Get Off The Roller Coaster That Is Your Relationship

It’s time to end the cycle.

You knew what you were going to get yourself into when you met him. You were about to get onto one of the biggest rollercoasters life has ever given you.

Eventually, you would have to get off, even if you didn’t want to.

You knew you were going to fall for everything he said and listen to him as if everything coming out of his mouth was true. Maybe it was at one point, but after going through all the ups and downs, hundreds of times those meaningful sayings would just turn into words.

As soon as the ride seemed like it was about to end, he would lavish you with all the “I love yous” and would try to convince you that this time around it would be an easier ride and things would be different. Truth is, you fell into the trap.

Every. Single. Time.

You knew that this whole thing was going to be a never-stopping roller coaster, that it would take you through the same loops and turns every time you got on to the same crazy ride. You knew you hated the feeling that rushed through your body every time you went through the loops and falls, but that never stopped you from going back a hundred other times.

Again, just when you were about to get off, he always knew how to make you go just “one more time”.

You thought to yourself, “Maybe another time around would change everything." Truth is, no matter how hard you tried to skip all the HUGE drops, it was the same ride you’ve been on before.

At the end, you would still feel the same shitty way just like all the other hundred times the roller coaster ended. It’s not his fault that you fell for his tricks over and over again. Don’t make another mistake by falling for it “one last time”.

It’s time to end the cycle. Get off the freaking roller coaster.

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.
