Thank You To My Better Half

Thank you for being you.

Thank You To My Better Half
Candace Jones

I met you two years ago. I looked at your big blue eyes and instantly knew I was going to be with you, I just didn't know when. I went through that year appreciating your friendship more than anything in the world. You were kind, generous, and patient. I can't even fathom the thought of how patient you were with me. Everyone else thought you should've given up on me, but you didn't. You stuck it out — told them, "No, she's the one."

I'm not the type of person to rush into things. I like taking my time, even if it's painful.

I knew we both needed to grow more as people — as independent individuals. Not that we're completely mature at the moment but better than we were a year and a half ago.

Now, you're still patient. You're still generous. You're still kind. You have hope in our future together. I'm glad to say that I do, too.

No matter how many times my stubborn head gets in the way, you seem to find a hole to get to my senses and fix everything. There are times when we bump heads. Eventually, we figure it out. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else.

I've never laughed so hard in my entire laugh as when I'm with you. I laugh so hard that air comes out of my mouth and I can't breathe for a few seconds — it's the best moment in the world. It's pure bliss with you. I've never cried so hard in my life, but only when I'm with you, because you've made me so vulnerable. I trust you so much with my life that I put you on my insurance.

I'm not the most perfect person in the world, but I believe we're gonna make a great team someday. This was just a little thank you for being a part of my life. I couldn't imagine doing this life with anyone else but you, Antigone.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
