To The Guy Who Made Me Feel Like Me Again

Dear boy,

Timing is always key. And when you came into my life, the timing couldn't have been any better. I was a hormonal, heartbroken seventeen year old girl, who just cut off a good chunk of her hair, as to try and free myself from the previous year of my life. I always put on a smile and my favorite shoes, but behind that, I was a wreck. I pushed away most people, and rejected love and support when it came my way. But most of all, when you met me, you met a person who was angry with God.

I was this way for quite sometime. But then, there you were.

You were this much needed calm in the storm that was my life. You eventually became someone that I couldn't go a day without talking to, but if we did, we could pick up right where we left off, as if no time had been lost.

I needed to remember how to be treated right, and that's exactly what you did for me. You made me value our friendship and cherish the moments and memories we made together more than I ever have before.

On top of all the goofy and fun moments we have shared together, all of which are my favorite, you have been the perfect gentleman. A type a guy I didn't know even existed anymore. You helped me to realize that it wasn't me or my not so great luck with guys that I thought I had. I always gave too much of myself to others, and never left any piece of me for myself. When you came into my life and treated me so differently than all the other guys I've ever known, it caught me off guard.

Through you, I have become a better version of myself. I no longer need constant reassurance in life, because by your example, I know I don't need anyone's approval but my own.

Whether you know it or not, you helped me heal. And you helped me grow into the person I am today. You taught me how to be a better and more faithful Christian. You've shown me nothing but love and support since the day we met, something which is a rare find in anyone. You have allowed me to loosen up and enjoy things more, and not rush through life as quickly as I have. But most importantly, you have shown me what having a true friend looks like.

So thank you. Thank you for deciding to become my friend and go on adventures with me, because lets face it, anytime you get into a car with me, an adventure is usually just around the corner.

 I am the luckiest girl in the world, to have been able to find someone like you.

Love,
Me

An Open Letter To My Mentor

Dear Dennis, You.  You are the reason I'm still standing tall and making it through high school. Without you, I wouldn't be on the path I am on right now. You embraced me and took me under your wing freshman year, and our relationship quickly grew from there. Whether it was seeking answers to my multitude of questions in any of my English classes over the years, to seeking advice when it came to everything else, you never backed down and always managed to see me through to the other side.  Your room became a safe haven for me. A place where I could go and complain about my school work until I sucked it up and got it done. A place where we both exchanged many laughs and tears. A place where sometimes the only thing filling the air was silence.  You're so taken for granted by everyone. The way you intertwine your passion for literature and love of teaching is something amazing, and something I hope to have one day. You put your all into what you do fo...

Learning To Appreciate The Storm

Recently, I heard someone talking about the trials and hardships that they have been facing in their life. I perked up, eager to listen and hoping I could relate to their struggles, and learn how they managed to get through those hard times. But what that person said is not at all what I was expecting. See, that person didn't hold the magic answer to how to make all your problems go away, in fact that person still struggled with the same problems years later. But what that person had was Jesus. Jesus is the magic answer to all of life's difficulties, but he doesn't take your problems away, he just makes it easier while you go through those struggles. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace. God didn't swoop in and instantly put the fire out for them, he protected them in it. When people looked into the fire, they saw not three men, but four. And what a testament that was. Even through the hardest of times, God was still with them, God stil...

An Open Letter To The Child I Lost Along The Way

Dear Younger Me, There are so many things I wish I could tell you. So many secrets to life to whisper in your ears. So many bad memories to protect you from to try and keep your innocence just a little while longer. I look back and wonder where I lost you and when I became wrapped up in this mess called life. Some of my fondest memories come from you. From sneaking out of the house on the farm with the sole intent on crawling up into the the hay loft to spend endless hours with the kittens, to crawling under the cow fence to run through the meadow and be free. Life can be a tricky thing sometimes, but remembering these memories makes it a little easier to get through the hard days. Sometimes I think if I could go back in time and tell you what I've learned along the way, maybe I could spare you a heartbreak or two, and save you from growing up too early.  Yet the days without you inside me, it hurts just a little more. No longer do I sit down at the piano playing for hours ...
