I’ve come to realize you can’t make people love you. It’s all about choices. Unfortunately for me, I learned it the worst way possible. I love very hard and I expect people to love the same way I do but that’s not the case. I was going against everything I wanted to be with him and truth is, our timing wasn’t right. He just got out of something and I just liked him so much to see right past it. Deep down I knew this wasn’t going to work out but my heart really wanted it to. Before him, I couldn’t feel. I didn’t know how to speak up when things felt wrong. I’ve learned a lot from it. Walking away was the hardest though. I knew it for myself he didn’t want to be with me but I wanted to believe he did. I tried to make the little things he did enough but the truth is, I was putting in every part of me to try to get him to love me the way I loved him. The change was hard but it was a blessing. I’ve learned boundaries and I’ve learned to find people that match the love you give.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
