Dear BPB,

College.

It's hard. It's harder to find a romantic interest here. I was too busy passing requirements that I didn't have time to mingle with other people. I was too focused on proving myself in academics that I didn't have a social life already.

It is so draining but empowering too at the same time. After depression and a lot of anxiety attacks, I will graduate in a week. Magna Cum Laude in BS Biology, my pre-med. 

I know that I still need to take a long way to get to my dream but one thing I realize is... I don't really need a man to be satisfied.

I can love myself.

Book fantasies are just in books. They are fiction for a reason. People have shortcomings and they aren't perfect. Someone told me that if you can't find a green flag, be one. Spread the good word and positivity. Everyone deserves a king, but you should also be deserving of a queen.

A little tip: Learn to love yourself first. If you're content with yourself, then you don't need a partner to prove your worth.

It took me years to swallow this concept. To intake this pill of truth. Sometimes, something isn't just for us... but the world will continue to move on. That's why we should not stop chasing our fate because there will be a different path paved for us.

It's a bitter truth, yes.

But I had no choice.

Well, at least I have a diploma. Academic validation is all I freaking need! Freak men! Scram all they want and I WILL NOT CARE! Not my loss, stay safe tho xx

Satisfied,

Liz
