She May Have Gotten The Boy, But I Got The Man
Heidi Mae Brown

Honestly, I got the man, she's got the boy.

I got the man first, I got the man who wants to commit. Thank you for leading him my way even though I had him first in my childhood. Thank you for pushing him more toward me.

I got the man. You got the boy.

You got to experience the boy side of him, I'm now getting the experience you wish you could have, so thank you.

Thank you for not ruining it for me. Thank you for letting me have him now.

You have the past, I have your future. I choose him for my future.

You got the class ring. I got the diamond.

I got the man, you got the boy.

You got the first kiss. I'll get the last.

I won't take it for granted like you have.

Did you get mad when he chose me, did you fight about it?

Did you let him go when he chose me?

Did you let go of the past so I could have his future?

Thank you for letting go.

Thank you for letting me have him for the future stake.

Thank you for letting me hold his hand when things got rough.

Thank you for letting me have his heart when his past fucked up with him.

Thank you for getting him so I could have his heart and be apart of his future.

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.
