I truly needed it

Thank You For Breaking My Heart

It has been over a year since you left me. I remember how happy I thought I was with you and how heartbroken I was when you broke up with me. I didn't think I would ever recover. I didn't know how I could ever love anyone as much as I loved you.

Here I am 12 months later. I have a job I love. A family that supports me. Money saved for a rainy day. A new girl who makes me wonder why I ever thought it would work with you, but I'm not here to bash you. I'm not even here to tell you I never loved you. I'm here to tell you, thank you.

Thank you for breaking my heart. Thank you for helping me to become the best person I can be. Thank you for telling me that you didn't love me anymore. Thank you for being the first girl I ever truly loved.

We had our ups and we had a lot of downs. I wasn't ready to be happy yet when I found you. I took the summer to focus on myself and that was the best thing I ever did. I traveled by myself and I finally took care of myself first. I was able to come to terms with my sexuality because of you. Thank you for helping me to come out.

I stopped my bad habits because you told me to. Without you I honestly don't think I could say if I would be in the same place I am now. I am truly a happy person now. You were patient with me when I hit rock bottom. You took me to therapy when I truly needed it. Thank you for helping me to come to terms with my past.

I fell head over heels in love with a girl 9 months after you left. I can't imagine anyone else by my side right now. She is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Thank you for leaving me so that I could have her.

So even though I know you'll never read this, thank you. Thank you for walking out of my life and never looking back. Thank you for breaking my heart into a million pieces and never cleaning up the mess. It was the best decision you could have made. Thank you for leaving me.

Yours truly,

The first girl you ever loved.

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?

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.
