A Letter To My Ex- Best Friends New Best Friend

Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever.???—Danielle Steel

Dear whoever loves my best friend next,

I hope you'll love this boy as much as I ever could. I hope you'll learn to love him even more than I could actually.

I hope you'll help him and push him into being the best version of himself that he can be. I hope you'll push him to strive, in school. He's such an intelligent person, but he doesn't use the power of it.

I hope you'll be the best friend, who will learn to know him better than he did himself. I hope you'll remember the small things about him like the ways he laughed, hugged you, or his favorite chic-fil-a order.

I need you to know that my best friend is an amazing person. He might be difficult, and sometimes rather hard to love, but he is amazing and worth every bit of his difficultness. At one point we used to do everything together, but one day our friendship started going downhill, and it kept going until it finally reached the bottom.

Eventually, things had to end as we grew more toxic for each other by the day, but I hope our love for each other never changes. We just have to learn to love and support each other from a distance.

I also need you to know that he's hard to open up to people with. He will try to push you away, but it's on you to make sure you push yourself harder. He will get angry you won't leave him alone, but eventually he thanks you for not giving up on him, because he gets hard to handle.

Know that he's been hurt in the past, and he's hard to love people but once he loves you you'll know it. Youll meet a whole different boy.

At the end of the day, I hope that you'll watch over him forever to make sure he's okay. I can't watch him anymore, so I'm trusting you too.

I hope that you can and will be the person he can trust with his heart again and that he'll be able to turn to you for everything and tell you all his secrets as he did with me. It hurts my heart in so many ways, but we all move forward eventually.

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.
