When was the last time you told someone you loved them? Have you told them that you are thankful for their existence and that you are grateful for having met them and keeping them in your life?

While our everyday responsibilities are important, it's crucial that we do not forget about those who we love and care about. It is just as important, if not more important to make sure we make time for them and to let them know how much they mean to us.

I have found that life is shorter than we think it is, and we only have so much time with people in this life, and often we take advantage of said time. We need to stop and remember that nobody is promised tomorrow and anything can happen at any given moment. So, we need to take the time we have to tell those we love that we love them.

There are many people we might know that may have greatly impacted our lives, but they had no idea that they did so. There are so many little things that people do that influence our lives that we don't appreciate until it's too late.

Often enough, we get so caught up in life that we forget the roles of others in our lives. We forget to let them know how we feel, but we have to remember to tell them before we don't have the chance to.

Unfortunately, we live in a generation that is too scared to talk about any affectionate or even unaffectionate feelings that we have towards anyone else. We find it hard to even realize, and admit that we have these feelings at all.

In my opinion, the world would be a much better place if we could just let those we love know how we feel. You never know when someone's life could be taken from them so take the chance, let people know how you feel and how much you appreciate them.

Thank them for what they did for you because maybe they didn't even realize they've left an everlasting impact on your life and the world around them. You only have one chance in life and you should use it to express how you really feel about things.

With that, use every day as another chance to let those that you love know that you do in fact love and care about them. Don't wait until it's too late and just take any given risk to get your feelings out there and acknowledged. Tomorrow isn't promised, so take advantage of today.
