To My Best Friend After Her Heartbreak

Fall back in love with yourself and learn to see yourself the way everyone else sees you.

Going through a breakup can be incredibly hard. You have to change your everyday routine; your texting, phone calls, and snapchatting habits become different.

You feel different day in and day out. You feel this pain in your gut that you just can't explain. The pain is so deep you feel it in your bones. As you think back to happier times, you find yourself losing your sense of who you are and everything you want out of life.

You can't face this alone.

Stop trying to run from your problems, and let me be there for you. Let me be the best friend that I am here to be, no matter what. You need to let me be there while you cry and drink some more, while you scream at the pain.

You are so brave.

You gave yourself to someone for a long time. Despite the situation, you have kept yourself together and I am so proud of you.

Take time to fall back in love with yourself.

There is no need to jump right back into another relationship. Learn to love yourself again for all that you are and can do for this world. Understand your worth.

You're worth loving.

Every time you go through a breakup, it is easy to wonder what went wrong. Was there something you could have said or done to make it different. No matter the mistakes you made, you're worth loving. Remember that.

You can learn from this.

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe it’s not all predetermined and planned, but I believe that everything makes us better. Never regret what you learned from this.

No matter what they will always hold a special place in your heart. One day you'll be able to feel OK again. You're going to heal and feel whole again. Until that day comes, grow and love yourself.

You can handle anything.

After a breakup, everyone feels it necessary to insert their opinion. Maybe they’re upset you broke up with your partner, or perhaps they’re glad and they feel like they need to trash talk your ex. Either way, you’re catching a lot of flak from all sides.

Don't let that get you down. In the end, all we have in this world is each other.

It sucks; I know. The friends you thought you had, the people you thought would be there in your wedding are now cutting you with their eyes and ignoring you. It is OK and you can handle it. I know at the end of the day you know what is best.

To my best friend: you've got this. You are smart, beautiful, caring, and funny. Don't forget everything you aspire for while you're trying to find yourself again. Fall back in love with yourself and learn to see yourself the way everyone else sees you. I hate that your heart ever had to be broken, but while it is cracked, let me be here for you.

I am here. Always.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
