A Thank-You To My Most Recent Ex

Thank you for showing me happiness

A Thank-You To My Most Recent Ex
Me

Thank you, to the ex boyfriend who not only taught me what it felt like to actually be loved, but for also letting me be apart of his life, for however short the time was.

I didn't know what a healthy relationship really felt like. I had never had bliss or happiness that just never stopped. No fights, no worries, just peace and compatibility.

I picked him up at Logan airport. Such a lovely first impression, as I parked my car in the wrong place and we had to go looking all over for where it got towed to. Thanks for bearing with me through that.

He's warned me he wasn't a typical southern boy, however that seemed very unlikely, as he is a gentleman through and through. Opening doors, checking on me. Making sure there was water next to me when I woke up after a night of drinking.

One night we made pizzas together. He made the dough from scratch, I was in shock. I'm a good cook myself, but I don't think I could manage to make that myself. We made our individual pizzas and settled in for a night of Netflix.

Very long story short, he's moving back to Texas to be with his family. I'm grateful, for the time we did share together. He taught me what it felt like to feel secure and happy. He taught me how to feel stable and loved.

There is a song, called "We Owned the Night", by Lady Antebellum. There is one line in that song that particularity stands out, that I haven't gotten out of my head since we hugged goodbye for the final time. "And I knew in that moment, that we'd never speak again. But it was perfect, I never will forget." This is how I feel about us ending. We were pretty perfect, and I won't ever forget about how wonderful our time was together, and how I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. I genuinely wish him nothing but the absolute best, and even though it's bittersweet knowing we won't see the other again because of the move, I can take solace in knowing that we both will succeed in everything we do. Thank you, for showing me what true happiness in a relationship feels like.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
