Sometimes this world can be dark but you always brought a light to it.

Future Me,

I truly hope that you have reached your goal and you are happy. I know that life hasn't always been easy, but I know it has been a journey full of experiences and challenges. I hope that you have been embracing every moment and appreciating every opportunity. I hope that you have been challenging yourself. You always needed the extra push sometimes. I hope that you remained blissfully enchanted by everyone you meet. I hope that you are still choosing to have a big heart, instead of allowing the cruel world to get to you. I hope that you have been honest, even if your honesty created turmoil. The only thing we have in this life to be remembered by is our word. I hope that you created something, and you are proud of it.

I hope that you are reckless sometimes, you never have been good at taking chances and you needed to be. I hope that you are being the best teacher you can be, you were always told you were going to change the lives of your students. I hope that you are still allowing yourself to let people in, even when others show you reasons not too. I hope that you are still the kind of person that would drop anything to do anything for anyone.

I hope that you are still holding your family and friends close to you because they have always been so important. I hope that you aren't overworking yourself and you are finding time to just relax. I hope that you are still writing. It has been important to you forever and just because life gets distracting I don't want you to lose that. I hope you are still finding the positive side of every situation and using that to your advantage. I hope you wake up happy every day and embrace all the things this life has given you.

Future me, what I really am trying to say is that you deserve the world, so I hope that you are taking advantage of life and remembering all the greatness in the world. Sometimes this world can be dark but you always brought a light to it.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
