To The One Who Always Hurt Me

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words really hurt too.

To The One Who Always Hurt Me

I’ve spent a few years under your control and I am really really tired of it. I totally get it feeling in charge is the best thing ever, but could you, ya know? Quit it? I am emotionally, physically, and mentally tired of being under your control and I will not take it anymore. I thought we were friends and I thought I could trust you and I thought we were okay, but we're not. I just can't sit here and think that everything’s alright over and over again, but thanks for trying. I have spent the time that you have spent hurting me questioning everything I do, because I thought it must be my fault. It's not, though, and you won't find yourself by punishing me.

I am sorry for whatever hurt you. I know you only hurt me because you were hurt before, and that kills me. I just am so tired of you doing the same to me. I am sorry someone emotionally scarred you to the point you lost yourself. I won't let you hurt me anymore though. My family, my friends, and my future kids won't know the pain you caused, and I will never let them understand the pain a person can cause, either.

I am thinking of you and praying for you all of the time. I haven't given up on you yet - I am constantly worried about you. I don't want you to ever think someone is not on your side, so I forgive you. I always do and I always will. I don't know what it is, but I will always and forever have cared for you beyond comparison to what you care for me.

I am on your side whether or not you're on mine. I love you whether or not you love me back. I think of you, and I only think good things, despite the vicious things that come to your mind when you think of me. I forgive you whether or not you forgive yourself.

Sincerely,

The One You Lost Control Over.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
