An Open Letter To The Guy That Broke My Heart

"You had an impact on my life. I hope I had an impact on yours."

Dear You,

It's been a while since we talked last. I wonder how you're doing sometimes; what you've been up to, what you've achieved, what you've done. I hope that everything is going well for you. I want the best for you because at one time, you were the best for me. We shared so many things together, and I had convinced myself that it was going to last forever. Things change and people grow, however, and we had decided that going our separate ways would be the best thing for each of us. Of course all of the fighting that lead up to that point definitely wasn't what you or I wanted at all.

I'm not writing this letter to get back at you or to tell any of the secrets you shared with me to the world because I thought you wronged me when we parted ways. I'm writing this letter because I finally have come to terms with the fact that we are no longer with each other and probably will never be again. If I were to try and write this letter to you even a month ago, I would find it hard to find any words at all to want to say to you. After all of this time, I'm finally ready to tell you what I should have told you while we were still together.

I love you, and I always have. But now, it's a different kind of love. I don't have any romantic feelings for you anymore, especially after all of this time, but you were such a big part of my life that if you walked up to me on the street tomorrow and asked me if I could help you out, I would drop everything to help in any way I could.

I miss you, but only a little bit. What I miss the most is the memories we made together. We had so much fun together. I will never forget the time we spent together. But, everything comes to an end eventually, and our time was up after three years of memories. I hope you revisit those memories every now and then and smile when you think of the good times we had together.

I want the best for you and I mean it. You never settled for anything less than great when we were together. You were (and probably still are) a perfectionist. I thought it was silly sometimes that you wanted everything to be as perfect as possible, but you worked so hard to make even the smallest details near flawless and it sure shows now. You're absolutely fantastic and I know that you are going places.

Thank you. Without you, I don't know what I would be doing. You pushed me in the direction that I should be going, and I couldn't thank you enough for that. When I was struggling with various issues through our relationship, you were right there for me to offer whatever support you could. Sometimes it wasn't the support I wanted, but it was always the support I needed.

I feel I have so much more to say to you, but summing it up to these most important points is only what is necessary. Know that I truly mean everything that I say in this letter to you. You made an impact on my life. I hope I made an impact on yours.

Wishing you the best,

Me

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?

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.
