For The Person Ready To Make A Change

At one point or another, someone will come into your life, and change it for the better. Sometimes they will come into your life and do the complete opposite. Sometimes, they do a little of both. They cause happiness but bring a lot of pain as well, they bring laughter but a lot of tears too, and yet for some reason you want to keep them around as long as possible.

This is a letter, to the person who was strong enough to let go, and the person who is still trying to find that strength.

This is for the person that spent more time questioning their happiness rather than living their life to the fullest.

This is for the person that wanted love and happiness in the best way, but was willing to accept them anyway at all.

This is for the person who deserves the very best in life, but never had someone to give it to you.

This is for the person who decided to take it for themselves.

You are strong. Your life does not exist because of that person, you are your own being, your own happiness and your own memories. You are not the darkness that they have brought into your life, you are the light that shone before and during their presence. You are the rainbow after the storm, better yet: YOU ARE THE STORM. People can sense your strength, they can see your soul, and they find beauty in your power.

You are not the person that they made you out to be. You set your own limits, you create your own rules and you live your own life. You do not have to live by the decisions that were once made for you, you can change your life at any given time.

There is nothing in this world that can hold you back. You can change the world with your words, your actions, your hopes and dreams! Nobody in this world is worth your future, they aren't worth your ability to prosper and strive. They aren't worth your soul being stripped away and altered into what they want it to be.

Be strong. Be yourself, allow yourself to live a life that consists of happiness and love. No amount of pain is worth it, especially from someone who doesn't respect you enough to love you exactly the way you are. Be amazing, be the person you were put on this earth to be! Be everything you that you have ever dreamed of being! You are only limited by yourself, there is nothing else in this world that limits you, especially not another person.

We have times in our lives when a person comes in and makes some sort of difference, whether negative or positive, they make some kind of change. That change does not have to be permanent. Life is forever changing, you are forever changing, growing, maturing, living.

This is for the person who is ready for change, for the person who is ready to start new, for the person who is ready to be someone other than the person they once were.

Go ahead, your time is now, your time is tomorrow, your time is yours. Use it wisely.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
