Tyler,
This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I’m not exactly sure what to say or where to start. I don’t know how to let go of someone I love. I truly love you Tyler and care about you so much, but we need to come to an end. Over the past month or so I have been questioning us but even more so myself. It’s been a really difficult time for me and I am trying to figure out whom I am and what I want to do in life. I love school and want to focus on my future. I need to figure out where I want to go and focus on me. It’s so unfair to you and difficult to be with you or anyone for that matter when I don’t know who I am and where I want to go. I need to figure this out so badly Tyler, it’s killing me every day. I need to be happy with myself before anyone comes into

I’m so sorry I couldn’t explain this to you earlier. I was wrong for ignoring the conflicts we had just brushing them away thinking it would be okay and just go away, but I cant run away from myself. I have to accept that this is the right thing to do even though I don’t want to do it. I’m so confused with us and myself. I need my groundings back. It’s not easy for me to let go of someone I love, and it’s even harder when I know it’s the right thing and something I need to do. You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s me, and that kills me. I know that sounds stupid but it’s true. You are such an amazing person and deserve the world. Sometimes you don’t treat me all that great but in the end I don’t think there’s a better person out there than you Tyler. The love that you give me is so incredible but I’m not ready for that right now or maybe ever. And I do love you and care about you. See how this is so hard and confusing…but I know I need this. I need to fix myself before anyone else is
Most of my kindergarten to fourth grade years were spent in Peoria. We were a mixed family; my mother, sister, and I, with Gary Toubeau (stepfather), Tyler (stepbrother), and Michelle (stepsister). Gary had only seen a mixed family, whenever he has to choose between his children or his step children. Tyler abused this and the fact that he was the oldest, usually resulting in Tyler’s way many times. Michelle was different from the other two. Michelle, also known as, “Showie,” would spend more time with her “mixed family members” rather than her “real family.” One day, my mom had enough of Gary’s abusive treatment, when he actually physically touched her (as if he were going to hit her). The divorce ended bitterly, as Gary had found a
When I first walked into the cottage that I was going to be living in and I met my cottage mom and my cottage dad. The cottage parents names where Mr. Inman and Mrs. Inman and they really kind of hit it off with my mom and dad. But when I walked in I only met a couple of the boys that were already there the first kid I met was Landon Maddon and i had to help him move out of the room that I was going to be in. The next kid I met was Buddy Crews and it was really creepy because he was really weird and just talked to talked and he just said the most randomest things. Then I meet Josh Ross my roommate I learned really quick from him not to say lip why?, because he has a really big bottom lip and everyone calls him big lip. So I mean when I first
I started to struggle academically as well as athletically, when my closet cousin, Alex Wolfe, committed suicide last year. I felt like I didn't care anymore and I was mad at the world. I was also mad at the school, so therefor, I didn't want do anything for it. I had an eye opening dream one night that involved Alex and I woke up the next morning and made a decision. I knew that I had overcame many obstacles and trials so I knew I had the guts to overcome this as well. I knew Alex would want me to excel instead of fall behind, so I did it. I went into every class that day with the perspective that I was going to do my very best in whatever I do. That same thing went for practices and games. I now regularly stay in that mindset and it helps
My legs are way too tired to keep me up, so I don’t mind that I’m probably sitting on a cigarette butt in my nice jeans. My stomach is doing leaps from excitement: I’m here after seeing a Julian + the Voidz show with one of my best friends, Shriya, waiting around and cracking jokes after midnight. While we know Julian Casablancas might come through the back stage door at any moment, we are sure the night won’t have been wasted if he doesn’t show. It’s all part of the fun: We commune with the other girls circled near the bolted door, cracking jokes about the band members and sharing bags of
40-30, first serve, match point. As the ball reaches the apex of its trajectory, the muscles in my legs uncoil as I spring up from a crouched position to meet the ball with one fluid motion. The contact feels solid, and I watch as the magnus effect curves the fuzzy yellow ball towards the T. As my opponent reaches futilely towards the perfectly placed serve, I am rushed with excitement and happiness. And then it faded. I was now in the dark, listening to the harsh beep of the alarm clock, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, grasping for the ephemeral feeling of euphoria.
As the dark stadium filled with fire, with the sounds of guns and bombs exploding everywhere, the crazed fans yelled at the top of their lungs. The enormous stage was rumbling with the sound of a single guitar as the band slowly started their next encore performance. Soon after I realized that I was actually at the Sanitarium concert listening to Metallica play "One", I thought to my self, "Is this real, am I actually here right now?" I had a weird feeling the entire time because I had worked all summer to simply listen to music with a bunch of strangers.
I loved her you know. I loved her, before, before she changed. Before everything went wrong. Before she killed herself. I’m pretty sure it was my fault too. If only I had been brave enough, like she was, but I guess that’s why people humiliated her. I guess that’s why she died; because I was a coward. I wish I hadn’t of been, she wouldn’t be in a grave if I had just had the courage. I loved her too. She didn’t know it, but I tried to hint at it. I guess she thought I was leading her on or something. I tried to tell her but every time I did attempt to, she would look up at me with those big brown eyes and I would melt and nothing would come out.
I know that I start things between us a lot of the time, but even you know why. You know that it took a lot for me to trust you, but now I do. I am so happy that you are still here with me, being patient, and still by my side. So many people say that I will not make it far in life, but they do not understand me, let alone know me. So many of those people do not know how hard you push me to make something of myself. In the past, I honestly believed that I would not make it anywhere, but now I know that as long as I am happy and still alive, with you by my side I am doing great and can achieve anything.
Hi Justin! First of all, nice to meet you. The decision to come to the United States to study took it from my junior year of high school so I had time to prepare for this new environment. However, learning English was complicated because in Puerto Rico, although English is the second language, it is not spoken so learning a new language without putting it into practice is difficult. I took the SAT twice, the first time I did not do well but instead of getting frustrated, I decided to study hard and take it again. The second time I got an outstanding score, which I could not believe. When I arrived in Jacksonville, I was terrified to speak English and say something bad, causing people to laugh. It was a terror for me to do the college registration
I may have more than a thousand people surrounding me at the moment, but no one is as important to me as Tyler Joseph. I have never cared and appreciated someone’s life as much as Tylers’. Tyler is the singer in the two person band, TwentyOnePilots. This band has done so much for me, it is very difficult to describe. Tyler has mainly made me feel overwhelmingly important, he makes me feel optimistic when needed, he gives me hope every day of my life, but most important of all, he keeps me alive.
You have this diluted fantasy of the perfect life, but you have never realized that life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to. You have no control over that. Either things work or they don't. Either both sides try or they don't. You cannot row a canoe with one paddle. Have you ever thought that maybe you haven't met your soul mate yet or that there isn't one out there for you? Or maybe, just maybe, you're not ready for real, unconditional love because like I said above, you still act like a teenager so the only thing you'll ever experience is puppy love or infatuation until you develop further mentally. It means doing things you don't want to do without freaking out or throwing a hissy fit and actually being an adult about things. You have a son that needs a father, but you don't care. You only care about "having a life" but you don't seem to understand that your son should be your entire life. Things didn't have to be like this. You could have continued taking classes and you'd be so much closer to seeing your son, but you pissed that away.When you got out the first time you promised Brandon and me that you'd do the right thing, and I actually believed you. But, no
"'Never again.' That's what I said to myself. 'I never want to feel your kind of pain again.' Just when I think it's over, just when I think it's through... I find myself back in love with you."
Do you honestly think I have no right to be angry or frustrated? For the past 3 frickin' years, I've stayed up all nights some nights thinking about you and us; and, working my ass off to show you that, though there's distance between us, that you can bet your life that my love is there and strong for you. I know what you feel when you say that you need someone and something to touch. I've finally gotten in touch with you in a way that I can hear your voice. Just as I was saying in my last email, there will be some fucking hard ass times, and then there will be worse ones. This is one of those times that is going to be hard, and I believe if there was any love there for me, you wouldn't just give up. I've always been skeptical about how you felt, that's just how I am, but then finally, in one email, after I called you for the first time you said, and I quote, "...before we had our talk, I mean.. yeah.. I liked you ALOT...". But then you went on to say that you finally knew in your heart that you truly loved me. I'm beginning to think you were just caught up in the moment. And to think, that was exactly a month ago. One frickin' month ago, you said you were sure, and now you aren't. I know for a fact that love is something you cannot all of a sudden gain, or lose. It will take time as in more than a couple weeks, but more like a couple months or years.
My Sophomore year I had been dating a very special girl for almost a year when I did the unspeakable to her. I cheated on her with a friend of ours for the period of a month. In that month I was not thinking about what I was doing or how badly she would be hurt if she ever found out. I forgot about all of the emotions attached to this situation, and just let my sixteen hormones take over. She eventually found out, and it destroyed her. How could someone she loved so much do something so awful. This was the first time I had broke down since my parents spilt up. The day she found out I drove her home from school, and she seemed so emotionless, so empty on the inside. I didn’t get how I did this to her. The moment I heard “I’m breaking up with you” was the moment I profusely began crying, and it went on for an hour. Even though she was the one hurting, she held me the entire time trying to comfort me the best she could. She made me realize how deep a persons kindness should go, she changed me into knowing how much it matters to take into account other people’s feelings. She taught me the generosity necessary to be a good human, a great human
Have you ever felt like your life was perfect? Like nothing in your life at that point in time can go wrong? Where someone becomes the center of your universe? Thinking that nothing will break you two up? At that point in life that’s your forever. Well that 's how I felt a year ago when my life was at its best point. May seventh 2014 changed my life forever. I was madly in love with my ex-boyfriend, Gaby. He was the most beautiful person I 've met that year. We had our honeymoon stage, where we couldn 't live without each other. Our love was at its strongest point. Then there was the true color stage where we loved each other but everything went wrong. We started to see each other for who we truly were. Then there was the final stage, the breakup stage. That was
