Throughout your life you come across many different types of relationships. You can watch a father love their child and have that overwhelming feeling of warmness in your heart, maybe not as in depth of a mother, but something similar. You can experience heart break, multiple times, in a variety of ways. You can find friendships that last only momentarily or a lifetime. You meet extraordinary people and hear their unique stories.

Life is so full of experiences, unfortunately you look past the little things it has to offer. How many parts have you played in others lives? Have you ever been a care giver, lover, mother, father, or friend? Although not all those relationships last, you were still an important memory of their life. Often, they may come across your name and smirk with the thoughts of your memory running wild through their minds.

The impression you leave on someone's life is much more important than you may know. The moments you spend laughing along in the car, sitting up until the sunrise sharing stories, or just out adventuring the world are the moments that last forever. Take a step back, deeply examine the relationships you have had in your life, or currently having. How many different types of relationships have you had, what roles did you play in their lives, what roles did they play in yours? It is quite an extraordinary realization if you can think deeply enough.

With that being said, you are important. You have a profounding affect on each and every soul you come across and touch. The roles you play in others lives has an influence no matter if it is admirable or unfavorable. Imagine having a life time of those memories and feelings! Imagine this life with only memories of you, adventures not taken, and words unspoken. There are so many who would love to have those moments with you presently and in the future. Live your life to the greatest extent you are capable of. Leave that long-lasting imprint on another's life. Explore your mind, think deeply about the small, minor features that make up your life. You are here, wanted, and loved by so many. Keep holding on and never forget how important you truly are.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

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

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!
