    My parents do know. Or at least they know, but they don’t know the extent of my unhappiness.
    They know of my struggles with school, and with making friends. They know about my depression and anxiety. They know about all of the drama that has occurred within the past two years. I just don’t think they understand HOW much I don’t enjoy being at this university.

    Hi Henry,

    My main reason for ending my ties with Christianity is because the entire concept became truly corrupt. I believe that the Bible has great morals. I believe that some people truly need a god or God, or need some guidance in their lives. Some people need that safety and trust that someone is taking care of them in this cruel world. But what strayed me away was the negativity that came with groups of any religion. This stands true with Catholics, Mormons, Atheists, etc etc etc. The idea of a religion became more of telling other religions that they were wrong because -insert long list-, rather than believing in what they do and allowing others to do the same. I just believe that just because one person believes in something doesn’t make someone else’s beliefs invalid in any way.

    What really tipped me off the edge is when people would do cruel and unjust things and blame it on the grace of God. Discriminating others, killing others, badmouthing others even. There is no reason to do those things. And it became so hypocritical that Christians value the whole “Love your brothers and sisters” but cannot love their brothers and sisters that are different than them in any way, shape, or form.

    I choose to love the entire crowd no matter what race, religion, or age they are. And being in a large church or religious group sometimes can restrict that or be frowned upon.

    Dear Rachael,

    The thing about relationships is that both parties should be supportive and positive aspect to the other person’s life. They should encourage them to reach their full potential without holding them down. Long distance is hard.. I know that for a fact. I’ve been in a LDR for a little over a year, and I know how much of a struggle it is. But you also have to take into account that this is your life. If a guy truly loves you and wants to be with you, he’ll do everything in his power to make it work. He’ll visit you in Korea. He’ll make time for skype and phone calls. He’ll be there for you and be your biggest supporter to allow you to soar through life. If he does not do that, then why would you want to change your entire life for a relationship that is not guaranteed?

    No relationship is finalized, even marriages. Nothing is for certain will last forever.. It’s certainly sad to think about it that way. But if your boyfriend truly wanted the best for you, then he would be supportive of your decision to go and teach in Korea. Heck, he may even think it’s the best thing for you to do and be proud that you’re taking initiative with your life.

    Do what YOU want to do. Don’t make decisions based on a loved one. Yes, things may turn out wonderfully if you do find yourself in Europe with him. But what if they don’t? You don’t want to hold that resentment towards him and blame him that the reason you’re unhappy is because of him. It could go two ways: it working and it not. It’s just best to do what you WANT to do because at the end of the day, your happiness and life is what matters, not other people’s.
