Open When...

We are having relationship problems.

Open When...

We have all seen those cute "OPEN WHEN" letters that girls create for their significant others. I have, admittedly, never written one of these; although, after scrolling through Pinterest looking for a cute craft to do for my boyfriend, I started thinking about what I would write if I ever did decide to do something like this...

*theoretically, in an envelope titled: OPEN WHEN WE ARE HAVING RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS*

I am a fighter. I work so hard for everything I have. I strive to be the best person I can be, while pushing those in my life to lead the best lives they can lead. I have never had anything handed to me. I am loyal, I am honest, and I am forgiving.

I am an optimist. I always see the best in people, even if they don't see anything good left in themselves. I expect the most out of everyone around me. I believe that nobody is perfect. I get annoyed easily, and I get angry at the littlest of things. I am needy, I am short-tempered, and I am a handful.

I have come to realize that relationships aren't what you see in the Disney movies. Life isn't filled with talking animals that will help us fix all of our problems, no matter how good we are at singing. We will fight, argue, and disagree, but at the end of the night I will find myself wrapped in your arms, even if only in my mind. I will wake up to your beautiful eyes and your sleepy smile. I will hear your muffled "good morning" as you encase yourself beneath the sheets and return to your deep sleep (because although we both find ourselves awake at 5am, we've always agreed that 5am is just way too early to begin the day).

Every part of my being says that we are meant to be together. I may be upset with you now, or vice-versa, but I want this. I know that if I am with you, I can accomplish anything. I know you will push me to be the best person I can be, and I would do the same for you.

You're my other half, and sometimes my better one.

I may still find myself affected by past encounters with past relationships, but I am willing to work past any and everything to be with you. I'm not sure what the sitatuon is that caused you to find yourself reading this letter, but I do know how hard we have both worked to be where we are now. I will not give up on us because of a minor setback.

I cannot promise you perfection, but I can promise you a lifetime of never-ending happiness.

I love you always,

Taylor.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

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

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
