You made me feel that I wasn't enough when in reality you just never saw my potential. You never cared about my growth as a person you were too focused on yourself. You didn't have to be so selfish, you could have tried to build me up the way I built you up. You didn't love yourself so you made it impossible for me to love you. Once I found people who actually love me I realized how detrimental you were to my health. You didn't care whether I was having a good day or a bad day, you just wanted me there for your convenience. You didn't care about me at all actually, whether I got home okay or if I was having a bad day.

You only wanted to focus on yourself but that gave you no right to break me in the process. You could have done that and told me you weren't ready, but you tried to convince yourself you were ready and you hurt me so terribly. But that's okay, for we live in a generation where hurting people is okay, it's a way of life. I just wish I didn't have to fail victim to your childish ways. Real men own up to what they want they don't deceive people and hurt them just to realize that person wasn't enough. People need to figure out themselves first before they go and damage other people just to figure out that they weren't enough. I knew I was enough and I was more than enough. People make excuses just to treat people terribly and it's disgusting. If you don't know what you want stay single until you figure it out, no need to break kind people because you're indecisive.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

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.
