Family Keeps You Grounded.

Family Is The Best Support System A Girl Could Ask For.

Family keeps you grounded. Whenever I am feeling lost, upset, lonely, broken, or so many other emotions, they are here to ground me and fill me with love

Too many times I get caught up in my busy life and forget what truly matters. It takes one visit home or one phone call to my sister to remind me what it is I am working towards.

Sometimes I forget why I work full work weeks and go to school full time. Sometimes I start to wonder why I work multiple internships. Life can get difficult whenever you have a full schedule and feel like half of it has nothing to show. But my family is always there to remind me what I’m working towards.

They are the ones who keep me grounded and keep me pushing towards my goals. Everyone needs that person who tells them “you can do this” or “this is why you ARE doing this”.

Because let’s be honest, life is tough. Life knows how to break you and then shake you once you’re already down. There is no denying that without a strong support system, of some sort, in some way, we would not survive.

A simple drive back to my hometown and pulling through my driveway brings me so much relief. Knowing my family awaits me inside those small town lines gives me hope. Knowing they are there to support me, ask about my endeavors, and guide me through this crazy thing called life is what keeps me sane.

Without my family, I would be completely and utterly lost. They know me better than anyone else in this world. Sometimes I feel like they know me, better than I know me. They help me sort out my emotions and deal with them properly.

Without my support system, without my Family, I would not survive this world. I would not survive my world. I am forever loving and forever grateful for their constant love and support to get me through this life.

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.
