Open Letter To The Love of My Life
Kaylee Alvarez

I promised you I'd put it down in words someday. I guess today is that day. This is your letter. You know who you are. You are the perfectly lit bath of light that is cast down on Earth from the moon at 4 A.M. You are every color of the sun rise and every star in the night sky, shimmering beautifully but only truly seen in the darkest, quietest of moments. You are hope when there is nothing more, the glue when my heart was tore. I promised you I'd put my love for you down in words someday. It may be too late, but today is that day.

Pain didn't feel like pain anymore, no it did not. Pain was only temporary with you. I knew that anything I had to fight or feel, I would never feel it or fight it alone again. Your sharp, but subtle hazel, eyes never fail to suck me in like the dangerous black hole they had created in my life. I could fight all day with you. However, the minute I locked eye contact from across the room with you, my head was silent and a gradual smile would appear on both of our faces. Everything but the raging of my heart beat was silent. You had a way with me like nobody else ever did. Like nobody else probably ever will, my love.

My love for you starts and ends in the most savored of moments with you. You always fit perfectly into my arms. I was a puzzle missing one single piece. You were my piece. Love never felt more like love until I could hold you again. You were my home. You were my solitude. There was never a single reason to feel worried when I was with you because I knew at the end of the day, I had you. Always.

My love continues and never runs dry for you. I would move mountains to be by your side, but this you already know. I couldn't be scared of my depression or constantly anxious with you because you grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. You always grabbed my face when I would look down, pull it up to yours, and gently kiss my forehead. This means everything to me. When I was too scared to seek help, you always found me in the dark with your radiating light. You, nobody else, hold the spot in my heart. Why can't you understand?

You are the perfect drop of water on the single blade of grass in the early morning. You are the kiss of the summer breeze on our late night walks. You are the very first bite of chocolate cake. You are newly washed bed sheets, the smell of a newly bought candle, a breath of fresh air. You are, and always have been, everything perfect in a not-so-perfect world. You are my person.

Nothing sounds as fun without you. The left side of the bed is cold when you aren't here. My life is empty when you're not in it. Come home, for home is wherever I'm with you (get it?).

Now, I don't just say things to have words come out of my mouth. I don't just talk to hear myself. Everything I say is true, even when I say I know I want to spend my life with you.

I promised you I'd put it in words someday. Well, you've known this next part all along: I love you, I love you more, I love you always, I love you forever, I love you to infinity, I love you to eternity..

I just love you, okay?

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
