Why Everyone Should Experience The Love Of A Pet

I believe that everyone should get the chance to own, take care of, and ultimately love a pet that loves them back because pets are an important part of life. Whether you own a tiny fish or a larger-than-life horse, pets teach responsibility, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Most stick to cats and dogs, but no matter what pet you choose, the bond is unbreakable, and it is an experience that cannot be replaced.

They are loyal.

People come and go, but your pet will always stick by you. They don’t care if you make mistakes or if you're in a bad mood, they’ll be there waiting to greet you when you get home every day.

They listen to all your problems.

Pets are great listeners. You can tell them anything and they’ll keep it a secret. Sometimes, they might even bark or meow back!

They are great stress relievers.

Petting a cat or dog can actually lower your blood pressure, making you less stressed! Plus, it feels great on the pet's end, so it's a win-win for everyone.

They are downright adorable.

Look at that face. You can't say no to that face!

They love to show their affection.

Cats and dogs won't hold back from purring or panting when they're happy. When they're having a good time, you'll know it!

They won't judge you.

Pets don't care what you look like, their only concern is if there's food in their bowl or they've taken enough naps.

They are lifelong friends.

If you're lucky, you'll get to grow up with your pet and see them turn into adults as they do the same for you. You wouldn't be who you are today without them.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
