An Open Letter To All My Exes

A short note to those who I no longer talk to.

I'm not going to lie. I did like you, I might've even loved you. Obviously, enough to waste my valuable time on someone like you. However, I have since realized that the way you "make me feel" is not good enough anyway. Yes, you "loving me" felt like I was walking on a cloud. Not good enough to continue living the way I was. Your words faded and so did you. And now there is just me.

Making it work.

I never needed you.

I wanted you. That is crucial. I. WANTED. YOU.

I stopped wanting you and you lost value. I lost nothing.

Good luck in life. One day you'll look back and realize you were wrong.

And I am worth way more than you could've ever imagined.

Alright, now that my rant is over... I honestly do want life to treat you well. I want you to understand that things happen for a reason and that just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean everyone else feels the same. No matter how involved we were; even if we only knew each other for a short time, breaking up with you took something out of me. I never wanted to make you hurt, that has never been the intention. I made the decisions I made based on what I thought and still think is best for both of us. Obviously, we don't see eye to eye on that subject.

However, disagreements are a part of life and they help us grow and make something out of the time we are given. I hope that one day we will once again be able to talk to each other without old feelings and possible pent up anger getting in the way. Life goes on. Even if you hurt me immensely, I forgive you and I want someone to come into your life and make you realize the beauty in love and relationships. I hope that you learn from your hurt and your mistakes and become better and happier in the end.


Light and Love,

Ky

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
