My Happy Ending Made Me Forget My Happy Middle

Dear Friend,

I know it's been a while since you have hear from me and I wish that I had some sort of legitimate excuse like I was exploring the world or finishing grad school, but I don't. I know that we have lost touch, but I want you to know that I still think about you often.

Our lives have taken us down different paths.. Some across the state, some across the country, others across the world. Me? Well, I'm still in the same place, which almost makes this worse.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not trying harder to keep in touch. Sorry for moving on with my life and not taking you with me. Sorry for choosing my new life over our friendship. I'm sorry for not being a better friend. I'm sorry for finding my happy ending and forgetting that you were the reason for my happy middle.

I hope you know that you helped shape me into the person that I am today. You taught me how to have fun, to find balance, the let go and to be myself. I hope you know that I life is treating you well. I hope you still love with your whole heart and stand up for your beliefs like I never had the guts to do.

I hope you smile when you hear one of our songs just like I still do. I hope that you remember our late night drives, early breakfast and study dates, and endless hours of laughter. I hope that you have achieved every goal that you had ever set for yourself. I hope that you have an amazing support system.

Above all, I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for moving on and forgetting about you and I hope you know how much I still love you.

Love always,

Your long lost friend

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?

2001
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.
