"It's Not You, It's Me"
Victoria Leigh Keiser

Let me begin by saying that I am not a vulnerable person, but you seem to get the best of me when it comes to my emotions. You just seem to understand what I'm feeling and have the perfect cure for when I'm blue. I know it has been awhile since we last saw each other, but I need to tell you how much I miss you.

Being so many miles away from you is tough because I long for everything about you. I miss the way you look, the way you smell. I miss how comfortable you made me feel under any circumstances. When I was surrounded by you, I felt home. You created a peace within me that I never knew was possible. Opening my eyes to so many possibilities, you gave me hope.

Your perfection was hard to say "goodbye" to. Granted we spent every day together for ten incredible months, I was bound to find one of your flaws. Even still, I never got tired of our time together. As each minute ticked by, the smile on my face grew a little wider and my heart filled with a little more love for you. I couldn't imagine my life without you.

Each day I spent dazzled by you, I learned something new. I saw that adventure was waiting for me out there in this big, beautiful world. I looked past the frontier, over the mountains, and experienced the pleasure of seeing different lives outside of my own. I danced with princesses and learned to dream with fantasy filled thoughts. I hoped for tomorrow, seeing how astonishing the future could be. But most importantly, I always had a middle ground to collect myself and analyze all the knowledge you brought to me.

With you, I was never bored, nor did I ever feel unwanted. You loved me through it all, even when I would just stand at the beginning of Main Street USA and stare at how handsome and beautiful you are. It was always hard to get alone time with you, but we managed through. While I was frantically coming to see you at 3 p.m., pushing my way through the crowd, it never bothered me at all. Why? Because I knew you were holding a special place for me. The magic you created, even with thousands upon thousands of people near you, was enough for this girl.

On my last night with you I began crying my eyes out watching 'Wishes' for the millionth time, I whispered something that I wasn't sure if you heard above the awe of the crowd. I told you that this wasn't our goodbye, but a "see you real soon." I hold that promise near to my heart because I know how much truth it holds. Leaving you was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I don't regret it. You will always have a special place in my heart, even when the years go by and we are not connected physically with each other.

Please don't ever lose your magic, and please don't ever forget me. I know you have had so many others before me, but our time together is a treasure I will take with me wherever I go in this life. I miss you, Magic Kingdom... And I love you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
