With today's current events that have arisen, many conflicts within our society, cold weather approaching, and the hardships we face dealing with work and/or school, it may seem impossible to remain sane and stress-free. We all go through periods of time in which we feel overwhelmed and exhausted with life, which can lead to increasing levels of depression and anxiety, and that's never good. However, I've discovered that with love and reliability on what we're passionate about, we can conquer these feelings of affliction.

Love is whatever makes you makes you feel full and content, and is what helps you make it through the day. It's always there for us to cheer us up on a rainy day, and no matter what goes wrong in life, it's always there to back you up. Without it, we feel empty. Whatever it is that we love, it's the thing that makes life exciting to live, and gives us fulfillment.

When most individuals think of love, they think of another person. This is the most powerful form of love, which generally consists of friends and family. However, this satisfaction and fulfillment we receive from love does not always have to be provided by just one single human being. Love can be radiated from almost anything; from a pretty day to sport. All forms of love are powerful, no matter where it comes from, and has the ability to shield us from days in which we are at our lowest.

Love is our fallback and biggest supporter; it's critical to find something that fills the heart. Whether it be yourself, food, your family, music, art, your best friend, clothes, technology, or anything else that helps you get through the day, appreciate its value more than anything and hold onto it for as long as you can.

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.
