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 youhappy.

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

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
