3 Things I Wish My Dad Told Me

Just like any other boy, he once was a young man who didn’t think anything of it when he broke another girl's heart.

A little girl's first love is usually her dad. He is the man who protects her and loves her always, since the day she came into this world.

You could never imagine your own dad ever hurting another female. But just like any other boy, he was once a young man who didn’t think anything of it when he broke another girl's heart.

I wish my dad warned me about what went through his head when he was a teenage boy. It would have helped a lot.

1. What about the girl who meant nothing to you?

Dad, I could never picture you ever trying to hurt another female because I know you would never do that to Mom or I. But whether I want to believe it or not, I know at one time you were a young boy who didn’t know any better.

I know you had a girl in your life who didn’t mean anything to you, but you made her feel like the world. You probably had no intentions of hurting her, but I know you did.

So please tell me what she did wrong to deserve being treated like she was something, but ended up as nothing to you.

2. What was going through your head when she told you she loved you and you just weren’t ready to hear it?

Did you pause like every boy does when they hear those three words, or did it just go through one ear and out the other? Did you even say it back?

When you lied, did you feel the guilt as it rolled off your tongue? I can’t even hear what your voice would sound like when you lied, telling me you love me.

But then again, I know there was a time where you were a boy and didn’t know any better.

3. Why wasn’t she good enough?

I’ve never felt good enough for anyone, and anytime you saw tears in my eyes, you would always put me back into my place. In your eyes, everyone is perfect in their own way, so how come she was never perfect enough for you?

I bet she tried hard and woke up early in the morning to do her hair and makeup for you, but no matter how hard she tried, it never worked for you.

So please tell me how someone could never be good enough for a man who sees the good in everyone.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
