You Are Everything I Never Expected

I just want to thank you.

First of all, I just want to thank you.

Everyone knows that I am not one to step out of my comfort zone, but for some odd reason, I found the courage to give you a chance. It was not easy, I am going to be honest, I had my doubts, but with you, I know I can be myself. This is something that just came naturally to me and it felt so right. I have never had someone who truly understands and accepts me for the person I am. I never have to hold back or pretend with you.

It is crazy how life has a way of sending you on a journey, only to lead you to where you need to be. I look at your past and my past and they are the complete opposite. I have always been the straight A, good girl and you were the "bad boy," who was always in trouble. But I think you needed to go through that phase to get to where you are now because it makes you appreciate the things you have always had.

I could have been like any other person and judged you for the things in your past, but I chose to see the person you are instead. As we began to talk and get to know each other, my whole perception of you changed. It was weird because I have never felt like that before. All of my doubts went away and all I saw was the person I loved in front of me.

The main thing is to not worry about what others may think, the only opinion that maters is yours. If what you're doing is making you a better person, then by all means go for it. You have to learn that it is okay to do things for you and you only. Living life for others only makes you miserable, always do what makes you happy.

"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take."

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.
