A Letter to Me
Aliexpress

Dear Chelsea,

Well, Older me anyways... Hi, how are ya?! Things are decent here, still sort of shaky. I wonder how it is with you now? What's the love life like? What's his (or her) name? What kind of personality do they carry? Are they funny? Aha, anyways I'll stop the interrogation. Wait, do we have a dog?! What breed? Name?

I hope you stuck through with the military plan. It will be pretty cool to be a Naval firefighter... I think so anyways. Are we stationed on a ship or submarine? How many countries have we been to? (Have we kissed any foreign guys?!) JUST KIDDING... maybe. The way it's looking, if I sign my papers and swear in in January, I'll leave around late December or early January. That being said, I should have finished my environmental science degree in December. Oh how did Australia and New Zealand? What grades did you make?

Anyways, I started Jiu-Jitsu classes. Did you keep up with it? How fit are we? Can we beat dads ass yet? Aha, yet again just kidding. I hope with all my heart that things worked out for the better. I know I'm super stressed and completely unfocused on the important things right now. There's too much outside stress for me to even think straight. I do know I'm keeping Jiu-Jitsu classes and running conditioning with Alec up. I really don't think people know just how much this Military career means to me... I have so many memories in this area, that being around here literally hurts my heart. I need a change, and a drastic one at that. I need to be my own person, which I don't even know who she is because K leaving took her away too. I haven't taken the time to be me... I hope we change that in the future. I hope we found someone who doesn't mind the completely damaged past, and who accepts us for past and present. That's something we need, right? That's a touchy subject, so I won't delve too deep.


Keep your chin up. Queens don't let their tiaras fall, remember? I hope we learned our lesson, on everything. You are my biggest hero, and my goals to do great things are inspired by who I aim to be. I have so many goals for myself, and I hope and pray (to what ever deity) that we stick to the plan and make the best out of our-self.

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?

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.
