To those who suffer from a heartbreak.

Heartbreaks are hard but you will heal.

Heartbreaks are not fun to go through. There are some that are a lot harder than others and there are some that will shatter you to pieces. No matter how many times you ask the same questions over and over again, no matter how many times you tell yourself that you will be okay, you still feel hurt, broken, and even alone. People say that time will heal all wounds and you get tired of hearing it all the time. Wells this one's for you.

As time goes on, you'll be okay. You might not understand it now, but time will go on. Pieces start coming back together, you start to feel again, people start to see you. During that time, it gives you time to think and maybe even grow. Cause that is what time does, it goes. Sometimes slowly, sometimes fast. Though there is always time. During that time, you will learn to be okay.

After a break up, give yourself room to grow. Plant your seed and let yourself sprout. You will be surprised how much you'll change in just a few short months. One minute your a little seed in the ground, just waiting to get out, next thing you know, your something so extremely beautiful and rare. That change is a good thing. Let it happen. You'll learn something you never knew about yourself. It will be a journey for you to be different and to be beautiful to the world.

Be true to yourself. Don't even bother lying. You know that you aren't okay. That you still want to lay in bed snuggled and watching Netflix. It happens. Admitting that your not okay, is okay. People take longer than others to fully heal. It can give you a new world of possibilities. Healing does take time, but knowing that you can take all the time in the world is a good thing.

Do not be afraid to go on a date. Yeah it is scary to go on another date with someone new. There are the thoughts running through your head. Wondering what you will talk about, if you will sound awful, what to wear, if the other person will actually like you, if they will take you to a decent place to eat. It is all new and scary, but take the risk. You never know, you might find the person you are going to marry!

Go out once in a while. It will be well worth it. Go out to the bar with some friends or even go to a restaurant that you've always wanted to go to. It is always fun to enjoy a night out on the town with the friends with some good laughs and memories that you will have for a while. Friends are the some of the best way to get your mind off a break up and they even help you heal. You never know, you might even met someone that will help piece you back together and help you become happy again.

If your really down and just want to stay in because running into your ex is a fear, have a night in binge watching on Netflix and order some pizza. There is nothing wrong with having a night alone or even with people that you want around you and just watch a TV show on Netflix all night. It can be useful at times and not just to avoid responsibilities.

Go get a hair cut or even go get the piercing that you've always wanted to get done. Small changes are good. It gives you a new look that you never thought you could pull off before. You might actually enjoy the new hair cut and fall in love with the piercing. It can happen. Even going to get a tattoo could help, cause tattoo therapy can be awarding.

Even exercising to get over a heartbreak is good. It is showing that you are willing to work you yourself and be a better you. Then once you get in better shape, you can always show off the body you didn't have before to you ex. Being able to better yourself in exercise and feeling better in your mind and heart can be awarding.

Heartbreaks are never easy. It takes longer for some to heal than others. It's crazy that people can hurt so much. Heartbreaks can get better. You will be happy again and hopefully someone will pick you up and take you away. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Each tunnel is different and each journey is different. Just don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. I hope your heartbreak will heal like mine will.

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?

1962
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.
