A Letter To Future Me.
Odyssey

Dear me,

I hope when you read this, you are happy and have your life kind of figured out. If you are reading this, that means that life is going good for you (hopefully). I am writing this to make sure that everything turned out okay for you, and a chance for you to look back on the past you.

When you are having a bad day, remember all the funny times you had during your college years. Remember sharing a room with two other people for your first two years of college. Remember how you guys would stay up until the crack of dawn just talking about your life leading up to college. Or how different each other's family background is, or how scared all of us was to start freshman year at college. Remember how much Ramen you guys ate when you were too lazy to walk to get food.

When you are sitting at your big girl job, remember the road that you took to get there. Remember when you changed your major two weeks before going back to school Junior year. Remember that success doesn't have a straight path. Life takes you crazy places, but in the end it will pay off. Remember you need to have some falls to get to the highs.

When and if you get married, remember who taught you how to love. Remember those times you watched your parents show love to each other. Remember who told you that you don't spell love, you feel it. Actually Winnie The Pooh said that, but remember who encouraged that.

When you are becoming a mom to be, remember who raised you. Remember how your mother raised you to be the best you can be. Remember all the memories your mom made with you, and try to remake the same ones with your future child. Remember to support your child through anything just like how you got support while you were growing up.

I hope you are enjoying the adult world,

Sincerely,

Past you.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
