Although children are not as knowledgable and mature as most adults, children can teach us a lot of things, even life lessons. Here are 10 life lessons that us adults can learn from all children:

1. Take naps.

They're good for your mind, body, and soul. It improves your performance and will put you in a better mood. Take some naps!

2. Be fearless.

Don't be afraid to let yourself go and try new things without fear. Life is too short for all that!

3. Don't stop exploring.

Explore new things and find new interests. Keep yourself busy and find new passions every day.

4. Give lots of cuddles.

I mean, who doesn't like or need a good cuddle?

5. It's okay to cry when you're upset.

Sometimes, it's the best way to express your emotions. Everyone just needs a good cry to let it out every once in a while.

6. Ask for help when you need it.

Don't be stubborn or prideful. If you need help, just ask. You'll never learn how if you don't ask for help.

7. Let your imagination run wild.

Never lose that creative mind you had when you were young. Bring these ideas to work, home, or wherever you need your imagination.

8. Play.

Take some time for yourself and just have fun!

9. Always speak what's on your mind.

Don't hold anything back. If you're happy, angry, in love, etc., express that!

10. Be judgement-free.

Do not judge anybody for their skin color, the way they dress, how they act, or for any other reason. You don't know what's going on in that person's life. Remember, you're not perfect either.

I hope you learn something new from a small human today, I know I did!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
