What if I never love again?


I still believe in love even after having my heart broken before. I still believe someone is out there for me and will love me unconditionally.

After getting your heart broken, you start to doubt many things. You start to doubt if you’ll ever be loved, or if you will ever be able to love someone again. If you got cheated on, you start to think that you weren’t pretty enough, if he got bored of you, or you weren’t thin enough, and etc. Boys have a way of making us feel like that sometimes. It’s completely false. This is just your emotions and insecurity clouding your judgment. You are beautiful. You are enough. Remember, you are someone’s soul mate. You are someone’s image of perfection.

My immediate reaction to heartbreak is blasting Adele, pretending I’m Adele in concert, but with a pint of ice cream in my left hand, and a glass of wine in my right. This is my way of healing. After listening to those sad songs, I go to songs like “Gives You Hell” by The All American Rejects and “Can’t Hold Us Down” by Christina Aguilera.

Heartbreaks suck. The worst kinds of heartbreaks are when not only does your heart hurt, but also your body. It makes you think that you’ll never be okay, and that your world has just ended. You will be okay. You’ll be happy again and regain that beautiful smile. You will be okay. You will find love again.

I lost all hope when I got my heart broken. I felt like I could never love again, but now I think differently. In the moment of the pain, you feel you can’t do this again. You can’t go through this hurt again. Truth is, you may or you may not go through it again. We can never know which love will last because it’s a risk that we take. Love is a risk, but it’s so worth it when it works out. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll learn, cry, and then try again.

Love is worth it. Love makes life more beautiful and special. Love is settling with someone because you truly enjoy their company and them as a person. Never give up on love. Anyone who has been in love knows that it is one of the most magical feelings a person can experience.

Love isn’t pretty. It is going through hills of life with your best friend and partner. Love is more than the insta worthy pictures we see every day. It is sharing your fries when you’re hungry. Love is embarrassing each other in silly ways, and laughing afterwards. Love is getting into the car and just driving to find your next adventure. Love is arguing and kissing afterwards. Love is beautiful and so worth it.

Just wait and it will come to 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?

1991
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.
