To The One That Let Me Get Away

Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Thank you for many things. In a way, it was quite bittersweet in the beginning. I understand that things happen for a reason. I am still waiting to see the reason why we didn't last, but I'm sure in time that it will make sense. I know that I will miss the memories that we made and could have made. I know that I will miss the little things like playing music in your car and making fast food runs.

Thank you for showing me how I should be treated and also how I shouldn't be. As much I wanted us to last, I am able to see some flaws with our relationship. You wouldn't read my articles unless I was there to make you. You would go to other people when something upset you, instead of coming to me first. I had wanted to be there for you, to support you, but you wouldn't let me. You began to make fun of what I was passionate about and passively put it down. In the end, you became to busy to talk to me and made me feel like I was bothering you every time I would try to get into contact with you.

With that, I am beginning to realize my freedom and this opportunity you have blessed me with. Although I am not against being in a relationship, I want it with someone that will appreciate me as much as I appreciate them. I am able to take this time and reflect on what I truly want. The person I end up with I hope will be my best friend who will stick by my side through anything. They will see that a relationship is not always easy and will see that it is worth fighting for.

In Adele's words," I was running, you were walking. Couldn't keep up. You were falling down." I want to do a lot of things in life. When I want to do something, I will go at it with everything I have. I have a strong personality because I have been through a lot in my life. I know how to be independent so I'm not worried about being alone. I want someone that will be true to me, which you lacked. Thanks for showing me a very important life lesson that I didn't realize that I needed.

Thanks for setting me free. I have a lot of big plans that I still want to accomplish with my life. I wish you the best with whatever you do. I am happier than ever. I realize that I am happy with the true and honest people that I am surrounding myself with and following my passions. Because, boy, does this girl have plans with her life.

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.

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!
