Some advice that I always receive has always reminded me that moving on from situations that no longer serve you, benefit you or make you happy are not worth your time. For those that are soon going to be entering their twenties — listen up, this is especially for you.

As we hit this age, a constant worry if we're doing the right thing is a weight on our shoulders nearly 24/7. Some thing that I do want to remind you is that not everyone's success is achieved throughout the same journey. I might go through hell and back while ending up where I intend to be, meanwhile the next person has everything and anything given to them. That's just the way life is. With this, comes the tendency to cling on to old relationships just because apparently "you're too old to take interest into other people" or settling for the person you're with now is what you were brought up to do. With jobs are the same thing. Do not feel like you have to stay at a job for the simple fact that it pays well and has great benefits. If you're miserable there and dread getting ready every morning — it is a clear sign that that occupation is not for you. You're not happy, move on.

I want to see you step outside of your comfort zone. Moving on from old jobs, relationships, friends and etc. is not a bad thing. Prosperity is something that I would like to see more become comfortable with actually. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is something that takes time with — yes, but rarely results in failure. Try to go above all means necessary with the next goal that you intend for yourself. If this one didn't work out, there's no need to need to get frustrated and give up right then and there. New opportunities will then be flourished in your life and you will meet new people with more inspiring stories.

On the other hand we have the old saying "if you wanted it bad enough, you'd have it by now" — and I disagree with this. I want you to keep in mind that your and everyone else's scenario is different, and there is nothing wrong with starting from nothing. I think that makes your success even more beautiful. Like I've said before — everyone's journey is different; and I'm pretty sure you've caught on by now that life is not necessarily fair. Think about how you will look back at all you have done and how proud you will become. Introduce yourself to patience and you see how well your attitude on certain things change.

Work hard and stay focused. Everything is in divine order.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
