An Open Letter To My Worn Down Heart

I know your tired, and worn, and torn, but you will make it.

An Open Letter To My Worn Down Heart

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I thought I'd write a letter to my heart.

Dear heart,

You know what you want. I know what you want. But we both know we don't always get what we want. So please stop confusing your wants with your needs because it is only causing a mess for you in the end.

Sometimes I wish that you could love like all the other girls your age, why do you have to love so strongly? Why if you feel something does is take complete control over you. When you're sad, you can't just be sad. You are destroyed and upset, and sometimes I just don't know how to help you. I wish you could find a puppy love relationship like other girls, but you like real, and deep relationships and I mean I can't blame you. It's basically my fault. So let's just hold off until something great comes around.

You have been shattered and slowly been put back together time after time but the people are using school glue when they need to be using gorilla glue, and I feel like if you break one more time you just might not make it. So for me, could you please just let go of the things you create in your mind, and let go of the people who are no good, and search just a little bit harder for more of God because he is all you really need to become one again. I see you trying so hard to be happy, when genuinely happy was never an option for us. I am so glad that you have began to learn your worth, and you no longer settle for boys who you know are only going to hurt you in the end.

It's been great watching you grow bigger and bigger, and going from so cold to so cozy. You have been doing a lot of good things to help stay whole. It makes me sad because I know you try so hard to do your best at everything, and even then it's sometimes not enough. You haven't been at your best in a long time, but just the effort you put in is incredible.

I know your tired, and worn, and torn, but you will make it and life will be great one day. Don't ever give up, until the day I die. ;)

Sincerely, Your Person

XOXO Mic

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
