An Open Letter To The Person Who Gets Me

Thank you for being you.

To the person that seems to always get me,

First off, congrats. Because it takes a lot to actually understand the complexity and unknown barriers of my thoughts.

You always seem to know what I need and when I need it. You seem to know when I need to talk, when I need to listen and when I need to relax. You always know when I need to go on a walk outside, grab a cup of coffee or listen to some music.

I don't think I've ever had someone care about me in the way that you do. You take into consideration all of the little things- the minute details of me and my entirety- and I think that is what I appreciate about you the most.

You remember all the little details that I tell you. You remember the important things I have coming up, the way I like to prepare certain food, the routine I like to have throughout the day and even the breaks where I actually have free time throughout my busy schedule.

I guess I'm writing this because you came into my life at a time where I needed someone like you most. When my mind is swirling with dark and terrible thoughts, you allow me to sort my mind so that I can fight them away. You find time for me, take the time to get to know me and I couldn't ask you to do any more than you already do.

Life has just been filled with people who have walked on me like a doormat. Taking a look at me, wiping their feet and constantly walking over me. You came into my life exactly at the moment when I needed you, and I cannot even express how thankful I am to have you and how excited I am to see where this bond takes us.

Being able to communicate without any words is probably one of the greatest things. Just being able to look at each other, say nothing, but somehow still get across a message or a simple joke is simply one of the things that I appreciate the most.

So in all, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being the person that you are, and thank you for coming into my life because I don't know what I would do without you.

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.
