I Wish I Were Her

I Wish I Were Her
 
I wish I was only three months older to tell the current me
that everything now happening was all meant to be.
To wipe her tears and give her long hugs,
After all, my love is the best love.

Everything I'm going through is only for a time
That twisting at the bottom of my stomach
All the blank stares
The tight contracting in my throat won't always be there.

Three months older me is happy
And she laughs about today
She tells the story with tears in her eyes
Tearing up from laughter, and then she will say
"That day I lost my laptop charger, I was so distraught
but look at this whole new laptop that I just bought."

About the Poem
That's all I wrote that night it could be better but I penned it in just 10 minutes. Before I started writing I was feeling terrible because a lot had happened the day before, so my sadness was at the peak because of something you might think is so small.
It was through writing down my feelings that I realized that what I was worrying about was not worth it. Also, the fact that it even made me write also showed how much good it was instead of bad because I really love writing and have not done so in a while.
For everyone reading this I want to encourage you not to suppress your feeling, you might have heard "don't sweat the small stuff" but I'm encouraging you to let it all out, because all those "small stuff" add up. The results of you letting out your emotion and letting yourself feel and then heal, will be amazing!

PS
I found my laptop charger at the exact place I left it, three days after.

My Work and Travel Experience

  The summer of 2017, I participated in the Summer Work and Travel Program. This program allowed me to work and live in the United States of America for a little over 3 months on a J1 Visa. The main aim of the program is to learn more about American culture by having first-hand experience through living amongst their people. However, this program turned out to be way better than what I had expected. I learned so much and had a wonderful experience that I intend to go back next summer. The company I worked with hired 9 students, four of us were from Jamaica, two from the Philippines, one from Kazakhstan and two from Ukraine. This program is described as a cultural exchange, between American culture and your own culture. But through this program I was learning about more than just the American culture. I shared a home with two Filipino girls, so their culture was one that I came in direct contact with. I loved learning new things from them and they were such amazing person...

How To Lose Weight Fast (Without Exercise)

          Mid-October I decided that I wanted to lose some weight because since I've been on the work and travel program I gained twenty pounds. I believe eating McDonald's and pizza every opportunity I got was what led to my weight gain. Honestly, the weight didn't matter much to me until almost everyone I knew told me I had gotten fat.      Since I was in highschool my problem area was my stomach, my dream was to have a flat stomach, that was all. I would do ab workouts as often as I could but nothing would change. I did the same thing in university; I went on YouTube and found ab workouts  and I would do them daily, yet still my pouch was not going anywhere. Around my second year in university I found out after doing some research that for me to lose my belly weight I could not only do ab workouts but a full body workout. So I started jogging, and again I was not seeing any results.      So let'...
