Be a happier person.

We all have a nosy bone in our body somewhere. It's alright you can admit it. But there's a fine line between wanting to know things and going out of your way to find out things. There's a fine line between listening to someone speak and listening but then going to tell everyone you know. There's also a fine line between things that just have nothing to do with you.

It's important to find that fine line people.

Let's be real, we're all adults (scary, I know) and we shouldn't be spreading rumors. Nor should we be unable to keep secrets. Yes, I know some people struggle with keeping their mouths shut, and struggle with keeping secrets bottled up. There's a simple solution, and it may sound harsh. But.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

You'll avoid ruining a friendship by spreading their business around, and you'll for sure learn to keep things to yourself if you want anyone to tell you anything every again.

Now, not everyone sucks at keeping secrets. Some people are great at it actually. However, some people have the downfall of wanting to put their nose where it doesn't belong, and then sometimes they try to chime their two cents where it isn't wanted. Once again, here I go.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

Not everyone is open to opinions. And I can guarantee you, many people don't like being told what to do with their lives. Some people forget the golden rule of treat others the way you want to be treated. Would you want someone who constantly asks for your gossip and nothing else? Probs not.

All in all, minding your own business makes you a happier person if you really think about it. You don't have to worry about problems that aren't yours. You don't have to worry about anyone saying you're spreading rumors. Really, it'll make you a happier person if you keep to yourself.

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

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!
