To the person who made me who I am today,

Let me just start off by saying, life isn't perfect. No one is. Yes I know there's been a distance between us, but at times we were close.

People come in and out of your life for many reasons, and you were one of them. I'm thankful for the memories we made, the laughter we shared, and the talks we had. You taught me a lot, how to journal and to grow closer to the Lord. We even had lots of conversations and encouraged me to be who I am. Thank you

However that all has changed. It's different now. I miss when I could send you a quick text saying "Hey" or call you and check in. I miss our time where we could catch up. I miss our occasional car rides together to church. Remember that one time we went out shopping, bought Halloween decorations, and had a grand old time. That was a great day. Also, remember that time you helped me do my hair and makeup? Well, that was the day I got into makeup and now wear it almost every day. Thank you for teaching me how to do makeup.

Well, definitely times have changed. I miss you not being in my life. I know this is a season, we all to go through a change to grow and mature to become even better people. So this might be a season in our lives where we are just growing and maturing. I do hope someday, we can eventually reunite.

For now, I wish you all the best in whatever you are doing. I miss not following you on social media and finding out what good things you are up to. However, I do know you are doing amazing things. I want to let you know that every day I pray for you. You helped me to become the person I am today, and I am grateful for that.

I hope and pray that we both have learned our lessons. It's definitely been hard over the past few months without you. You made me realize that some people only come in for a reason and leave; others stay in longer. I appreciate the memories, the laughs, the tears, the long talks. Thank you for making me the person I am today.

From,

The person who changed

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?

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.
