It's going to get worse before it gets better.

To The girl That's Picking Up The Pieces, Again

We both know this isn’t the first time you’ve felt like this. You’ve found yourself here over and over again. Although this keeps happening, that doesn’t make the pain any less painful. It doesn't make you handle this any better. There isn't a way you can prepare yourself to lose someone you love so much. Sure, things may have changed a little but you still could have never imagined things ending like they did. No matter how long the relationship, or how full of passion, love is love. It's always going to feel like a knife to the heart when you know that you've lost it.

Every heartbreak leaves us with open wounds and it’s never something a simple band-aid can fix. The first cuts are usually the deepest of them all. We're only human though. We grow, we learn, we adapt. We do whatever it is that we have to do to survive. We may feel like we're dying on the inside but yet we still put a smile on our faces and act like we really aren't losing our minds.

Moving on can be hard, sometimes, it will feel nearly impossible. For a while you won't be able to go anywhere without seeing something that reminds you of them or reminds you of an old memory. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I’m here to tell you it will get better. You’re going to be able to look at his picture and not cringe. One day you will be able to look back at all of this and smile because you can't read an inbox without a little rain.

You’re going to find someone who finally makes you feel alive again. Time with him will always make you feel like it’s never going to end. You'll be so happy and it'll feel like there wasn't ever really a piece of you missing no matter how deep the cut. He's going to be the one; the one who saves you from yourself. He'll be your guiding light. He may not be exactly what you've dreamed but I promise you he will be exactly what you need. He'll love you like a song that's playing on the radio dial.

One day, you will find the right person. I may not know who that person is yet but I know he is out there. I’m sure whoever your person is isn’t going to come to you without scars of their own, but if it’s true then those scars won’t matter because they’ll just make you love them more for the person who’s conquered so much in life.

Life has so much to offer you right now, don’t let this one person be the reason you aren’t enjoying it. Go out, climb mountains, cross oceans, be happy. Don't go looking for love, love will always find it's way. Love life but more importantly love yourself.

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.
