To Whoever This May Concern

Be the reason for change.

To Whoever This May Concern

The world needs you. Someone somewhere needs you. Quit living your life in a lie. Quit caring what others think. Quit thinking you aren't good enough. Quit overthinking. Quit anything negative in your life. You are still here for a reason. But you must go out and find that reason. You are loved. You are cared about. You are needed. You are enough. The world can be cruel but don't be the one who makes it worse. Go out and make a change. Make the most of your life. Fulfill your dreams. Don't let fears overtake you. No fear is so a fear to big to overcome. Share your stories. Shoot your shots, even if you miss. A mistake made is a memory lost or regretted. Don't be afraid of who you are. Don't be afraid of pain. Quit living in the past. There is so much ahead in the future that you'll miss if you don't take the risk. You might have a few downfalls, but you will always have a major come up if you leave the past behind you. You win some and you lose some because perfection only exists in God. Stop beating yourself up over everything that doesn't work in your favor. Cry, get yourself back on track, and move on. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in great ways." Never believe anyone who downs you, they are only scared of the great things you can do. Live the life you want. Be the person you want. Strive for greatness. Love yourself. Be truthful to yourself. In the end, you can say you lived a life of greatness but only if you make it that way. You choose what you want to do, so choose wisely.

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?

2976
Happy Birthday Cake

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.
