1. Little insults matter. Subtle backhanded compliments and rude comments dropped here and there might not seem like a big deal. They might not seem like grounds for a breakup at first. But they can make someone grow in a different direction than you. They can make someone stop trusting you. They can make someone feel uncomfortable around you, like they can’t tell you anything, like you’re going to judge them. Little insults, even when they’re meant to be funny, can ruin the relationship. It can make your partner pull away from you. It can convince them they can do better.
2. Little snippets of effort matter. Small acts of kindness can go a long way. Grand romantic gestures are wonderful — but they’re not the most important part of a relationship.

Sending them good night texts. Asking them how their friends and family have been. Buying their favorite snacks when you go grocery shopping. These little things add up. They make a relationship stronger.

You might completely forget you said something moments after it leaves your mouth, but your person might remember those words forever. It might boost their mood and their confidence. Make sure you never hold back your feelings from your partner. Don’t hesitate to tell them how wonderful they look or how much you love them. Don’t let a day go by without reminding them how much they mean to you.
5. Little arguments matter. More importantly, how you handle little arguments matter. Whether you’re fighting over something silly or serious, you should take your partner’s feelings into consideration. You should listen to their side of the story. You shouldn’t curse them out or act like your opinion matters more than their own. You shouldn’t make them feel crazy over their emotions. You should treat them with respect, always.

So Maybe I Want You To Miss Me

Missing you comes in waves , sometimes they drown me .
Some days the waves of missing you are so strong it feels as if I ’ m being held down by high tides .
It ’ s never a feeling I want to have .
No one wants to feel suffocated by a feeling they can ’ t control .
It ’ s not always a bad thing though .
Some of those days when the waves are drowning me I just sit there and take it all in .
All the joy , all the pain , all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and me .
I let it all emerge me .
Some days I cry , and some days I smile .
Other days I don ’ t think of you at all .
So maybe I want you to miss me .
So maybe I want you to feel consumed with all the emotions of me .
I don ’ t want you to feel the suffocation like I do , not often anyway .
Some days I wish you had the slightest idea so that maybe you would be more considerate of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you didn ’ t try to pop in every time you felt lonely .
Saying anything possible to get me to give into you .
Those games they get tiresome , honey .
I don ’ t want to pick up the phone when you call anymore .
I don ’ t want to comfort you anymore .
Damnit for once I want you to miss me .
And I mean really miss me .
I want you to feel how horrible it is to do without when you ’ re in need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a hurricane with thoughts of me .
I want you to look outside , see the sunshine , and think of my smile .
I want you to hear the rain on your roof and have a rush of warmth thinking of my presence .
I want you to get angry when it storms ; when the thunder rolls and the lightning strikes .
I want you to feel the regret hit you .
I want it to sink in .
I want you to drown in the waves of all those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me drown for so long .
I want you to feel it all , and when you feel like you can ’ t breathe— I want you to know that I ’ m not worth it .
I was never worth it to you .
For you to have just thrown me around like a doll .
I was never worth your time when you had a choice .
I ’ m not worth that ache you feel now that you know it ’ s all over .
There ’ s no relief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this wave .
All I ask is that when you experience this emotional hurricane that you don ’ t come back to me .
I don ’ t want you anymore ; I don ’ t want to save you anymore .
So maybe I want you to miss me , just this once .
Maybe if you feel what I ’ ve been consumed with for so long , maybe just maybe , you won ’ t drown me again .
So maybe I want you to miss me , but missing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waste your time trying to tell me that you miss me .
Please , just let me be .

So when you start missing me , please , just let me be .

Missing you comes in waves, sometimes they drown me. Some days the waves of missing you are so strong it feels as if I’m being held down by high tides. It’s never a feeling I want to have. No one wants to feel suffocated by a feeling they can’t control. It’s not always a bad thing though. Some of those days when the waves are drowning me I just sit there and take it all in. All the joy, all the pain, all the memories. Everything that made you and me. I let it all emerge me. Some days I cry, and some days I smile. Other days I don’t think of you at all.
So maybe I want you to miss me. So maybe I want you to feel consumed with all the emotions of me. I don’t want you to feel the suffocation like I do, not often anyway. Some days I wish you had the slightest idea so that maybe you would be more considerate of me. It would be nice if you didn’t try to pop in every time you felt lonely.

I want you to feel the regret hit you. I want it to sink in.
I want you to drown in the waves of all those emotions the way you’ve made me drown for so long. I want you to feel it all, and when you feel like you can’t breathe— I want you to know that I’m not worth it. I was never worth it to you. For you to have just thrown me around like a doll. I was never worth your time when you had a choice. I’m not worth that ache you feel now that you know it’s all over. There’s no relief, no lifeguard to save you from this wave. All I ask is that when you experience this emotional hurricane that you don’t come back to me. I don’t want you anymore; I don’t want to save you anymore.
So maybe I want you to miss me, just this once. Maybe if you feel what I’ve been consumed with for so long, maybe just maybe, you won’t drown me again.
So maybe I want you to miss me, but missing me is all. Don’t waste your time trying to tell me that you miss me. Please, just let me be. I never bothered you when I missed you. I never did anything except give in to your every request. I’ve found peace in your sea. I’ve found peace sitting on the shore alone watching the waves crash. I’ve found peace with being just me.

thoughtcatalog--2020-10-23--An Open Letter To Anyone Turning 30 This Year

We are turning 30 this year .
It feels like just yesterday when we rollerbladed around the garage with Spice Girls playing in our Walkmans .
We are getting old enough to become irrelevant .
Still , we think we are cool because we know what Harry Potter house we belong to .
This is becoming shameful , since J.K Rowling took a transphobic stance .
Still , we spread ourselves across Hogwarts houses the way we spread avocado on toast .
Our house is nearly as divisive as our political stance .
We like that these things define us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There was a time we dreamed about this moment .
Lip Smucker kisses and Lisa Frank notebooks held our secrets .
We played with Barbie and gave her a dream house , which we thought we might own by now .
I can remember pulling my hair back into colorful clips while sitting in front of the mirror with my sister .
I covered myself in costume jewelry and ‘ 90s propaganda .
We played games where we found dates , got married , had babies , bought a house , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of us still have not won the game .
We are turning 30 this year .
Some of us are throwing parties .
We are all throwing funerals for our 20s .
What did we do with them ?
I guess we watched the world catch on fire .
I suppose we let go a little bit when we realized we could not change the world .
We decided it might be better just to change ourselves .
We all know our Myers-Briggs personality types and write it on our online dating profiles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Self-transcendence is a thing of the past .
We are turning 30 this year .
Some of us already have .
Each invite to a “ dirty 30 ” birthday party feels like marching in a funeral procession .
Gone are the bridesmaid dresses and baby showers .
Gone are the drunken karaoke nights singing Eminem and Britney Spears .
They are as irrelevant as us now .
To drunkenly stand in front of a crowd and sing these songs is as shameful as when Britney shaved her head .
We have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grew up .
We are turning 30 this year .
Some of us have reached our peak .
That is scary in its own right .
Some of us feel the last 29 years have been wasted chasing dreams and goals not meant for us .
That is scarier still .
In truth , we are all scared , if not for ourselves , then for the world .
If not for the world , then for our financial profile .
I guess to some they feel like the same things .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to celebrate with you , but I am scared .
My friends are all zombies .
I realized this when I started reading books and deleted social media apps from my phone .
For the first time in years , I looked up .
Everyone around me was caught in lupine loops , scrolling for the last decade of their life .
My neck juts forward still and I get headaches from the years of looking down .
I keep telling my little brother he will grow horns if he stares at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only seven years old .
What will the human race become by the time he turns 30 ?
I am turning 30 this year .
It feels better when I pretend there are other people in the same boat as me .
In truth , many of the birthday parties I am invited to I will not attend .
I will use the excuse that we are in a global pandemic .
In truth , I simply lost interest in drinking too much liquor and reminiscing on the past .
Sometime in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present moment .
I remember when I was still drinking liquor in bars before I was old enough .
A drunk girl in a bar bathroom told me that 27 was the best year of her life .
She told me that by the time you turn 27 , you have yourself figured out .
You no longer chase things not meant for you and you know how to ask for what you need .
I waited so long to turn 27 .
We learn so much from each other .
Even in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be learning .
I have learned the most from moments I was supposed to call failure .
Some of my favorite memories taste like rock bottom brutality .
Or maybe that was a margarita on the rocks .
Salt on the rim , please .
I am turning 30 this year .
They tell me I should celebrate my accomplishments .
I have a Master ’ s degree and no debt .
Job security for a lifetime .
Sometimes I get existential dread about my retirement savings ( or lack thereof ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ will not exist by the time I am old enough to retire .
I can never tell if I believe the joke or not .
God , I can be so depressing .
Maybe this is why I am not satisfied with my acquisitions , job security , and financial profile and can not find the motivation to save for retirement .
A doctor would probably prescribe me medication for that .
I am turning 30 this year .
I remember when I was young and read the cereal box for Breakfast .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ road and guzzle coffee on my morning commute .
NPR depresses me , but I listen to it because I want to appear mature .
Even when I am alone in my car .
I think this is what 30-year-olds are supposed to do .
When people ask me my age , I tell them “ 30 ” and it confuses my mother , who knows I am still 29 .
What is the difference ?
I remember when I was younger and found out my mother got pregnant .
She was much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet her body disagreed .
She told me , “ Olivia , the truth is you never really age .
Your body does , but inside you will always feel young.
” I used to think my mother was ridiculous .
Sometimes I wished for a mother who played pretend better .
Now I thank God I had a mother who always told the truth .
I can live in this 30-year-old body and feel certain it is just my body playing tricks on the world .
Those old enough to know the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We are turning 30 this year .
The truth is , we are all still 20-somethings attempting to figure it out .
We will spread retinol on our eyelids and check for gray hairs , terrified that if we start looking our age , we might have to start acting our age too .
The truth is , nobody wants to grow up .
Because the culture of growing up is fed by consumerism .
What about those of us who are not satisfied by a new car , new house , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been shown an alternate narrative .
We are turning thirty this year .
We are old enough to make decisions on our own .
The problem is we are too brainwashed by the media to know how .
I want to remind you of something .
We grew up in a world where we wrote letters to friends and got responses in the mail a week later .
We made phone calls on a phone attached to the wall after 7 p.m. , when calls were free .
We played in yards and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We read books in paper form and wrote essays in notebook and pencil .
We did not grow up sharing our feelings on social media .
We only learned to live this way .
I am turning 30 this year .
My mother shared a Lip Smucker-Lisa Frank secret with me a long time ago that I need to share with you .
Age is just a construct .
There is a universe that exists outside of your phone .
There is more to life than resumes , retirement , and your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your life , there is nothing that says you can not change .
In fact , all evidence points to the contrary .
We are turning 30 this year .
The world is on fire .
There is a global pandemic .
Things are not going the way we predicted .
Instead of allowing these facts to lull you into depression , decide to make a change .
Decide this is the year you will change careers .
This is the year you will follow the dream you have ignored because the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chase the sunsets and not salaries .
Save memories instead of money .
If you are still attempting to win the game , you have lost too much already .
Take your life back .
You are 30 years old , after all .
Nobody will notice you anyways .

Sometime in my 20s I learned to live in the present moment.
I remember when I was still drinking liquor in bars before I was old enough. A drunk girl in a bar bathroom told me that 27 was the best year of her life. She told me that by the time you turn 27, you have yourself figured out. You no longer chase things not meant for you and you know how to ask for what you need. I waited so long to turn 27.
We learn so much from each other. Even in the moments we are not supposed to be learning. I have learned the most from moments I was supposed to call failure. Some of my favorite memories taste like rock bottom brutality. Or maybe that was a margarita on the rocks. Salt on the rim, please.
I am turning 30 this year. They tell me I should celebrate my accomplishments. I have a Master’s degree and no debt. Job security for a lifetime. Sometimes I get existential dread about my retirement savings (or lack thereof). Other times I joke that the world will not exist by the time I am old enough to retire. I can never tell if I believe the joke or not. God, I can be so depressing. Maybe this is why I am not satisfied with my acquisitions, job security, and financial profile and cannot find the motivation to save for retirement. A doctor would probably prescribe me medication for that.
I am turning 30 this year. I remember when I was young and read the cereal box for Breakfast. Now I take my breakfast on the road and guzzle coffee on my morning commute. NPR depresses me, but I listen to it because I want to appear mature. Even when I am alone in my car. I think this is what 30-year-olds are supposed to do. When people ask me my age, I tell them “30” and it confuses my mother, who knows I am still 29. What is the difference?
I remember when I was younger and found out my mother got pregnant. She was much too old to be pregnant, and yet her body disagreed. She told me, “Olivia, the truth is you never really age. Your body does, but inside you will always feel young.”
I used to think my mother was ridiculous. Sometimes I wished for a mother who played pretend better. Now I thank God I had a mother who always told the truth. I can live in this 30-year-old body and feel certain it is just my body playing tricks on the world. Those old enough to know the secret sometimes begin to trick themselves too.
We are turning 30 this year. The truth is, we are all still 20-somethings attempting to figure it out. We will spread retinol on our eyelids and check for gray hairs, terrified that if we start looking our age, we might have to start acting our age too. The truth is, nobody wants to grow up. Because the culture of growing up is fed by consumerism. What about those of us who are not satisfied by a new car, new house, and new promotion? We have never been shown an alternate narrative.
We are turning thirty this year. We are old enough to make decisions on our own. The problem is we are too brainwashed by the media to know how.
I want to remind you of something. We grew up in a world where we wrote letters to friends and got responses in the mail a week later. We made phone calls on a phone attached to the wall after 7 p.m., when calls were free. We played in yards and watched clouds take shape above our heads. We read books in paper form and wrote essays in notebook and pencil. We did not grow up sharing our feelings on social media. We only learned to live this way.
I am turning 30 this year. My mother shared a Lip Smucker-Lisa Frank secret with me a long time ago that I need to share with you. Age is just a construct. There is a universe that exists outside of your phone. There is more to life than resumes, retirement, and your routine. If you are dissatisfied with your life, there is nothing that says you cannot change. In fact, all evidence points to the contrary.
We are turning 30 this year. The world is on fire. There is a global pandemic. Things are not going the way we predicted. Instead of allowing these facts to lull you into depression, decide to make a change. Decide this is the year you will change careers. This is the year you will follow the dream you have ignored because the world told you it was too risky. Chase the sunsets and not salaries. Save memories instead of money. If you are still attempting to win the game, you have lost too much already. Take your life back. You are 30 years old, after all. Nobody will notice you anyways.

1. People who you’ve outgrown. You don’t have to keep someone in your world because of your long, elaborate history together. You don’t have to stay friends, simply because you got along once upon a time. People grow and change. It’s okay if you don’t have room for certain people in your life anymore. You’re allowed to reshape your life in whatever way you want. You’re allowed to rework your social circle. You’re not the same exact person you were ten years ago, so it makes sense if you don’t have the same friends as back then.
2. People who make you feel uncomfortable. You shouldn’t waste your time with anyone who disrespects you or makes you feel like you don’t belong. If there’s someone you’re having trouble clicking with, then you’re allowed to walk away. You’re allowed to leave them behind. You shouldn’t force yourself into situations where you feel uncomfortable, simply because you want to make other people happy. Your own happiness should come first. You should prioritize yourself, because your mental health matters.
3. People who have hurt the ones you love. You might not want to get involved. You might feel like what someone did to your loved one has nothing to do with you. However, you have a right to be angry with this person. You have a right to decide you don’t want anyone in your world who is so cruel. Even though someone might have treated you perfectly well so far, it doesn’t mean they’re a good person. It doesn’t mean you owe them anything. It doesn’t mean you should keep them around.
4. People who have changed. Maybe someone hurt you in the past — but they’re different now. They’ve changed. They’ve grown. They’ve put in the effort to turn their life around. However, that doesn’t mean you need to let them back in your life. They already screwed up. They don’t get a second chance, simply because they’re a better person now. You can be happy for them, and you can forgive them, without wanting anything to do with them.
5. People who have wildly different views than you. You shouldn’t cut out a friend or family member for having a different opinion on your favorite television show, vacation spot, or musical artist. But if they have completely different morals than you, and refuse to fight for the same things as you, the things you consider important to your core being, then there’s nothing wrong with removing them from your life in order to maintain your sanity. You should surround yourself with positive people who care about you, who love you, and who want what’s best for you. If they aren’t supportive, then screw them.
6. People who you have no interest in keeping in touch with. You don’t have to have a huge falling out with someone in order to remove them from your life. If you simply aren’t interested in talking to them, in hanging out with them, in putting effort into them, then you can leave. It doesn’t mean you hate them. It simply means they aren’t your priority.

Chris Watts and his coworker, Nichol Kessinger, began having an affair in June 2018. Two months later, Watts murdered his entire family.
At the beginning of this case, I was firmly on the side of Nichol Kessinger. I believed she was just a coworker that ended up having an affair and whether or not she knew Chris Watts was married, I didn’t believe she had anything to do with the murders. HOWEVER, the more I read about Nichol and the case, the more it really seems like she was planning an insurance fraud scheme that morphed into an affair and then a plan to eliminate Chris’ family so the two of them could be free to be together and collect insurance money together.
Here are some things about Nichol and the affair that just don’t make sense:
[*] After failing the polygraph, Chris gives up remarkably easy and confesses to the crimes. Why? Perhaps because the police immediately halted their investigation afterwards. If Chris were a sociopath capable of killing his pregnant wife and young children, would he really confess so easily?
[*] Kessinger claims when she met Watts at work, she was “unaware” he was married because he didn’t wear a wedding ring around her (many men with similar jobs won’t wear rings to work because they can be a safety hazard). He eventually mentioned his wife and children, but Kessinger claims he said he and Shanann were separated. She says she discovered Watts was still married when watching a news report about his missing wife and children. She also says she discovered that Shanann was pregnant through the news report.
[*] Computer records show that Nichol frequented Shanann’s Facebook page, where Shanann announced her pregnancy and made frequent updates about her family. No one looking at Shanann’s Facebook page would be under the impression she was “nearing the end” of a “mutual” divorce as Nichol claimed to believe.
[*] Chris and Nichol met at Anadarko Petroleum, the same place Chris returned to to hide the bodies of his wife and children. As a safety officer, Nichol knew tons of information about the site Chris worked at, including that it was a perfect site to possibly commit insurance fraud… which would require the kind of explosion that would destroy bodies and evidence.
[*] The first time Kessinger says she felt anything was off about Watts was the night of Shanann’s murder. Before Shanann got home from her business trip, Chris and Nichol Facetimed. Chris was lying on his bare mattress. Since it was late at night, Nichol said she thought this was strange. When the bodies of his victims were recovered, they were wrapped in sheets. The phone call was 111 minutes long. Nichol has not been able to tell police what they talked about during this call, though she was interviewed less than 72 hours later.
[*] Kessinger claims that after Watts appeared to be too casual about his family missing, she contacted the police and told them about the affair. However, this was after the police were already informed about the affair by a supervisor at Anadarko Petroleum.
[*] Nichol has no alibi for the time of the murders.
[*] Even though their relationship was only two months long, police discovered wedding dress shopping along with phrases like “marrying your mistress” and “man I’m having affair with says he will leave his wife” in her Google search history. Police also found that she had been searching Google for “Chris Watts” as early as August 3, 2017 (almost a full year before she claims they spoke for the first time, and months before she “met” him at work).
[*] The morning of the murders, a neighbor saw a truck similar to the one Nichol owned outside the Watts home.
[*] At that time, Nichol’s phone pinged a tower in Frederick, CO where the Watts family home was. Kessinger lived in a town 25 minutes away.

[*] Phone records show that Nichol and Chris were in close contact the night before, morning of, and day following the murders.
[*] Chris told law enforcement he tried first to subdue Shanann with Oxycontin. The police were not able to establish how he could have gotten Oxycontin as it had not been prescribed to him. He said where the Oxycontin came from “is a secret he will take to his grave.” This TikToker has a good theory about where it came from:
[*] This text from Nichol to Chris that says “I want to be a part of it. Being in your life is something I crave.”
[*] Nichol also Googled how much Amber Frey’s net worth was. Amber Frey was the mistress of Scott Peterson, who was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson.
[*] There may be security footage of Nichol at the Watt’s home the morning of the murders:
[*] In her interviews, Kessinger avoids saying the names of Shanann, Bella, Celeste, or Nico. This is a common tactic used to distance yourself from someone you have wronged.
