To The Guy Who Left Me For Another Girl

I doubt you ever even gave me a second thought.

I just don't think you understand. You don't understand what happens to a person when you leave them for someone else. So I guess I have to explain. It makes the person you leave feel worthless.

When you left me for another girl, I felt like I wasn't good enough. It was as if you were telling me: "you're not enough, but she is". I felt like I was trash, just thrown away and replaced by something else. But you don't care.

I doubt you ever even gave me a second thought. You told me you were leaving, kicked me out of your life, went to the other girl and never thought about me again. You made me feel like I was nothing, you rocked my confidence. You got to go on with your life, with another girl, mind you, and you never cared about how deeply you hurt me.

Do you know what it feels like to be told you aren't good enough? Do you know what that does to someone? Can you even comprehend it? Probably not, because you threw me away like garbage after making me question whether or not my entire being was good enough.

Currently, I am rebuilding some of my confidence that you haphazardly tore down. I am in the process of healing, and every day I am getting stronger. Every day I am realizing that I am beautiful, I am a good person, I am enough. I am enough for myself, my friends, my family, and plenty of guys out there. I am a strong person, and like everything else, I will get through this, because I am resilient. I will be a kind, brave person, a person you don't, and never will deserve.

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.
