Finding The Motivation Within Grief

My life will go on, but I still want you there.

Days have gone by since seeing you, and there hasn't been a moment where you haven't crossed my mind. It's that moment where I want to reach out and scream my feelings, but those feelings could still push you away. It's not a nice way to feel, wondering what you're doing if you're thinking about me. I've been trying to cope with the possibility of losing you, but I can't bear the thought of losing you. Sure, we've had problems in the past. But that was then and this is now, I have never thought I would dwell on this so much, on one person. Anyone else, I would toss aside. But for you, I'm just waiting every waking moment for an answer. I hate conflict, I hate fighting with people I care about and beating the trust we built around the edges. I now know that I hate fighting with you. I saw the hurt in your eyes, the sadness, the concern. I never wanted to upset you or lose your trust. I've never wanted to make you feel like you can't rely on me, I want to be your outlet, not your burden. I want to be your cheerleader, I don't want to bring you down. If it's not too much to ask, I want to talk to you, and I want you to please consider forgiving my apology. Up until then, the thoughts of you will be running in circles around my head.

Who knows what will come of this, what you and I will turn out to be. We can patch it up and take the world by storm, or the foundation of the relationship between us will start to crumble and fall. Losing you would be like giving up, giving up on someone who has made me feel like I have a sense or purpose, and a duty to motivate and inspire you. We were born in a generation who enjoys giving up, But I am not okay with that. I want to fix things, make things better, make you a better person like you can make me one. I laugh more when I'm with you, I smile more when I'm listening to you. But most of all, I feel like everything is right when I'm with you. I try my hardest to reach out to you, and I get nothing in return. I care for people who don't care about me, but I know from what I saw in your eyes that you'll never not care. If this never get's resolved, I don't know what I'll do. In the stages of grief, I am at denial. I am denying that I'll lose you and that you don't care what happens because I want you to more than ever. Seeing you happy makes me happy, and you have no idea how bad I want to be the root of that happiness. You inspire me to fight for what I want, I've seen you do it. I want to prove myself worthy. This time, what I am fighting for is you.

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.
