To The Boy Who Treated Me Like Crap

To the boy who treated me like crap,

Thank you for all the arguments, yelling, and screaming. Thank you for ignoring my texts, never making time for me, and always making excuses. Looking back at what we had, I now realize that I was stuck in a toxic relationship. I can now see how badly you treated me, and how blind I was. I was constantly told to end things with you, but I refused. I had tunnel vision; I could only see the good parts of you. You kept telling me that things would change, and that you would do whatever it takes to make me happy. And I believed you.. I believed every word.

Although I regret staying with you for so long, I also don't. You have made me the person I am now. You showed me how to love myself, even when you couldn't. You showed me how to stand up for myself. You were everything I never wanted in a relationship, but because of you, I now know exactly what I want. I now realize that I deserve better.

Because of you, I blush every time he calls me beautiful. I now know what it's like to feel appreciated, wanted, and loved. I put you on a pedestal and defended you over and over again. I put your needs over mine, and in return, all I got was heartbreak. Now that I am no longer doing that, I feel so free. So thank you for all that you did and didn't do. Because of you, I am the happiest I've ever been. Thank you.

Sincerely, the girl who got away

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
