It is easy to focus on our every day struggles when we are constantly stressed and tired. Our responsibilities weigh us down as we go through life. We are always being pulled in different directions, and have little time to focus our attention on others. Often, our priorities get mixed up. We no longer focus on the people around us, but instead we focus on ourselves. It is important that we remember the people that we love, because they are the ones who bring light to our cloudy days. Here are 10 things we forget to tell our loved ones.

1. Thank you

Thank you for always being there for me, even when I cannot be there for you. Thank you for supporting my dreams and aspirations, because not everyone believed in me. Thank you for your help, because I cannot do everything on my own.

2. I Love you

You have always been there for me, through the good times and bad times. You have never let me down, and always know how to cheer me up. I love you.

3. I appreciate you

I know I do not say this enough, but I appreciate everything that you do. You have a busy life, but manage to always have time for me. You are someone I can rely on, and I am thankful for that.

4. I am here for you

If you ever need anything, I am here for you. You are a friend, a loved one, and someone that I care about a lot. I will stick by your side, I will be there to help you, and I will always have time for you. We are not perfect, and that is okay. I care about you regardless. I will always be there for you.

5. You are important

Never feel as though you do not serve a purpose in this world. You are important to your family, friends, and the people who look up to you. The things that you do, impact others. You deserve to be considered, and you deserve to be heard.

6. I care about you

No matter what, I will always care about you. Even when I am angry, I still care. I will always worry about you, and think about you. I will never stop caring.

7. You can do anything

You can do anything you set your mind to. You have the ability to make this world an amazing place, and to follow the dreams that you wish to pursue. Do not regret the things you could have done. You are capable of doing it all.

8. I am sorry

I am sorry for the mistakes I have made, and the feelings I have hurt. You are a loved one, and I care about your feelings. We can get past this, and learn from it.

9. I forgive you

We all make mistakes, and those mistakes are not always easy to forgive. However, you are someone that I love and care about. Even though forgiveness is hard, I could not live the rest of my life being mad at you. I forgive you.

10. Everything will be okay

You are going to face some hard times in your life, but it will get better. You have people like me to look out for you, and care for you. You will make memories, and experience greater things in this world. You are not alone. Everything will be okay.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
