Chances are, most of us have had that thought. The thought that life without you would be better for everyone else, that if you weren't here anymore everything would just go away. All the pain, unhappiness, and hurt you've ever experienced. I'm not a stranger to it that's for sure.

Those that know me know how much I struggle with these thoughts. They keep me up at night sometimes, but when it gets tough iI just remember the things I'll miss if I do follow through, and I don't want to miss any of it.

1. Graduation

2. Having a house

3. Rescuing a bunch of animals

4. Making a difference in the world, even if it's only yours.

5. Every sunset and sunrise

6. Coloring

7. The people who look up to you

8. Your Friends

9. Your Family

10. Flowers

11. Roller Coasters

12. Movie Nights with your best friends

13. Bonfires

14. New Music

15. Shoes

16. Traveling

17. Being consumed by your passion

18. New books

19. Sleeping in

20. Fun facts

Even those these are small trivial things, they've kept me going. When times get hard, knowing that a movie night is around the corner or that I finally get to get that new pair of shoes I've been wanting help. Find the things that keep you going, and keep a list close by so when everything is crashing down, you know why you've kept going this long.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

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.
