Love, a never-ending war

Whenever he is around, sparks are flying. There is a strong connection between the two of you. You have deep, sentimental feelings for him, but you are unsure if he feels similar to you. He seems to care about you much differently than everyone else. His eyes glow, and his smile lights up the room. His kind, generous heart gives you an endless sensation of butterflies. There are so many traits about him that make him different from the others, and the amount of similar ideas you share is ironic. You spend much quality time together so, that sometimes you forget what is actually going on in the world around you. The bond you two share is much different compared to other companions. If all of this seems true, then why must he not see the world as you see him? Why is he falling for someone else?

The pain your heart feels whenever he talks about her, the stabbing, uncontrollable pain. It breaks your heart to hear those words, what he could be saying about you. To him, she is different. She is what he needs. In your eyes, she is just another girl who has cast a spell on him. She does not know him as well as you do, and this realization breaks your heart. The way he feels for her, you will never know how it feels to be loved like that. He is falling for her, and your heart is breaking more and more. He does not see the pain in your eyes, but he does see the light shining through hers. You want to give up, and you want to lose all hope that you two are meant to be, but something keeps bringing you back to him. 

You should not have to give up this easily. If life was this simple, then he would already be in your arms. Love, it is a never-ending war. You have to fight for what you want. You have to make sacrifices in order to achieve it. Do not give up just yet. Good things will come. He is the one for you, whether either of you realize it yet or not. Be patient, the time will come.

Wicked Part One: A Film That Leaves You Changed "For Good"

 I was 17, on a flight to the Bahamas for a family vacation, when I first listened to the Wicked Broadway soundtrack. Staring out the window at the endless clouds, I felt like I was soaring right alongside Elphaba as she defied gravity. That music stayed with me, becoming a soundtrack to a summer I’ll never forget. Years later, sitting in the audience at Playhouse Square, I watched the story come to life on stage, and it changed me “for good.” So, when the movie finally came out, I walked into the theater with high hopes—and let me tell you, I was utterly blown away. Wicked: Part 1 was released in November 2024, directed by Jon M. Chu, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. It’s a fantasy musical adaptation of the Broadway hit and novel by Gregory Maguire. It starts with celebrating the Wicked Witch of the West’s downfall after melting and perishing to her doom. Although all seems fine and celebratory in the Land of Oz, we later learn that the Wicked Witch, ...

Bride Survival Guide: The Truth About Being a Bride

Congratulations! You're engaged!  Now is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. You get to marry the man or woman you love, plan a giant party (or a small one, if you prefer) with all your close friends and family, and wear the most beautiful gown. If any of these things make you anxious, you are not alone. Many brides feel overwhelmed during their "Engaged Era," and many don't get the support they need when feeling this way.  While this is an exhilarating time, your nerves and anxieties are valid. The second you get that ring on your finger, your personal life and boundaries go right out the door, and everyone wants to know every detail, even some that you haven't even planned out or thought about yet! When is the date? Where did you get your dress? What does it look like? But here's the thing: no one asks how you are doing.  Here is my hot take: society has made weddings so impractical and unreasonable that any bride-to-be feels overwhelmed. Everythi...

Rifts and Rays: Restoring Kindness in a Fractured World

 In a world where things are often dark and negativity creeps around every corner, there is always a rift in the clouds for the sun to appear. Today, we are experiencing more cloudy days than sunny. People no longer respect boundaries or treat others with respect because they do not see eye to eye with other individuals. This is creating a rift in our world.  When did people stop caring about treating others the way we want to be treated? When did people think that it is okay to put others down because they are different from us? When was this ever okay to accept in our society? The answer is never. We, as humans, act upon how we observe others. When we see other individuals we love tearing someone else down, we do the same. The pattern continues until later down the line someone wakes up and stops it, breaking the cycle and starting a new pattern from scratch. We all have different religious affiliations and beliefs, but when did any of that mean disrespecting your neighbor?...
