You Could Be...

The one.

You Could Be...

Everyone wants to find that perfect person to make their life-long partner. Sometimes you can find them very early in life at a young age. Other times you find them down the road later in life. Either fine, but sometimes even though you may think you have found that "Mr. or Mrs. Right" doesn't mean it's always the right time.

Finding someone who you truly care and love for at a young age can be a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you know how it feels to genuinely love someone as a significant other. At the same time, though, it could be a curse because maybe you're both not ready for a full commitment due to having a lot more life to live and a lot more growing up to do.

Same goes for if you find that someone later on in life. Though it is expected that we're supposed to know what we want in life by the time you're done with high school or college, not everyone does. So, sometimes there are individuals who literally don't know what they actually want till they're forty, and that's fine too.

"Soul mates? I think they exist. Just not always romantically" -anonymous. I believe in soul mates, but not everyone does. My belief is that every single person in this world was made to match with someone. Whether that be a man and a girl, a man and a man, or a girl and a girl, it doesn't matter. It all depends on what you believe. Maybe it isn't always romantically, it could always just be more of a friendship than anything.

If someone comes into your life and they literally do everything for you and you do the same for them, but then down the road you two take a break, that doesn't necessarily mean it's over. Who knows, maybe one day the two of you will meet paths again? Or if you both really care for one another the cycle could happen all over again and again and again. It's the stuff like this where it makes me believe we're all meant to be with a specific person.

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?

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.
