A Thank You Note To The One Who Stuck Around

I can’t apologize for the person I was when you first walked into my life and the person I still can be at times, but I can say that I am grateful to you for sticking around long enough to give me a chance to figure out who it is I really want to be.

Your soulmate is not someone who comes into your life peacefully. It is who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality, somebody that marks a before and after in your life. It is not the human being everyone has idealized, but an ordinary person, who manages to revolutionize your world in a second.

-Unknown

There is no perfect combination of words that exist in this language that even comes close to me being able to say how grateful I am that you came into my life.

I will not apologize for being guarded and even cold at times.

I will not apologize for who you met when you walked into my life.

I will not apologize for making you actually work for my trust.

I will not apologize for the missed calls or texts and the no explanations.

I will not apologize for the need for reassurance.

I will not apologize for my silence or my much-needed solitude.

I will not apologize for my outbursts or my lack of communication.

I will not apologize for how you found me

I will, however, say thank you.

Thank you for letting me lean on you when I needed it.

Thank for showing me patience during my worst times and my best.

Thank you for understanding and trying to understand when you can’t.

Thank you for reminding me how nice silence with the right person is.

Thank you for being willing to make new memories with me.

Thank you for showing me fun outside of my comfort zone.

Thank you for listening to me always.

Thank you for your honesty and your trust.

Thank you for holding me when I need to be held.

Thank you for always trying to make me smile.

Thank you for always being ready with the coffee.

Thank you for taking the wheel all the times I can't or refuse to.

Thank you for all the surprises along the way.

Thank you for reminding me everything will be OK, even when I don't believe you.

Thank you for holding my hand through it all.

I can’t apologize for the person I was when you first walked into my life and the person I still can be at times, but I can say that I am grateful to you for sticking around long enough to give me a chance to figure out who it is I really want to be.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
