I’m Breaking Up With Writer’s Block

It's been a long time coming, but you gotta go...

Dear Writer’s Block,

Forgive my non-cliché intro but it’s definitely you, not me. You see, I have to call it quits. It’s time I hunt for greener pastures and frankly, I feel like you have been weighing me down and dragging me back.

I don’t think we are well suited for each other, due to our inherent differences. You’re slow when I try to be fast. You’re a blank wall when I try to paint a beautiful picture.

They say opposites attract but I feel like the case is opposite for us. I would like there to be an instant and permanent repulsion between us from now on.

We aren’t meant to be together so, I hope you will take the hint and back off. Let me have my green pastures and enjoy the free flow of creativity. I know you may be surprised by this but really, you shouldn’t.

Not many people will be able to handle what you bring to the table.

I hope you have fun in another person’s life and I sincerely wish you guys the best of luck. I really wish that you would leave me alone to carry on with this life without a whisper, shout, message or even email from you.

I would much rather erase all traces of your presence from my life and I hope that is just fine with you. We haven’t been on the same page for a long while now and you know it. I was always sad, and you were just how you always are.

I can’t deal with that kind of stress right now and I am determined to move on from what we had. Please don’t be one of those jealous exes that always hangs around and tries to spoil things. I believe you are better than that. I pray you are better than that.

With luck, we can both move on from the years we spent together and flourish in our new lives. I am not grateful for the time we wasted on each other but since we cannot change the past, we must mend the future. Today.

Goodbye forever, Writer’s Block. Go torment some other writer.

Yours truly,

Newly Creative Writer.

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.
