Keep Your Loved Ones Close

There is no point in success unless you have someone to share it with

Keep Your Loved Ones Close
huffington post

Life works in interesting ways. People come and go, but the ones who are meant to stay in your life will find their way back to you. With that being said, we should always keep these people close to our hearts. Whether it be a friend, a pet, a family member, or a role model, they deserve to be treated with love and respect. They are the ones who have been there for us through thick and thin and would want to be by our side no matter what. It is important that we don't take that for granted. We never know when life can turn around unexpectedly.

We confide in our loved ones for a lot of things. Whether it be someone to talk to, explore the world with, eat with, or a shoulder to cry on. They are our biggest motivators and supporters. To me, the key to happiness is having good health and company (your loved ones). With all of these things, I firmly believe that one can live a happy life. There is no point in success unless you had someone to share it with. The best news is shared with the people you care about and the ones who you consider important in your life.

It is important that we help them when times get tough. The good ones will be there for you when you were there for them. They will not step all over you and risk what you had with them. After all, everything does happen for a reason - people come and go but the ones who are meant to stay will continue to do so. These are the people who stand by you and watch you grow and they are the ones who make you want to become a better person. They do not try to change your entire personality - these are considered toxic people. They lift you up and inspire you to make positive changes. Good friends, for example, do not change their character in certain circumstances - they continue to have the same values and beliefs. In other words, they do not change for the worse when put into a different social environment.

In mature relationships, people recognize what their priorities are. With that, they do not forget the ones who were there for them when no one else was. Both of them make the effort to communicate with one another and see each others' worth. They let each other know consistently through actions and words that they appreciate one another and that they are each other half. They do not try to change each other and work their way to conquer life, one step at a time together. They realize that they are not alone in this world and that they have each other no matter what. In certain circumstances, if life separates the two, they know that they will always be with each other.

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.
