A Short Pep-Talk
Elissa Croslin

You can feel the fresh ground beneath your feet.

Today is a new day. Today is the day to start over. And today, there is a new you, a more refined and changed you.

The day looks to you with a smiling face of hopeful opportunity you are overjoyed to embrace. You are anew with rest and, hopefully, breakfast in your tummy. You walk forward recognizing how brave you are to face this cruel world, while also recognizing the joy and light emitting from you, constantly changing the world minute by minute.

You continue to keep your own views and morals, but you must allow some of your opinions and ideas to be shaped by others you respect and look up to. You don't change yourself to benefit others but, instead, to better yourself.

Everything is constantly changing around you, and sometimes, it overwhelms you. It maybe even leaves you feeling like you are lagging behind and useless, but this is so far off from reality. You are evolving and changing every day. Growing stronger to the challenges you face.

Your heart, at times, may feel heavy... but that's from all the love you hold and cherish. You recognize the good in people, and you send love right back out into the universe.

You have been through so much. Yet, you should be so proud of all you accomplished.

You are worthy, and you are more loved than you ever thought.

The day brings it's best to you, and you are more ready for all you encounter than you think.

The next day seems a little sweeter, with your feet dragging less and less behind you.

You are growing to be all you ever imagined and more. You are cherished. You are good enough and, most importantly, MORE than enough.

Take it easy on yourself. You went through so many battles, and you deserve a break.

Breathe in and out... Today, you can change the world. Bring about peace and kindness with each word you speak.

You got this.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

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.
