I See You For All That You Are, Not All That You Aren't

The past does not define you.

I See You For All That You Are, Not All That You Aren't
www.globe-views.com

There are some people who will have every bad thing to say about you, but I look past all that because I see something far greater and here is why...

1. You have a smile that is brighter than the sun.

I am starting with this because it is the first thing I fell in love with and still makes me happy. It is sweet and genuine and I have never seen one quite like it. A smile like yours can change the world some day...

2. Your heart is always in the right place.

You always think of others and try your best to help them out whenever you can. Even though things are not always done the right way, it all comes from a good place.

3. You have a great sense of humor.

Everything always has a little spin to it and it does not matter if you are talking about something sad, it always turns out to be positive in some way.

4. You do not hold judgment.

I saved the best for last because this is the most important to me. Just like I do not hold you for your flaws, you do the same for me in return. It is the most freeing feeling when someone truly accepts you for you.

While there are a million reasons to go, there are a few more to stay and I thank you for that.

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.
