To The Girl Who Doesn't Guard Her Heart

You feel it all, good and bad.

You're the girl who lays it out there, all your feelings and emotions.

The girl who can't play hard to get. The one who doesn't believe in holding back in matters of the heart.

You let your feelings and instincts guide you. You don't want to regret anything, so you experience everything. When it doesn't work out, you have a new lesson learned. At least, that's what you tell yourself to convince your heart to heal. That hopeless heart of yours hurts from time to time. While you've convinced yourself you're a stronger woman now and you can handle it, you still feel the sting of crushes and one-night-stands that haven't worked out how you wanted them to.

You wonder again and again, which one will be the one to try not to break your heart. To try to stare at the beauty of how all the broken pieces fit together and not be tempted to break it into a thousand more. To be in awe of the pieces you've glued and pasted back together, all on your own.

You worry all your friends, as you fall too fast, time after time. They warn you to be careful, not wanting to see you hurt. They know you get caught up in your feelings. They hear it when you talk about how amazing this one is, how he's different from the others. How he is "so nice". You turn into the girl who cried wolf, except you cry all alone.

You don't guard your heart; it's plain and simple. You don't want to rob yourself of any emotion, so you go through them all.

Even when all you feel is depressed or lonely, at least you're feeling something, right?

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
