We get wound up and forget sometimes

1. REMEMBER

to love always.

Your feelings, questions, ideas and thoughts are valued and valid.

You do not need another person to validate them for you.

They are real the moment you feel them.

2. THINK

Think about what kind of person you want to be.

What kind of person do you want to show the world?

What kind of person do you want to keep to yourself?

Become the type of person you'd like to confide in .

3. KNOW

that seeing some one and interacting with someone everyday doesn't effect the importance of the relationship.

They will stay if they wish to.

4. GO

Literally just go.

Do it.

See you when you get back, you will be okay.

5. FAMILY

Whoever they may be (blood related or not), if they're important enough for you to call them family and mean it, they will take care of you, always. Don't doubt them.

6. ABSORB

You choose what you let in.

Absorb the things in this world that you want in your mind, body and soul.

Unwanted emotions and thoughts will try to make their way in.

Try your best to push them away.

7. FEAR

You'll always have it, because you're human.

Find strength to keep moving through fear and making it work to your advantage.

Conquer it.

These are just a few things I have found that help me keep the peace inside my head.

Sometimes we get so wound up as humans, we tend to forget the basics.

We can love so hard sometimes and not receive love back in the same way.

Often times that can be misread for something negative, but in reality, we need to just stop and breathe and think about our situation.

One day life is serious, the next day it is lax.

It's hard to keep up.

I see these things in the list above as life basics.

Although some are just common sense, I feel like in a busy life, we forget the little things.

I hope you feel loved today, friends.

You deserve it.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
