Why You Should Never Lose Your Flame
Razaberrys

You should never lose the passion that drives you to do something you love. You should never believe that your dreams are not good enough to achieve.

Everyone has a singular flame burning inside of them. It is the determination you hold and the motivation you have to achieve your hopes and dreams.

You should never lose your flame.

The flame that inspires you to keep moving forward day by day. Week by week. Month by month. Even year by year. To allow you to become that much closer to your end result. It becomes all the more sweeter when you get that much closer to it as time goes on. It will be worth the wait. It will be worth the effort. It will be worth the sweat, the tears, the pain, and everything else in between that it took you to get to that achievement. No matter what you go through in the process, your flame should never go out. There may be days where your flame is so bright that you feel unstoppable, but there will always be days where your flame will dwindle down to almost nothing. It's very easy to let a flame die down, but it takes love and perseverance to allow that flame to keep going no matter what. Once the flame goes out, it can be lit again, but it won't stay lit for long. It will only stay if you put everything you have into keeping it bright.

Your dream is to own your own restaurant one day? You better start planning that menu out now because you're going to have your restaurant. Your dream is to have children with the love of your life? Better start thinking of names because you will have children. Your dream is to visit another country? Better get your passport ready because you're going to visit another country.

No matter what you want in life, you always need to stay motivated to reach your goals. Once that flame is gone, life starts to lose its purpose. If someone doesn't have something that they are aiming towards... what's the point? Everyone wants something to some extent. Whether it be large or small, everyone has something they want to be able to have in life.

Everyone deserves the chance to make their dream a reality. Everyone deserves the life that they want. Everyone deserves to allow their flame to never die because you should never lose your flame. No matter what.

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.
