Move On and Move Up: A Happy Life

Moving On and Moving Up

Life is full of meeting different people, seeing different places and experiencing different things. It is a mixture of continuums and endings; however, the important thing to remember is that everything in life happens for a reason.

Some people are placed in your life in order to help us learn a lesson, to bring us to a certain place, or to give us certain experiences. They may not always be the best or most positive, but they provide a value within your life nonetheless.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that regardless of the people you’ve lost or the places you’ve left, that loss is sometimes for the best.

If you feel constricted by a certain person or place, you are under no obligation to keep them in your life or continue to reside there. You are obligated to put yourself first and to do what makes you happy. You only have one life - don’t waste it being unhappy.

Look at it as a cleanse, a fresh start. Take the opportunity to move on and move up. You do not deserve an individual who cannot appreciate you, someone who hurts you -mentally or physically- or someone who cannot recognize how they mistreat you. You do not deserve a place that makes you feel trapped, lost or without a purpose.

You deserve individuals who raise you up, bring out your best self and hold your best interests at heart. You deserve a place that feels like home, that makes you feel safe and that fills your heart with comfort.

Life is short, do not waste it on moments or people or places that do not fulfill you. There are plenty of individuals and places that you have yet to meet/see - so explore them. Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you smile the brightest. Do what makes you you.

Move on from the things that hurt you. Move on from the people who make you feel like a lesser. Move on from the places that make you feel hopeless.

Move up.

Get rid of the negativity so you have room to fill it with happiness and love.

And make sure you’re giving others the same love and respect you expect them to give you.

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.
