2. Watch him fall for the other girl...(for the second time).
3. Come to terms with the fact that, that girl will probably be one of your bestfriends because that's usually the way these things work out.
4. Call your girlfriends. Go to chic fil a. Eat your weight in waffle fries. (Be okay with eating your weight in waffle fries. #noshame)
5. Repeat step 4 several times.
6. Fill entire notebooks with words about him.
7. Leave for Christmas break, and forget about your problems because Santa is coming. Attempt to get over him. (Please take note that your attempts will fail, but it's good to try.)
8. Learn very quickly that every smile, laugh, word, movement, thought, that this boy ever makes will be over analyzed in your brain a thousand times over. Just let it happen.
9. Go to New York.
10. Freeze to death on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and drink hot chocolate together.
11. Rub the bull's balls on Wallstreet with him. Send the pictures to your dad.
12. Slow dance in historic buildings.
13. Model walk down the streets. Make complete fools of yourselfs.
14. Never stop making fun of his sparkly gloves because they are completely ridiculous.
15.Sit next to him on the bus, fall asleep on his shoulder.
16. Go to Madison Square Garden together. He'll tell you he likes a different girl. Maintain some dignity. Cry in the bathroom.
17. Let him sit next to you on the plane ride home because he may be the reason for your broken heart...but he's also the reason for all of your smiles.
18. He's going to tell you that he lied about liking the other girl. He's going to tell you he likes you. And you're going to make things VERY awkward. And that's okay.
19. Awkwardly hold hands. It will be adorable. Pinky promise.
20. Understand that there will always be people who don't want you to be happy. Fight for what makes you happy. Don't give it up. Let him hold your hand and tell you you're beautiful because you deserve all those things and more.
21. Tell yourself that you deserve those things.
22. The last thing you need to learn is that every time you look at him, you'll feel astounded that you could ever deserve somebody so amazing.
23. Forever thank your lucky stars for 8th grade.
I love this. I love this I love this I love this.

ReplyDeleteKenzie,
ReplyDeleteWould you be part of a 6-poet video project where we make poetry videos?
You know, you perform a poem and we turn it into a video?
Write back soon.

DeleteYeah, it's definitely weird.

ReplyDeleteFirst off, it's so weird to see my real name on my blog. Second of all, of course! Gimme details.
ReplyDeleteI'm still finding poets who are willing to join. Also, we need to find someone to film it (Abby can't film everything can she?) and we need to finish it by June 2nd.
DeleteI'll get back to you.
I can't. How cute. I love revisiting NY with this.
