I Hope You Grow

I hope you become the best version of yourself.

I hope you grow. I hope you grow into the person you have always dreamed to be. We are constantly changing, but sometimes, we get stuck. That is when you need to think what is best for you in order to grow. Change is scary, but it is what you need in order to live.

As time goes on, the people you've known your whole life change a little bit. Look at it more as the people you have known and loved are growing; just as you are. As I've gotten older, I've learned what the people around me have become passionate about, their adventures, and have watched them really become themselves. You need to step out of your comfort zone. Do things you were always too scared to do. Be the best version of yourself.

Find the people who will help you grow. Always surround yourself with people who bring out the good vibes. Whether it's a significant other, or just a friend, you want that person to bring out the best in you. People who will cheer you on, and pick you up when you're down. If you find that person, or those people, hold onto them.

Everyone grows at different rates. Always remember that; the point is that you are growing. You are constantly learning, becoming wiser (sometimes), and life throws lessons at you everyday. It may not seem like it, but think of yourself six months ago. If it's any situation like mine, I have learned so much about life and myself I'm almost a completely different person.

Never let someone stunt your growth. Never let someone make you feel less special than you are; not a boy, friend, family member. No one. You are a person with goals and aspirations, and you can never let someone take that from you. Grow past any negativity thrown your way, as hard as it may be. I know many people think this sounds stupid. Maybe it does. I truly believe that everyone is constantly growing and will never stop.

There's always the idea of finding someone to grow with you. Two people who build each other up and help each other grow. But it is most important to help yourself grow first. You need to learn yourself before you can fully learn someone else. When you do finally find that person, they can always help you learn yourself even more.

I hope you grow more than you ever imagined you could. I hope you learn, love, hurt, fail, succeed, and everything in between. I hope you let go of that one thing you think you can't let go of. I hope you grow as tall and bright as a sunflower.

I hope you grow.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
