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.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
