I forgive you.

To Those Who Have Hurt Me
Stock Snap

I've been hurt. I've felt pain. I've cried the tears of heartbreak in moments that I will never forget. I've lost people. I've hurt people. I have traveled through life, meeting people, and losing people along the way. It's inevitable that people will remain in your life forever. And the truth of the matter is, people will hurt you. However...

To those who have hurt me, I care about you. You were in my life for a reason, and don't think for a second that I have forgotten about that. I care about the memories we had. I care about your well-being. I want happiness in your life. I want you to thrive in your passions and follow your dreams. I care deeply and truly for you. That will never change, no matter what.

To those who have hurt me, I think about you. I wonder how you are doing. I imagine what your life is like. I think back to all the laughs and moments we have shared and I treasure them. I think of good times, and grow sad at the bad. I think of your smile and your kindness, which you have shared with me. I think of you, despite the end.

To those who have hurt me, I love you. I was fortunate enough to love you through your joy, and pain. I felt those emotions with you. Our connection grew deep enough that I formed a love for you. Regardless of how things ended between us, I will always love you and love who you are. Because who you are is beautiful, and I hope you never forget that.

To those who have hurt me, I forgive you. The battle in which we fought is over, and we have both come out bruised. Things have been said that we don't really mean, but that's the thing about words... we remember them. I forgive you for those words. I forgive you for actions that were made in the moment. I forgive you, and I hope you can forgive me.

To those who have hurt me, I am sorry. I'm sorry for any pain I have caused you. I'm sorry if you lost sleep at night thinking about our relationship. I'm sorry that I made you feel anything less than happiness because all I want is your happiness. But most of all, I'm sorry that we are in this place today.

Here we are today, and unfortunately, we can't change the past. All we can do is move forward and hope we can take the lessons of yesterday, to love unconditionally. I don't regret having you in my life. I thank you for adding your personality into my life. Yes, I have been hurt, and yes, those wounds still sting today. However, that doesn't change the fact you are a gift of God and you were placed in my life for a reason. Maybe one day, we will get back to the place we were before. Just know, I will be here if you need me. Take care old friend, and I hope you find everything you want in life.

All my love.

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.

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!
