To My Best Friend Who Doesn't Know Her Worth

A short letter to tell you how amazing you are.

To My Best Friend Who Doesn't Know Her Worth

We're in a pretty weird stage in our lives, stuck somewhere between being kids and adults, somehow expected to be a little bit of both. We're being plowed with bills and responsibilities. Every turn we make seems to snowball. You get stressed, irritated, and sad, I know. There's a lot going on, and we don't get as much time together as we'd like.

But, you're amazing. SO much more amazing than you think you are.

First off, you are insanely beautiful. I hate that you don't like what you see in the mirror.

Next, I hate that you let other people walk over you. You are worth more than them, you are worth more than a million of them. They do not deserve to have you in their life. You are so radiant, and you have such a presence to you that few deserve to experience. I wish you would let go of those holding you back. The potential you have is so beyond what you see because you won't let go of people who don't want you to see it.

Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing you hurt. I really wish I could just open your eyes to see how much you're really worth. It's a lot more than you're selling yourself for. I want you to find your worth and start your life. What your life could truly be.

I love you more than words can describe, girl.

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?

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
