I broke up with my boyfriend because he has a goal in life and in order to achieve it, I have to let him go when I still love him a lot. Should I tell him how I feel?

Some things are better said than not said, especially if we may come to regret it later. They say people are more likely to regret not doing something than doing something and failing. Put it out there, and even if it doesn't work at least you are satisfied, put the truth out there and aren't left wondering what might have happened.

Just don't move on things will fall into its place I m just going through the same situation n I knw just try to keep your self engaged with some other work and say happy you are not alone we are here to listen to you and make you feel better soon as possible to say that you are not alone we have been said that you can do it all over again and again and again!!!.. So just start with some new music video for you to say that you are not alone we are not alone we are not alone we are not alone we are not alone we are not alone

Who says that you have to sacrifice your love in order to let your lover achieve his goal. His goal is not a deal where he has to sacrifice his love to achieve his goal. You don't need to break up. There are many stories where people achieved their goal and also maintained their love. Goal and love both completely different. A goal is mostly a professional matter and love is a personal matter so you can't mix your love with your goal. People work and also fall in love, get married build a family. You better continue your love with him and also let him achieve his goal. You can be a great inspiration for him and also a source of motivation. Girlfriend isn't a roadblock in someone's goal.

Yes, I believe that college is worth it. It helps shape and educates you. I totally love all my professors. When I come across a professor that is a bit tough, I like to take it as a learning experience on how to study differently. I also like to take it as a learning experience in how to approach difficult subjects. College helps you manage your time while you work or enjoy other activities. Being actively fit by working out and being outdoors helps manage the stress that comes along with college. It will be all worth it in the end once graduation comes around.
