I never got to meet you. You were out of the picture way before I entered.

I understand you have a lot of hatred in your heart and I don't know who put that there. You treat people like objects rather than friends. I don't know who hurt you, but I am sorry you are hurting.

I just wanted to thank you for the many things you have done without ever meeting me.

Thank you for breaking his heart. Thank you for making him miserable for the few months you dated. Thank you for treating him the way you did. Because without you, he wouldn't have gone looking for me.

If he had been happy he would've stayed. He would've never given up on your relationship. You helped him grew into a better man. You helped him realize what he wanted in life. He was done playing games, and I am sorry it hurt you when he was done playing yours.

As a girl, I understand your perceptive. You loved him. Well, you thought you loved him. I understand it is hard to let someone go that you cared so much about. I have been there. But just like I let go of my past, I am glad you finally let him go.

I wish you the best. I hope someone comes along and finally treats you the way you want to be treated. I hope you find your perfect puzzle piece. I wish you happiness. I hope you let go of the anger and hatred in your heart. But in all honesty, I hope we never cross paths. We would have no words to exchange or benefit from being friends. It would just be weird.

I wanted to thank you for being you. Because you and I are very different. Because I have learned so much from someone I have never met. Because you sent me my best friend. Thank you for never meeting me. Thank you for letting him go.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
