An Open Letter To My First Boyfriend

Well, it's about time.

Just kidding. Good things take time.

Thank you for coming into my life and making me feel wanted. It means a lot. I want to let you know a few things so you know what you're in for. I don't want to scare you away so please stop reading this right now if you're starting to regret your decisions. I'm awesome, I promise.

I am fluent in sarcasm and don't know when to stop. I insult you because I love you and I think I'm funny, not because you're bothering me. But, I will be completely honest if you do bother me, just be prepared.

I like my alone time but that doesn't mean I don't want to be alone with you. I am perfectly content with us reading books on separate sides of the room. Or even going to the mall together but splitting up as soon as we get there to go to our respective favorite places. I like to be alone, but good company isn't something I'll pass up.

Another thing is my fascination with being outside. There is nothing I love more than life than flowers and stars. Nothing. If I'm ever mad, those two things are the way to my heart. It's almost an instant fix.

I have an obsession with rom-coms. I've had the idea of what a perfect relationship looks like in my head for as long as I can remember. But, the image has been constructed by movies. I recognize that life isn't a fairytale and not everything works out the way I want it, but sometimes I might need a friendly reminder.

This is common among women but, I'm always right. I have a hard time admitting when I'm wrong, and I will go to lengths to prove when you are. Let me down gently. I'm a little stubborn.

The thing about me is that when I get invested in something, I'm all in. I don't half-ass anything and I don't pretend. I hope it's the same for you. I don't like being lied to or used. I have a tough time getting over things, especially when they break my heart.

All in all, I know you'll be a good boyfriend because I wouldn't like you if you were an asshole. Just saying. Good luck with me. I think I'm pretty fun to hang out with. Also, yes we might take some of those cute couple pictures just to prove to my friends that boys do like me. And yes, I can have a boyfriend.

I promise to be a good girlfriend. I know you'll be worth the wait. ;)

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
