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.

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?

2026
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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
