At 18 years old, I've been through a good deal. I've had a good life so far, and I've done and seen a lot of cool things. As I've gotten older, I've realized how important it is to cherish the things we have here on Earth every single day, so here are just 18 of the things that I am blessed with in my life.
1. Things that smell nice.
I could spend the rest of my life in Bath & Body Works or the essential oil aisle of Whole Foods.
2. My friends.
Every day is a new adventure when you have good people to spend it with.
3. My dogs, and animals in general.
I could spend all day every day with animals, they're all so unique and interesting.
4. Really good breakfast food.
Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. So many options, right? You could go savory, you could go sweet, potatoes, fruit, bacon, etc. Everything is a breakfast food.
5. Chocolate.
I don't care how it comes. In a cake, in a cookie, in ice cream, in candy, or just a whole chocolate bar. I could eat chocolate all day.
6. The beach.
Something about the crashing waves makes anyone feel at peace.
7. Funny looking animals.
Have you ever seen a red-lipped batfish? Go. Google it.
8. Comfortable beds.
Especially after a long day.
9. Getting a nice manicure.
A quality mani is key to feeling good about yourself.
10. Cute boys.
Well, duh.
11. Good music.
Any genre, any tune, I can turn up.
12. Travel.
Seeing the world is just about the coolest thing ever.
13. Super tall trees.
Still can't believe redwoods exist.
14. Volcanoes.
Because those things are insane. Have you ever seen one?
15. The moon.
And, y'know, the tides and astrology and stuff.
16. Fancy makeup.
Do I need another $40 makeup palette? No. Am I going to buy it anyway? Absolutely.
17. Cars.
Who doesn't love a nice car?
18. My family.
Of course, where would I be without them?
