To The Person I Left Behind

I still have a place for you in my heart, just not in my life.

To The Person I Left Behind
Elephant Journal

Looking back, I know this is far from where either of us wanted to be. There was a time when I couldn't imagine my life without you. You were my right hand, my go to. Where there was one, you could bet on finding the other. No one ever thought it would come to this. After all the time we spent together and all of the plans we made, I never imagined that it would be just me again. Both of us have a certain path in life, and all we can do is hope that one day, maybe just maybe, our paths will cross again.

To the person I left behind, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I walked out on you. I'm sorry that I left without warning. To be honest, I don't even really remember when it happened. We drifted apart and it seemed easier to give up and let go than to stay and try to fix it. I'm sorry that I left behind dreams and our goals. I'm sorry that I left you on your own. I'm sorry that you trusted me with your heart, and I broke it.

To the person I left behind, thank you. Thank you for showing me what it's like to be loved. Thank you for being my light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for, from what I can tell, understanding why I did what I did. Thank you for being my safe place all of the times I needed one. Thank you for loving me so unconditionally. Thank you for teaching me the most valuable life lessons. Thank you for defending me no matter what, even when I didn't deserve it.

To the person I left behind, I'm still rooting for you. I might not be by your side anymore, but I'm still wishing the best for you. I still want you to succeed. I hope this life brings you everything you want, and so much more because you deserve the world, don't let anyone convince you of anything less. Your passion for helping others is one of the things that I loved most about you, and I know you're going to do great things with it one day.

To the person I left behind, I still love you. You will always have a special place in my heart, one that is irreplaceable. The timing just wasn't right for us, and that's something that breaks my heart. Maybe one day down the road, the timing will be right and we'll find ourselves together again. Until that day comes, know that I still love you and there's no way that I will ever stop.

Life is quick to throw you curveballs, and everything changes in the blink of an eye. There's nothing you can do to make time slow down, you just have to cherish the time you have while you have it. Don't take a single moment, or person, for granted. All you can really do is sit back, and enjoy the ride and hope that maybe someday, everything will be okay again.

"Our lives may not have fit together, but ohh did our souls know how to dance..." - K Towne Jr.

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!
