Quick Note: As an editorial club, we normally correct all grammatical errors — it’s part of what we do. However, after reading this piece, I made the decision as Editor-in-Chief to leave it exactly as it was written. Editing it would have taken away the author’s voice and the raw emotion behind the words. This is my fourth year in the program (technically my fifth, if you include helping my brother set it up), and we have never published something completely unedited before. I believe that speaks to how genuine and powerful this piece is. That being said, enjoy your read! -Téa Sunahara

When i first met you i didnt know how big of an impact you would have on my life you would have i thought you would be another person who i would eventually forget another girl in my life who i would eventually move on from but since the day we stopped talking the first time i had never stopped thinking of you i am tied to you and i hope i will never be untied i love you to the ends of the universe and i know we've had our up and downs mainly because of my stupid actions and you have always been there to forgive me and remind me that relationships are meant to be worked on and nothing is perfect and that is almost true the only exception is you and your beauty you are like an angel that came down and i fell in love with and i thank god for you every day for that you taught me that its ok to cry and open up to you about any problems i have and even though i dont always do i know that i always have an option to and ive never had that without feeling like a burden but with you i never feel like that i know that you love me and that you have always been there for me when god created adam he took one of his ribs to make eve and my whole life i have been searching for my missing rib and i know for a fact that i have found mine you are the love of my life and even though sometimes i may get angry or frustrated when i shouldnt you are always their to remind me that i have to keep going and i cant stay still and keep moving and now in my journey through life i have my life parter to keep me company even when i think im alone in the dark your always their with your beautiful smile and eyes to show me that im not alone in the dark and that i have you, you have betterd my life in more ways that you can imagine you make me want to be a better person not only to you but to people around me and that life isnt always about being mad and sad but that its about joy and happines and that theirs more about life than just violence but about being in love and feeling true joy in staring into the eyes of mi vida and i love the joy it brings you when you squish my cheeks and when you poke my ribs even though im terrified of that you are the most amazing person ive ever met everytime i see you i cant help but smile and make my heart race i dont know what my future holds for me or us but i do know is that as long as i have you we can make it through any challenge life throws at me and everytime i close my eyes and go to sleep i have a smile on my face because i know that no matter how bad life gets theirs always at least one good thing in my life and that's you, you are the most amazing person mi amor

I'm really sorry, I know that the way I wrote this is horrible, but it came from the heart. I love you so much, Samantha Regina Corea Aleman.
