Bloom Where You Are Planted

Never give up.

I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. We may not have been put into the best of situations, but it's important to use these lessons to build us up in becoming better people. Time is of the essence. How crucial the power of time is in this life to make the most of every moment. To let any moment or opportunity slip away would be a complete waste and only make it worse on ourselves. We were given the gift of time, and it's up to us to decide on how we choose to use it.

In any given situation, we should overcome the obstacles and dig deep past the surface to reach love, closure, and feeling. I came to this notion that people wait for problems to fix themselves rather than taking control of the situation. We use time to avoid what was meant for us to face. Instead of dealing with our reality, we fill this void of worriment and uncertainty with the distraction of time.

Life is far too short to be anything less than who you were meant to become. If there's anything I've taken away, it's to go after what you believe in. Regardless of how difficult the journey of getting there may be. As cliche as that sounds, I've learned how important it is to follow your goals. The feeling of intimidation may be a set back, but it should not define you.

No matter how big your goal may be, give yourself the room to grow. Rise above the challenge. Wear your heart upon your sleeve always. For one day you'll meet someone who's going down the path you've already crossed. Be an inspiration.

So bloom where you are planted. Always give your best even if it may never be enough. Accept the things in life that you cannot change and work on changing the things that you can do something about.

Have faith in yourself.

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
