What It's Like Living Without You

What It's Like Living Without You
Jordan Musick

Being forced to live without someone that has been a huge part of your life since day one is an extremely difficult, different, trying, and terrifying time. That time you think you will get over is the rest of your life - you're not getting over it anytime soon. So you wonder what it's like when you're gone. What will people feel like? How will they feel without you here? Let me help you out. It's the worst feeling in the world. You forget how to breathe, your mind is foggy, memories are all that go through your brain. You can sleep, you can't eat. You just feel like you're merely existing. What is life like without you here?

Without you my heart hurts - it physically aches. Without you my world is spinning backwards. Without you I'm scared. Without you I don't know where to turn next. Without you I have no where to run. Without you I'm alone. Without you I cry alone at night. Without you I feel empty and numb. Without you I have no one to talk to. Without you I can't hold my head up. Without you I can not heal properly. Without you I don't have a support system. Without you I feel like I'm drowning - in an ocean of sadness. Without you I'm sad. Without you I found depression. Without you I found a friend in addiction. Without you I can't move on. Without you I can't trust people. Without you I don't smile. Without you I'm fake. Without you I scream in agony. Without you I can't love. Without you I don't want to live. Without you I have no one. Without you my safe place is gone. Without I'm weak. Without you the struggle gets harder with each passing day. Without you my mind is fogged. Without you I physically can not move on. Without you it never gets easier. Without you I can't feel anything. Without you my heart is numb. Without you I'm just a lonely soul. Without you I can't see my future. Without you I can't even see the next few steps in front of me. Without you I can't sing. Without you I wish for the past. Without you I forget the sound of your voice. Without you I can't listen to certain songs. Without you Christmas isn't the same. Without you I dream of comfort. Without you I don’t have a cheerleader. Without you its hard to believe in anything. Without you I'm miserable. Without you I can’t grow. Without you I'm torn - straight down the middle. Without you I fear the future. Without I hate roses. Without you I cry when I see white S-10s. Without you I have to live my life differently. Without you I have to move on. Without you I have to face what lies ahead alone. Without you I have no one to give me your words of advice - your words of wisdom. Without you I am simply without you, and I don't want that.

I don't want to go or be anywhere without you there with me. I don't want to be happy without you. I don't want to be without you at all. I love you. I love you will all of my heart and I don't want to be without you, but I really don't have a choice. I don't want to move on without you, but you left me no choice. My life will forever be different without 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?

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?
