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.

A Thank You Note To The One Who Stuck Around

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.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
