Insecurities: A Poem

Tomorrow is a chance to change

Insecurities are the negative feelings we have towards ourselves

Sometimes those big smiles you have grows old

That beautiful body you once teased and drowned with your words grows cold

Those beautiful eyes you have become glassy from all the tears that fell from them

That perky face droops because you stop smiling

Nobody knows you more than you know yourself

Nobody knows the pain you deal with everyday

My heart is so broken for reasons you would not even think, it is broken because I beat myself up everyday with insecurities

That the battle in my mind of loving and hating myself is at the same speed

One is never ahead of the other

Society has shaped us into people we should be, into the people we have to be

Or else we get made fun of

The sad truth about our world, about our society, about us as people is we only have one life to live

Loving yourself is very hard

But never starting, never even trying is what can kill you the most

So make something out of your life

Appreciate the things you would not expect too

And maybe you will find the love for yourself you have been longing for

But it cannot start without you trying, without you trusting, and without you believing

That the life we live now is only temporary

Make it memorable

Tomorrow is a new day

Tomorrow is a chance to start over

Tomorrow is a chance to change

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.
