To the one who broke me, thank you, you know who you are and you will probably never read this but if you do, thank you.

Many are gonna wonder why I am thanking you even though you broke me into a million little pieces that I wasn't sure I was ever gonna be able to put back together and even though you are what pushed me over the edge for my attempt.

Yet here I am thanking you. I could see how that would be confusing.

I want to thank you because it's been six months and I am finally over you, I feel like I am on top of the world and I am happier than I have ever been.

I want to thank you because without you breaking me I never would have hit rock bottom, started getting the help I need and be doing so well with my recovery.

I want to thank you because I learned how to love myself when no one else did.

I want to thank you because I finally learned to take a trust as the most valuable thing to me.

I want to thank you because I know that I need to be complete when I am alone before I can be perfectly complete with someone by my side.

I want to thank you because without you breaking me I never would have been able to find the one who put me back together.

I want to thank you for him because he is the best thing to ever happen to me and he supports me in all my adventures.

So, thank you for breaking me even though I felt like I was never gonna get over you I can finally say I have moved on.

Girls, thank him for breaking you because I promise you the right one will come along one day and they will make you realize why it never worked out before.

I promise you that it gets better and you will be thanking him one day too.

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?

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.
