What It's Like To Be Loved When You Don't Love Yourself

For when I cannot love myself.

What It's Like To Be Loved When You Don't Love Yourself

Over the last few years I never really knew what love was or what loving myself was.

I hadn't been loved by anyone but my family so it was really hard, add on a few mental illnesses and you've gout yourself a hard time ahead.

But then I met Zachary.

Lord, let me tell you, that kid can love. He has shown me more love than I thought that I could ever have for myself.

I think the hardest part is when I feel I cannot love myself because something stops me for some reason or another but then Zach comes out of nowhere and gives me hope once again and helps me get through a day and helps me survive and thrive and live and breathe and I thank God every day for him.

I never thought I would find a love so real and genuine. One that doesn't care if you don't wear makeup or if you want to just stay in and wear sweats or if you're just plain feeling sorry for yourself and they STILL love you.

It's amazing.

It's truly amazing

I don't really know how else to put it other than I am the luckiest girl in the world to be loved by the one man iI want to love for the rest of my life. if you find this kind of love I promise it makes everything that you've been through worthwhile.

I love you, Zachary

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.
