A picture is worth a thousand words

Today, I was doing household chores. I got a little warm wearing a long sleeve so I went to my side of the closet. This is strange because I am always in my boyfriends clothes. Always. I was looking for a particular shirt that must've still been dirty. Just before I turned to his side, I saw this. One of his favorite shirts of mine. I teared up. Flash backs from our time together filled my mind.

I've heard the saying "pictures are worth a thousand words" so many times, but today it had meaning. As I had a replay of all our moments in my mind, I thought of how lucky I was. I got to do this with my favorite person. I got to think about how once I spent the night at his house, I never went back to mine. I got memories of basketball games, many vacations, dinners, tv episodes watched, and late night hardees runs. I thought about how far I've came in the past year. I was so unhappy and stuck. I was not myself.

Since this man has come into my life, I've been able to work on myself so much. He is the most supportive and loving person I could ask for. He is helpful, dedicated and strong. He is truly my rock and my go-to. He has never let me down and I hope he knows how much I love him.

This picture is worth a thousand words. It's worth so much more. It's worth building a home and a life for. It's reminding me that true love is out there. It's reminding me that no matter what, I'm never alone in this.

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.
