To The Boys I Thought I Had Loved Before

After watching the movie, I felt inspired to write my own "letter" to the boys I myself have loved before

To all the boys I've loved before,

Um… hi. You know who you are, and I think that a lot of other people do, too. That is, unless you are one of the celebrities I crushed (or am currently crushing) on, then you do not know who you are, and much less who I am.

I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for always giving me a reason to look forward to going to school, to a party, to anything, honestly. You made life a little bit more interesting, exciting, and nerve-wracking in the best way possible. You made me think "what if?" and "what will happen today?" and "why did I do that?" and "why do I like you?" and "do I love you?"

You also made my life a little a lot more complicated. I swear I couldn't go anywhere without thinking about you, seeing you, hearing about you… and let me tell you, boy, is that annoying when you are trying to do the total opposite. In a way, it was comforting knowing that I wasn't the only one who would think about you. But in another way, it sucked because I wasn't the only one thinking about you.

Let me tell you something: being a hopeless romantic and a writer is possibly the best, yet worst, combination ever. I tend to feel things a little too much, which can be good, I guess, except when it is not reciprocated. And you know what the worst part of it is? I put my feelings into words that are not even close to describing how I feel. I would write poems upon poems trying to explain it all, knowing that I just couldn't. It doesn't work that way, and it never will. I spent endless hours, nights, and random class periods trying to create a poem that described it all. But I never could. That's why I started writing, to make sense of it all, or at least to try making sense of it all.

So thank you for helping me realize what I like to do best. For being great friends regardless of the never-ending teasing from what felt like the entire world. Thank you for hugging me and talking to me when I needed it the most. For making me laugh even when I thought I could no more. Thank you for letting me love you even when you didn't love me back quite the same way. Thank you for staying by my side regardless of how dumb and ridiculous I am. Thank you, because you helped me get one step closer to my happily-ever-after (hopeless romantic, see?).

With all of my love,

Analee

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?

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.
