go.

As I picked up the phone, I can tell my friend Carl was upset about something. His voice was abnormal from normal phone calls we usually would have. His breath was hard and it was tough for him to say anything or be calm. I said “Carl! Relax bro, what’s going on, why you sound so upset?”. He finally caught his breath and all he said was listen bro, I have something to share with you about D... I wrote something this morning that I was feeling and I need you to hear it. while Carl was talking I listened and this is what he said.


Today was the day

Where my life would take a turn

Positively or negatively

Where everything was supposed to change

For the rest or for the worst.

I had two options

Turn left and go backwards, turn right and keep going in circles.

Out somehow the strength in me found an alternate route, go straight and keep moving forward.

Waited all day by the phone

For an important phone call.

Each ring was a deception.

My mind start to spin

Wishing and praying to god

To not let today be the worst.


Feeling the need of being wanted

Having the feeling of not being enough

Forcing myself into my work

To forget all the good and bad moments. As much as it hurts to let go

Nothing hurts more than being unwanted and unappreciated.

Then feeling of being taken for granted.

How could I have been so blind

Telling myself all of those lies to comfort my egoism.

I don’t blame you for my downfall

But I blame myself for destroying my own personal integrity.

I found myself evanescing, trailing behind.


This was when I decided that I was enough

My heart has taking a beating

A beating that will be hard to recover from.

I’ve treated my heart like a brothel lusting and yeaning.

Now my heart has been broken into million pieces

Shattered all across the floor, gathering the pieces.


Afraid to let go

Afraid to move on

Not knowing what lies ahead

Making a decision is tough.

The challenges we face

Makes us stronger.

Moving on is scary.

We think of the worst

Instead on the best.

Sometimes the worst

Can become the best.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
