You have a special gift to offer the world and others around you, whether you see it or not.

There's no feeling in the world like not feeling happy with yourself. For whatever reason that may be, I'm here to tell you you're doing an amazing job. Whether you have no one really on your side rooting for you, or whether you lost the person who was your biggest supporter, or for any other reason, you're still here and your life matters.


I want to remind ever lost soul, even you the person reading this, that you're enough. You have influences in your life you have no idea about.You are in this world for a reason and in your lifetime you have a contribution to make. No matter how big or small that may be, you will make a change. Whether it be to one person, or thousands. You are amazing and I know you want to give up sometimes and I know you don't feel like you're going to impact anyone. That's the Devil talking, I'm here to remind you, your impact is needed in this world. You have a special gift to offer the world and others around you, whether you see it or not.

You may have had a really rough upbringing, or an amazing upbringing, that doesn't define how a person feels. Even the riches of folks get sad. Your actions define you and define the impact you make in this life. Whether you come from a trailer park, or come from a 3-story mansion, your actions in the end will define you. You're going to change the world, whether it be the world for one person or a 100 or 10,000. Don't let your potential go wasted. Be the person you need in your life. Be the person who learned, grew and became a better person from your situation. Don't let the potential you have in this life wasted because ONE person told you that you couldn't do it. Until you give up, you're still trying and that's just plain awesome. You haven't given up, you're proving your "haters" wrong and you're going to be successful.

Like with this article, if I've reached out to one person, I've accomplished something. I'm here for a reason, just like you. My reason is to remind people of the blessings they currently have in their life, compared to all the negativity surrounding them. Focus on the light, on the good, and the good Lord will see you through your troubles and help you overcome any battle you're facing. Whether it be small or big, he will deliver.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
