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

Why It Makes It So Hard

Anxiety is the beginning stages of relationships. You struggle normally because you always seem to ruin something before it begins. It's staying up at night and tossing and turning because you wonder how someone feels. It's questioning if this is really something or if it is all in your head. Anxiety is being excited about a date but thinking they're going to cancel last minute. It's staring at your phone waiting for it to happen. It's every past relationship on repeat and hoping this one doesn't end the same way. It's an ending that emotionally destroys you. It's trying to handle it with grace and dignity but at the same time, you're in tears wondering when things changed, and where you went wrong. Anxiety tells you, "no, it's not that they were the wrong person, it's that you're flawed and not good enough." And you look at yourself, fixating on things you wish you could change because that's probably why it...

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...

I'm Alive, I Believe in Everything

"I'm Alive, I Believe in Everything" God. Music. World Peace. Cats. Hugs. Chilis Dates. Shoes. Morgan and Kyle. Education. Cheese curds. Ice Cream. Stars covering the night sky. Chivalry. Fate. Love at first sight. Individuality. Respect. Trust. Swinging with your eyes closed. The first snowfall of the season. Binge watching shows on Netflix. The perfect Snapchat filter and selfie pose. The more I learn, the less I know and if you don't try you'll never know. I'm alive, I believe in everything I'm alive, I believe in it all. Late night drives in the car. Dance around or cry it out. Life is beautiful but people always leave. Laughter is the best medicine and a little chocolate never hurts. Seeing my college and knowing I belong. Miracles and chances. Curiosity and Courageousness.  Making wishes and keeping secrets. Kindness and Passion. Self-love and self-respect. Everything a person does  has the...
