To The Girl Who Loves Too Hard

I'm sorry.

You had to learn from an early age what a broken heart feels like and what that exactly meant.

And because you love just a little harder than everyone else, you felt the world stop spinning when you got your heart broken.


You have so much love to give and you dive into relationships heart first.
You are entirely committed from the start and are fiercely loyal.
You give up so much, just to see the other person smile.

But the secret is, you don't love too hard.

You expect the same love that you give.

 And maybe the world is just too sad of a place to give out that kind of love, and you're just a blessing that somehow slipped through the cracks of heaven.

You go through life giving so much, you quickly burn yourself out when you don't receive any of it back.

And then you wonder if maybe you're just too hard to love.


You wonder if you aren't meant to be with anyone.
You wonder if no one out there can always make you feel the way you can make others feel.
You wonder if there's something wrong with you.


But, sweet girl, you aren't too hard to love, and there's nothing wrong with you.

You were put on this Earth by someone who loved you before you were even created. Someone who loves you enough, that he took your place on the cross and died for you. A man whose love is even more selfless than the one you give out.


So please, keep loving as passionately and fully as you can.

Embrace the unlovable who make you feel like you can't be loved properly.

And just know, you're perfect in his eyes.

Why It Makes It So Hard

Anxiety is the beginning stages of relationships. You struggle normally because you always seem to ruin something before it begins. It's staying up at night and tossing and turning because you wonder how someone feels. It's questioning if this is really something or if it is all in your head. Anxiety is being excited about a date but thinking they're going to cancel last minute. It's staring at your phone waiting for it to happen. It's every past relationship on repeat and hoping this one doesn't end the same way. It's an ending that emotionally destroys you. It's trying to handle it with grace and dignity but at the same time, you're in tears wondering when things changed, and where you went wrong. Anxiety tells you, "no, it's not that they were the wrong person, it's that you're flawed and not good enough." And you look at yourself, fixating on things you wish you could change because that's probably why it...

An Open Letter To My Mentor

Dear Dennis, You.  You are the reason I'm still standing tall and making it through high school. Without you, I wouldn't be on the path I am on right now. You embraced me and took me under your wing freshman year, and our relationship quickly grew from there. Whether it was seeking answers to my multitude of questions in any of my English classes over the years, to seeking advice when it came to everything else, you never backed down and always managed to see me through to the other side.  Your room became a safe haven for me. A place where I could go and complain about my school work until I sucked it up and got it done. A place where we both exchanged many laughs and tears. A place where sometimes the only thing filling the air was silence.  You're so taken for granted by everyone. The way you intertwine your passion for literature and love of teaching is something amazing, and something I hope to have one day. You put your all into what you do fo...

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...
