Everything you know about yourself is gonna change. Everything you know about the people around you is also going to change, as to be expected. You will fall in love, or at least you think you will, multiple times. Each time you will have your heart shattered, whether it be by your Significant Other, or by the necessity of the parting. You will do drugs. You will become addicted to cigarettes. You will alienate many people in your life because of that cringy phase we all go through, that you will cling to for a little longer than everyone else.Take that ego of yours and shove it up your ass because by the time you get to where I am, you will have a very dependent self-image.You will become more open minded, you will strive to better yourself, and in some ways you will succeed.You will lose almost all of your “friends”, but you will keep a small handful.You will be presented with the opportunity to enter into your second Long Distance Relationship, and no matter how scary it seems, you have to do it.She is your soulmate.You will enter into a life of mediocrity, working every day of your life to not even pay some of your bills. Some of the companies that you owe money to will hate you, and you will lay awake at night sometimes wondering when collections is gonna bust down your door and take away everything.This fear will make you believe you are not worthy of being in a relationship. You will learn to loathe yourself at times, despite the positive things people say about you, because you hide your insecurities, and for the most part you do it well.But it hurts. You’re going to go through a lot of pain that nobody will ever see.But in the end it will be all worth it, because for the first time in a long time, I’m happy about where I am in life.Everything you will go through, and everything I go through to this day are things that everyone deals with. You are not, and never will be alone.Because despite your hardships, whether self inflicted or not, you will love those who stick around with all of your might. You will try, you will fail, but you won’t give in.You will strip yourself of all the things that make you who you are right now, and you will find a fragile and vulnerable man with the biggest heart. And when you finally find him, and share him with the world...He will rejoice, for he has love. With the love of our friends, family, and lover, we will make it through anything, that I truly believe.
