What Happens When You Let Her Go?
Ally Rosenfeld

What happens when you let her go? A question that I'm taking a wild guess probably ponders through the minds of many when a relationship ends. What happens afterwards? How does it feel from a female's aspect? What is her outlook on life from here on out?

People tend to think that once a relationship is over, it's over for good. That because there isn't a label plastered onto your faces anymore, therefore it's over and done with. But do people really understand what she feels like after the breakup? Does it make her weaker, or does she power through it and gain a sense of strength within herself? From my own experiences, I have come to realize that every relationship one has within their lifetime, makes them one step closer to finding the perfect match. You learn what you want and what is essential for your own happiness. So, to my ex, here's what happened to me at least when you let me go.

For starters, I learned to NOT stop caring for you as a person. I loved you from the start, and I'll always have a spot in my heart for you. Just because things are over, and have been over for a good amount of time now, doesn't necessarily mean that I'll just give up on caring about you. Your health, your happiness and how you do in life is important to me. Obviously, I want to know that things are positive because that only brings the biggest smile to my face. So, what happens when you let her go? The care and the love doesn't just disappear. There are still times that you cross her mind. Although, she knows there are other fish in the sea and that this ship has sailed once and for all.

I also learned to put myself first and foremost. I used to put you before everyone else in my life including my own being. It was crucial to me that you were doing okay 100 percent of the time. And, although I still want you to be okay, it is finally time to focus on myself. So, what happens when you let her go? She focuses on herself in order to better her life and make herself out to be the shining star that she truly is.

Sometimes the exchange of conversation between us wasn't the healthiest and I would go against my own morals and values just so we would be on good terms. I didn't seem to pay attention to what would in the end, make me feel happy and content with life. But, really, It's time for me to stick up for myself when I need to. Just like you do, I deserve happiness, love, affection and much more.

Over the years, what has become pretty apparent to me is that whatever respect and effort one gives, they deserve unconditionally in response. Sadly, that hasn't been my experience. The two way street way of life become a one way and I felt as if the effort I was putting in was barely recognized. So, what happens when you let her go? She realizes that there is someone out there for her that will treat her like a princess, the right way and provide unconditional love and support.

And, as Ernie Harwell once said, "It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure."

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
