I Started Loving Life And It Loved Me Right Back

If you let life show you how great it can be, it can prove to you just how great you can be

I Started Loving Life And It Loved Me Right Back
Krystyn Flynn

I think most people can agree that life might be the most valuable thing we encounter on a daily basis. Not only our own life, but also the lives of the people surrounding us. Often times we forget to appreciate how great and valuable this life really is. We get caught up in superficial things that shouldn't matter nearly as much as we seem to make them matter. But if we sit back and let life run its own route, we quickly see how truly great this life can be.

Take the opportunities and chances that life throws at you, and don't be afraid to mess up when you take those chances.

Be grateful for the privileges that you're given and grow from them.

Be happy with what you have, don't get caught up in what you lack. Rather, be thankful and grateful for the things that you're blessed with.

Strive to be a good person so that other people in your life can be impacted by you.

Love life. I know it's easier said than done, but once we love life, life begins to love us right back. When we take the time to appreciate what surrounds us, it appreciates us in return. Being happy feels good. Being in love feels good. And if you let life show you how great it can be, life will prove to you just how great you can be.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
