A Thank You Letter To Those Who Keep Me Sane

I would probably be in a loony bin if you weren't around.

To whom this may concern,

You know who you are. You are the person that helps me deal with my emotional dilemmas in my past and now dealing with them in the present. You are the one that watched me go full throttle, overloaded psychopath when something was getting in my way. Whether it was a person, a thing, or just watching me overthink to the maximum power, which admittedly I tend to do a lot. Even dealing with me being like that when I’m super over-tired and hyper definitely says something.

The laughs we share to keep me going, the tears that have fallen when both of us were breaking down about the same thing or a completely different one.

Same Harry Potter Puppet Pal, Same! In most moments you see me wanting to do that. You stop me whether it’s making me laugh, distracting me with something else or just tell me to suck it up since it’s not worth my time. Over and over again it’s that never-ending cycle of telling me nicely to do this:

Every little bit of that was needed. Without you doing that I could be stuck in an insane asylum somewhere not in this town, or even in this state. You wouldn’t be able to see crazier episodes of me being over-reactive, weird and completely insane. Admit, there are a number of reasons you tolerate it, but there’s only two I can think of. It’s either too entertaining (in other words I’m better than cable) or you know I would do the same thing for you to help me stay sane.

So in short, thank you for all the times you helped me if it was just one encounter. If it was a decent amount, thank you for dealing with it that many times (I am surprised). Most importantly, to the people that deal with it most (my friends, my family, etc.), I’m just flat out thanking you. You are all the real MVP’s in my life and I truly appreciate you more than words can express.

Sincerely,

The Person You Keep Sane

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.
