Something I have learned time and time again is that happiness does not just come to you. Happiness is something that each of us can have every single day; there is no person or object that is holding your happiness. It's not even something you have to find, it's something you have to acknowledge. While working towards being happier, repeat at least one of these statements to yourself throughout each day... Studies show that it can increase your belief in the statement.

  • I can handle this one step at a time.
  • I love myself.
  • My problem has a solution and I will work on a plan.

  • I am strong.
  • I can find peace.
  • I choose to focus on what I can control.
  • My smile can make someone feel better.
  • I am happy with who I am.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
