Family time can help you cope with your emotions.

Family Time Is Therapy Time
Live The Adventure

With having an illness or disorder or even disease that doesn't have a cure yet there tends to be some emotions to go with that. One emotion is very common with those who have illnesses or disorders and that is depression. Depression is experienced differently through everyone, and there are different cases of depression as well. My experience with depression is not as severe or serious as others but when I feel that way all I want to do is sleep and stay in bed and not go anywhere or do anything. But when I am with family wheather I am babysitting or spending the day with sisters or aunts and even date nights with my husband always makes me better. It also helps lift my spirit up to a bright shining light. I like to call family time my thereapy time because it has just the same effect as actual therapy. Another emotion that seems to be common as well is anxiety. And like there many different cases of anxiety, while others might be more on an extreme case mine I don't think is that bad yes sometimes to me it feels bad but I don't think it is as bad as some other people's anxiety. But family time again helps my anxiety spending time with family helps my mind be at peace and calm me down. Sometimes my anxiety makes me very emotional and that's when wonderful date nights or even just spending time with my husband, just my husband and I relaxes me and eases my mind which again is just like therapy to me.And to end my article I am going to say family is precious so anytime you get with them cherish it and take pictures! Hope everyone has a nice day and weekend.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
