Make Today The Day You Get Rid Of The Bad Things In Your Life

You have probably heard before that people feel like they are coming up for fresh air when they get rid of toxic things in their life. Well, they aren’t wrong.

It genuinely feels like you are catching your breath and you don’t have to struggle thinking about how hard the next breath will be. It feels like you are inhaling all the good things in your life and you are focusing on them for the better.

It can be really difficult to move on or let go of certain things. You don’t want to feel like you’re giving up on something that could possibly have potential into becoming something good. You feel like if you leave, you are leaving behind a possibility, an idea you have of something. So you decide to stay or to continue to put up with toxic things because of an idea.

Here’s my advice; let go. You will be 10 times better if you move on and begin to focus on yourself. Good things will come to you and you will prosper. Nothing good comes out of staying in a situation where you putting yourself down to build someone or something else up. Something that in the end will just destroy the person you are and the things you love.

There are times where the things you love most are the things that hurt you the most. If you find yourself constantly trying to make things work and nothing ever changes, let go. You are better off on your own, focusing on yourself, and finding good things in your life. Stop jeopardizing your happiness for the pain that things you can’t control may bring.

Rise above and make your happiness accessible. Come up for a breath of fresh air. It’s a new feeling every time and with time you will realize you were better off the whole time.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
