Broken Hearts. I have had a few broken hearts in my lifetime, and I am sure it will break a few more times as I make more connections with people. I have never been in a romantic relationship so; this isn’t the expected Taylor Swift version of blog posts. Though I haven’t been “in love” with anyone, that doesn’t mean I haven’t loved anyone.

 My first heartbreak occurred when I was too young to remember. I was born with a congenital heart defect so; I literally have a broken heart. I am fine now; I don’t need any pity party thrown for me. This broken heart has always been a part of me, and I will never have a life without it.  

On to the emotional side of heartbreak, you know, the one we all expected this post would be about. My second heartbreak happened in second grade, when I was told my best friend at the time was moving away and leaving our school. At that school, I was bullied for eight years. She was the only true friend I had. Now reflecting on those times, I realize, she was the only one who understood the amount of pain I endured daily. She was my umbrella in the storm of life. Her friendship brought sunshine to my darkened days. I cried and had emotional breakdowns for weeks following her leave.

I have experienced many since this break. I have experienced cracks and shatters in my heart but, that just makes more pieces of it to give away.  I have been hurt a lot and I know a lot of others are too. So, I will continue sharing it with complete strangers like you so, maybe one day I will be the one who gives healing to a broken heart.

Elizabeth's Blog Post #20

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #20 By: Elizabeth Crotts   One of my pet peeves is poor grammar. I don’t understand how people have gone far in life without forming a proper sentence. Bad punctuation and spelling bother me so much. I’ve met fully grown adults who don’t know when to use a period. Honestly, if I see grammatical issues or spelling mistakes, I will not hesitate to inform the author. I majority of the time do this respectfully but, sometimes it just blurts out of my mouth in a very blunt manner. My minor pet peeves include people who can’t close a door. Especially if it is in my room. There is no need for you to leave it cracked, just fully close the door. This also applies to windows and cabinets. Another one of my annoyances is when people leave the bathroom while brushing their teeth. I know this one is out of left field but, it just messes me up. You brush your teeth in the bathroom, not the bedroom, not the kitchen, not in your closet. Just in the bathroom...

Elizabeth's Blog Post #19

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #19 By: Elizabeth Crotts   Everyone has annoyances and irritating triggers. They are typically produced when we are young by our siblings, parents, neighbors, and even strangers. We all get spontaneously irrational when someone acts or speaks a specific way. Some people hate the word “moist.” Some people hate the sound of Styrofoam or nails on the chalkboard. One of the biggest pet peeves to most people is loud, open-mouth chewing. That’s not one of my pet peeves, but I do find it gross. Just close your mouth, you are not a cow. This food isn’t cud! Moving on from what irritates the general public, I present my pet peeves. My blood does not boil faster than when other people steal my food. Those are fighting actions in my book. It’s MY FOOD. I will even clarify more if you ask for a bite and I respond no. That is my final answer. If you try stealing a French fry, I will bite off your finger and turn it into a fry. Go ahead, ask my family if ...

Elizabeth's Blog Post #3

  EElizabeth’s English 111 Blog #3 By: Elizabeth Crotts                   Interests, Advice, and Trends are the topics that largely form blog posts. I have few to no interests. No one is going to take advice from a teenager behind a computer. As well as the last known trend I was aware of was light-up, bedazzled sketchers, and Disney’s cartoon Cinderella. It’s safe to say that trend died at least a decade ago. For anyone who’s asking, yes, I did partake in those girly 2010s trends.                   I went so far into this obsession that I had a Cinderella-themed birthday party when I was five. I dressed up like Cinderella and made my parents and siblings dress up too. The party was catered by my grandmother’s business. My wonderful grandmother made me a giant castle-shaped cake with Disney princess figurines posed...
