Hi, this story is hard for me and to this day still makes me a little upset. The people in this will be random names to hide the real names.
This all started up in my junior year of high school. Me and my friends went to prom and one of the girls “Sarah” (that i didn’t know) was chilling with us and her boyfriend. Sarah didn’t want to dance the whole prom so she let her date dance with us. The guy “Trent” interstates into our friend group after that. Trent and Sarah broke up after a month of dating.
Trent is still in our friend group and she left. After awhile me and Trent started to date. We dated my 2nd semester of junior year , of and on for 3 years. We loved eachother so much, after a year he got me a promise ring. He was my first kiss, and took away my innocence. In high school, I was not that talk ice so I never had a boyfriend up until this point . I was focused on my grades and getting into college but there was something about him. Trent was the funniest, caring , sweet and very handsome. I was seventeen and he was sixteen when we started to date. Up until my senior year, my friend got a little to interested in him and started to tell him what I had told her in secret about my feelings. Trent helped me through my anorexia , helped me through all my health issues and cared. Whenever we stoped talking he still made sure I was ok when he noticed I wasn’t in class or he didn’t see me in the hallways since our classes were close to eachothers. This girl , her name was Cara. Cara and I were friends since ninth grade. One day me and Trent had an argument and it involved me balling my eyes out running away, Trent went after me but cara stopped him. Instead of her comforting me, she went to him. Later that day...she told me . Trent broke up with me and she had told Trent I broke up with him. So me and him stopped talking. Since it wasn’t right that we weren’t talking or in eachothers life we made up, and became friends. Trent denied cara and her feeling so she stopped being friends with him. While I found out later on that she was the reason we broke up. Me and Trent were just friends from then on. He still drove me home, took me to church , and hung out like normal.
eventually all good things come to an end , we tried again. To be with eachother. That lasted 4 months until my 1st semester in college. Trent realized he couldn’t be with me because I was to far away and I could find someone better. (Bs excuse if you ask me). That was the last time and when I heard that something snapped in me. I went through an uncontrollable depression. I drank, slept, and talked to no one. For my whole first semester I don’t remember. I passed all my classes , and continued onto my second year. Life without Trent.. did not feel right. He was there for my junior and senior prom, my graduation and me getting my acceptance letter.
Years go by , where I still though about him. Tried to text him , but I was always ignored. Of course Trent found someone new, broke up with her for the same reason and kept moving on. While I was just stuck. I couldn’t get over him , I cried every night in my dorm room because it was so routine to FaceTime before bed. I never went home because he lived down the street. Even though I only lived an hour away I couldn’t bring myself to go home. When I did go home, I didn’t go out...hell I didn’t even tell my “friends” I was home.
Eventually I got over him . Met a nice guy and we dated for 6 months before he broke up with me. I’m thinking at this point , I have to be not enough for anyone to want me. Which made things spiral even more. After awhile i went on dates , and dated one more person. Realized it felt weird to be with someone else, but I had to come to a realization Trent no longer loved me.
I go onto my 3rd year and I’m finally of with being alone . Today I am still in college, I have one more semester until I graduate. I haven’t thought about him much but I know I do not need him. When I started to work where I do now. I met a guy , who is two years older than I am. Matt is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met. We started talking and now we are dating. In those years before I met him , I realized even though it was so hard , I had to love myself and become confident. I had to shake off the damage that Trent caused me to feel and realize that I am worth it and I’m worthy of love.
Me and Matt have been dating for months and I’ve never thought about Trent once. Me and Trent still now and then talk but I realized .....I love Matt way more than I ever loved Trent . Matt saved me from myself and all of the doubt. He treats me like how men are supposed to treat women. With respect and so much love and care.
When I decided to forget Trent I worked on me. Instead of still alone in my room I went to the gym and worked on my body , I started taking my medication and getting on track. I stopped drinking and studied . Made friends and we hung out everyday and had sleepovers . To this day I am still friends with them and Matt introduced me to other friends who I love dearly. They all saved me from any doubt of me being not worthy. They all include me whoever they go out , and keep me up to date of parties Incase I’m off of work.
Getting over Trent was the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done. It opened so many doors and closed more. That part of my life is a good memory but that’s what it will always be. Just a memory.

Title: "Jimmy Carter: An American Excursion of Sympathy and Administration"
In the tranquil town of Fields, Georgia, there carried on with a little fellow named Jimmy who had a voracious interest and endless energy. Since the beginning, he longed for having an effect on the planet, enlivened by the tales of extraordinary legends he read about in books. As Jimmy became older, his feeling of direction just escalated. Not entirely settled to make history, to go to bat for what was correct and battle for the people who couldn't battle for themselves. With a heart loaded with desire and a head brimming with dreams, Jimmy set out on an excursion that would lead him to become perhaps of the most cherished and powerful figure in American history. His name was Jimmy Carter. From his unassuming starting points in provincial Georgia to the consecrated corridors of the White House, Jimmy Carter's process was one of boldness, sympathy, and unflinching commitment to serving others. As a young fellow, Jimmy was attracted to the goals of equity and equity, propelled by the social liberties development that was clearing across the South. He chipped in for the Harmony Corps, venturing out to far off towns in Africa to assist with further developing admittance to medical services and schooling. Yet, it was his re-visitation of Georgia that would genuinely show Jimmy the way to significance. Energized by a longing to make positive change in his own local area, Jimmy hurled himself entirely into nearby governmental issues, ultimately ascending to turn into the legislative head of Georgia. His experience as lead representative was set apart by striking changes and moderate approaches, acquiring him public acknowledgment and making way for his possible campaign for the most elevated position in the land. In 1976, Jimmy Carter was chosen Leader of the US in a notable triumph that caught the creative mind of the country. His administration was characterized by a pledge to harmony, discretion, and common liberties, as he worked energetically to facilitate nonaggression treaties, advance natural protection, and champion the freedoms of ladies and minorities. In any case, maybe Jimmy Carter's most prominent inheritance lies not in that frame of mind of force, but rather in the endless lives he contacted through his generous work and philanthropic endeavors. Indeed, even subsequent to leaving office, Jimmy kept on devoting himself to causes more significant than himself, building homes for the destitute, upholding for worldwide wellbeing drives, and energetically attempting to advance harmony and a majority rules government all over the planet. Today, Jimmy Carter is recollected as an incredible pioneer, yet as a genuine American legend whose empathy, honesty, and unflinching devotion to support keep on moving ages of Americans to take a stab at a superior world. In the quiet town of Fields, Georgia, the sun rose over fields of cotton, giving occasion to feel qualms about a warm gleam the unobtrusive home where Jimmy Carter spent his childhood days. Since the beginning, Jimmy was imparted with the upsides of difficult work, lowliness, and empathy by his caring guardians, Lord and Lillian Carter. As a little fellow, Jimmy's creative mind took off as he ate up books about history, science, and the existences of extraordinary pioneers. He was especially attracted to the tales of Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Martin Luther Lord Jr., whose fortitude and vision motivated him to accept that one individual could genuinely have an effect on the planet. Jimmy's hunger for information drove him to succeed in school, where he separated himself as a splendid and aggressive understudy. He fantasized going to the US Maritime Foundation and serving his country as a maritime official, a fantasy that would at last turn into a reality. In the wake of moving on from the Maritime Foundation in 1946, Jimmy left on a recognized military profession, serving on board submarines and ascending through the positions to turn into a regarded official. It was during this time that Jimmy's feeling of obligation and obligation to support developed, as he saw firsthand the penances made by his kindred servicemen and ladies. In any case, Jimmy's life would go off in a strange direction when his dad became sick and died, provoking him to leave the Naval force and get back to Georgia to assume control over the family nut ranch. It was here, in the midst of the fields of peanuts and cotton, that Jimmy would track down his actual reason for living. Driven by a craving to work on the existences of people around him, Jimmy hurled himself entirely into local area activism and nearby governmental issues, in the end ascending to turn into the legislative leader of Georgia in 1971. His residency as lead representative was set apart by a progression of moderate changes, including extending admittance to medical services, further developing schooling, and advancing racial fairness. In 1976, Jimmy Carter sent off his notable mission for the administration, running on a foundation of trustworthiness, uprightness, and sympathy. Despite everything, Jimmy arose triumphant, turning into the 39th Leader of the US and satisfying his life as a youngster fantasy about serving his country at the most elevated level. As president, Jimmy Carter's initiative was characterized by a pledge to discretion, common liberties, and civil rights. He handled noteworthy nonaggression treaties among Israel and Egypt, advocated the privileges of ladies and minorities, and worked enthusiastically to lighten destitution and craving both at home and abroad. Yet, maybe Jimmy Carter's most persevering through inheritance lies in his post-official years, where he has committed himself to compassionate causes and charity through the Carter Community. From killing illnesses like Guinea worm and stream visual deficiency to advancing majority rules government and compromise all over the planet, Jimmy Carter's enthusiastic endeavors have contacted the existences of millions and roused another age of pioneers to emulate his example. Today, Jimmy Carter's heritage lives on as a brilliant illustration of being a genuine American legend - a man of trustworthiness, empathy, and relentless commitment to serving others. From the cotton fields of Fields, Georgia, to the blessed lobbies of the White House and then some, Jimmy Carter's process reminds us generally that with fortitude, assurance, and an unflinching obligation to our qualities, the sky is the limit.
