People Change.

It's true. People change. You change and I change. It's a part of getting older and it's a part of finding yourself.

Have you ever stopped and thought about who you were a year ago? And how that person is different than the person you are now. New experiences and life lessons create a new you.

Change can be created by many things sometimes it by what's happening in your life. Sometimes by your friends and other times just maturing.

Something that impacted my life in a huge way and that has changed me was becoming single. Single life is a lot different than being in a committed relationship. I find myself doing more of the things I love and thinking about myself more now than I have ever before. I've become more independent. I don't depend on anyone to do anything for me. I love myself more and I've become more confident in the person I am. And if I don't like something then I change it. This change is also impacted by maturity.

I've found that in the past year I've matured so much. And part of this has to do with moving out of my parents house. When I moved out I felt a sense of freedom and responsibility. Sometimes people are afraid of responsibility. But not me. I love being able to do things on my own and not rely on anyone to take care of me. I found a new sense of independence. I use to have to tell my mom whenever I went out and now I don't have to. I do what I want when I want. I make decisions on my own and don't need anyone's approval.

This life is mine and I'm going to live it how I want.

I know what I love and I'm going to go out of my way to do the things that I enjoy.

I care less about what people think. As I've changed I've cared less. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care that I'm not perfect. I have a greater sense of who I am and I strive to be myself and not have anyone influence that. I don't care when people try to put me down. Their opinion are not mine and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Life too short to worry about what other people think. What matters the most is how you view and how you think of yourself.

As I get older and as I mature and change, I see the world in a different way. The world is a beautiful place with beautiful people. There are endless adventure and places to see. Everyone has a story and every person is unique. Human connections are so special but connecting with yourself is important too. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet but I know who I want to be.

I want to be kind and spontaneous. I wanna have fun and be a little reckless but I also want to be respectful and compassionate. I want to live my life to the fullest.

Be open to change and be open to yourself. When you find and love yourself. It won't ever matter who you become.

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!
