To The Person Who Doesn't Feel Very Strong

You are always stronger than you think.

To The Person Who Doesn't Feel Very Strong
Julia Araneo

In a very cruel world you eventually come to learn that you are much stronger than you originally thought. There is no doubt that life can cause you to feel broken, but look at you now. Through all the "I'll never get over this" or "I'd rather die" moments you still made it to this point. Surprising? Not really, because you are always stronger than you think.

Sometimes we forget that time stops for no one. As much as we believe we can't overcome a variety of situations we always seem to, right? Looking back we often believe we are incapable of such emotional and physical progress, but by making it to today proves we are so much more capable then we think.

It's always greener on the other side and thankfully we all get to experience that. Sometimes overcoming obstacles takes longer then you think, but its always possible. There will be points where your grass seems dead and impossible to bring back to life, but somehow you always manage. So don't forget this enormous strength within you while you struggle through life at your weakest times.

You never truly know how strong you are, until being strong is the only option you have. So for those of you stuck in the slumps remember there's always a rainbow after rain. The hardest times in our lives teach us valuable lessons and make us much stronger.

The sun will come out tomorrow and you will be okay. Don't ever forget, you are stronger than you think.

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
