What It's Like Dating The Strong Woman

"She's got the soul of a poet and the fire of a bullet."

This won’t be your ‘typical’ relationship. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it. She is comfortable being alone; in fact, she prefers it. She craves her space and her freedom. People are drawn to her, to her personality. She is quick to make friends but also quick to cut people out. She doesn’t let people in easily, but you see, it’s because she had to be that way.

It will take time, but she will let you in. She’s been through things most people haven’t, and those experiences have shaped her to be the woman she is today. She wasn’t handed things on a silver platter, and she doesn’t expect that to happen now. She won’t expect you to do things for her; she won’t wait for you to open her door. This may frustrate you, but she was built this way. Something happened to her that taught her to never need someone because at the end of the day the only person that’s guaranteed to be there is herself.

She won’t share her emotions to you right away. She doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve. Her emotions are and always have been hers, and she’s used to that. She doesn’t like for others to see her when she’s vulnerable or when she’s hurting. She doesn’t want people’s sympathy.

She’ll be stubborn. She’s used to doing what she wants to do when she wants to do it without needing anyone else’s permission. She knows who she is and what she wants and nothing will stop her from achieving her goals, not even you. She’s determined and won’t let anyone get in the way of that.

She may be too strong for you at first, but don’t worry, that’s just her outer shell. The walls she has built up to make sure she doesn’t get hurt. She doesn’t let people in because she’s afraid of what will happen when they leave. She’s independent. It took a lot of work and a lot of tears for her to get to where she is now.

She’ll want things her way. She may push you away, but that’s her way of protecting herself. Until you prove you are worth her time she’ll test you. She’ll push your buttons and test your limits. Be patient with her. She does this because she is scared. Scared to love and scared to let someone new into her world. Once she lets you in, don’t ever let her go. She’ll change your life, I promise you that.

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?

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.
