Have you ever thought you found the one? That they were put on this earth for you to fall in love with them, or that you were gonna be together forever? Yeah, we have all been there. eventually though the unimaginable happens--the breakup. You cry and cry and cry, wonder exactly what you did wrong, why you weren't good enough for them, get angry and send nasty texts, or even go on Twitter to rant about it. We have all been there and done that most of us more than once. You go throughout the days ahead upset or angry, feel the sadness of not having them to text them all day, the feeling of emptiness with out them. The days, weeks, months, and years keep coming and they get easier in time. Finally, you start moving on and you feel better than you ever have and wonder why you were so upset about them.

Then out of nowhere, here comes this new person. You are apprehensive to get close to them because of the heartbreak you've just endured, believing they are just like the others comes as a second nature to you now. But once you let him/her in you find a love you never knew was real. They show you real passion, real love, and how you are supposed to be treated. It's like the real love you hear your grandparents talk about, the kind that makes you want to talk or be with them every second of the day. They give you butterflies and make your face light up as soon as their name pops up on your phone. Then, it's been a week, a month, a year and all of your thoughts about the dreaded ex are gone.

You do not even understand why you were so caught up on that other person because the person you are with now blows everyone else completely out of your mind. You are so consumed with him/her, and that's perfectly okay! There is nothing wrong with being in love and wanting to show it after being cheated on, lied to, dumped and then brought back because they were lonely and knew you still loved them and would come back. Do not come back to them, it will only give you more heartbreak that will hurt worse each and every time. The saying let it go and if it comes back it is meant to be is not true. It causes more heartbreak and more tears and longer to move on. Let it go and let it stay gone, move on and better yourself. Let them see what they let go and in the end you will be with the one god intended for you and they will be going through the same heartbreak they put you through. Its worth it, I promise. Heartbreak can be an amazing thing.

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.
