To My First Significant Other

An open letter to the first person who made me feel loved.

To My First Significant Other
Power Of Positivity

Dear Significant Other,

I don't know how to exactly put the feelings I have toward you into words. I do know that you have showed me so much more than I have ever known already. I am not used to getting this type of attention, so I really adore having it now after a long time. Although we haven't known each other too long, I just want to thank you.

Thank you for letting me talk to you when I have anxiety. From tests to the little things like if I look OK, you are there to listen and help me overcome. I have never had someone in my life, besides a few close friends, who can calm me down, and actually are willing to listen. I know that my anxiety can get bad, so I get nervous talking to anyone about this. You make me feel comfortable, safe and human when I have these problems. I wanna be there for you when the same thing occurs on your end.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful. From dress and heels, to sneakers and sweats you make me feel like I am perfect the way I am every day. I used to get teased for my appearance, but with you I know that I don't need makeup to make me look beautiful, rather my confidence in myself. It is not about the clothes, my nails or my hair. I just have to remember to have confidence in myself. I know we all have our insecurities, but honey you are perfect too.

Thank you for being my supporter. There are times where I do not believe in myself, but you somehow manage to make me wanna get back in the saddle and keep going. Whether it be academics, work or whatever, you just have that way about you to make me want to keep going. There will be times where you need me there for you as well, and I want to be there however I can. Life is not always easy, but I am a personal believer when people say that two is better than one.

Most importantly: thank you so much for continuing to talk with me, and make me feel special. Sometimes my anxiety makes me feel as though I am being annoying, but the fact that you are still so willing to talk with me makes me feel better. It doesn't even matter what we are talking about. Hell, you could be telling me about the day you had and I would feel so glad that you felt you could trust me with it. I want to continue to keep this type of contact with you, and I hope to meet you soon.

Overall, there is a lot more that I could thank you for, but I know that I wanted to get these thanks out. I do not know how I got so lucky to get you in my life. Even if you do not feel the same way, it is OK, but I wanted to communicate this to you the best I could.

Sincerely,

A Significant Other

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.
