Dear you,
I’ve spent countless hours trying to remember a time without you. I just can’t seem to wrap my mind around the idea that there was ever me without you, and you without me. You didn’t just walk into my life, you crashed in. I didn’t look at life the same way. You left me in shock. I cared about you in an instant and you cared about me. The more we learned about one another the stronger our bond became. There was no truth we could tell that was too much, that scared us away. It didn’t bother me how ugly your past was, or how many bad decisions you’ve made, I just wanted to know you, all of you. I grew attached to you faster than I realized I could. I was drawn to you and you were drawn to me. It was as if you didn’t just come into my life, but some strange force was working that forced us together, because we were meant to be in each other’s lives. There was something remarkable about the way it all happened, something memorable, something irreplaceable.
Sometimes relationships and friendships aren’t meant to last forever, but I’d like to think that for every person who’s crashed into my life, I’ve grown. Some people have crashed into my life and stayed, and the pure joy that I’m given from those people is outrageous because I didn’t know I could love people in my life so much. Some people have crashed and left, and maybe that was for the best. After all, some people are only meant to stay a season. I suppose that’s the point, you crashed in and took things from me, gave things to me, we grew as separate people and we grew together. What more could I ask for?
Wherever you are right now, reading this, know I’m grateful. I believe that we only get so many people who crash into our lives and change us drastically. You gave me the opportunity to see life in a way I never have. You helped make me into the person I am right here, right now. I’ll always be thankful for that. If it hadn’t been for you crashing into my life when you did, at the exact moment you did, maybe I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am. The memories I gained from you, good and bad, will be cherished forever, as the building blocks they are which helped me reach this point in my life.
We only get so many people in our lives who can be what you were or have been to me. You changed it all, every ounce of my life slightly altered just by your presence. That’s something truly spectacular. The most beautiful relationships and friendships are built from these kinds of moments. And now that I’ve known you, I can take a piece of you wherever I go and I can share what you gave me with the others who surround me.
You obliterated a piece of me, shattered the ground I had built part of my life on, and then together we built a beautiful masterpiece upon the same ground. That’s more than I ever could have asked of a person, so thank you. Whether you stayed or left the masterpiece of memories we built still stands.
Crash, Crashing, Crashed right into my “perfect” life.
You are perfect.
And I don’t mean your hair, your writing, or teeth. I mean you. Just, who you are. And I don’t want you to ever be sitting in a dark room thinking that nobody cares.
Because I care. I always have. And I love each and every one of you. I hope you can be true to yourself, and let your beauty shine through.
You. Are. Awesome.
Every smile, every joke, every whistled tune. That’s what we should live for.
Don’t be afraid to move forward.
It’s terrifying to face change. But I believe in you, and I know you can survive the new opportunities.
Do what you think is best for you.
You’re the only one who knows what you need.
I love you, and I enjoy seeing you on Tumblr.
Live life and keep pushing toward your goals, I’m already so proud of you.
Always Keep Fighting, my perfect friend.
So in honor of another hundred followers (omg you guys are wonderful beyond words) I decided to procrastinate on my work and write a post on ways to reward yourself after studying/completing an assignment/doing well on an exam/doing poorly on an exam/when you’re worn out etc. Basically there is no bad time to reward yourself, and rewards can be big or small. Giving yourself a big reward (even for a small accomplishment!) does not make you selfish or materialistic or anything negative. Rewarding myself helps me push through the tough times and enjoy the good times even more. So with all that said, here are 50 great things to do to reward yourself:
