18 THINGS

18 THINGS:

1. I am utterly in love with the sun. With the way it illuminates the sky into exciting colors of bright orange, soft yellow, deep red, gentle blush, and on occasion, vivid violet.
2. Change is part of life. Embrace it. Learn to run with it. 
3. Missing someone is....*sigh* 
4. The amount of Trolli Eggs I have consumed this year is truly inspiring.
5. Spend time with your family. One day you will all grow up and won't see each other everyday anymore. Value every moment with them. Even during family game night and your mom catches you cheating. 
6. Blood by the Middle East will always be one of my favorite songs.
7. This is your life. Not anyone else's. It's completely up to you what you want to accomplish. The possibilities are endless. Hard work will always pay off. 
8. Listen.
9. Step away from technology . BE with the people who are around you, really BE there. You never know what you miss when you're always looking down. So put the phone down and LOOK UP.
10. The stars are one of God's most beautiful creations. 
11. Do not wait till tomorrow to say, "I love you", and do not wait till tomorrow to actually mean it. 
12. Pain is something everyone must experience in order to have a sweet and humble appreciation of happiness. Patience persists pain.
13. Days turn into months and months turn into years. Don't let life pass you by. 
14. No matter what, always always alway be kind. Regardless of what has happened previous, treat everyone with courtesy and kindness. It will make you a better person and those around you will be lifted up. 
15. "Let loose, dance all night, sing off-key, don't be shy. Now is the time for us to let go."
16. WHY NOT?! Just go for it!! Don't wait another day, DO IT NOW!
17. I have gained the most splendid testimony of prayer. Heavenly Father is truly so wonderful. He loves His children more than we can comprehend. If you do no yet understand His love for you, kneel in prayer, and you will begin to feel His love. Little by little you will realize your own potential and testimony.
18. Learn to become vulnerable. Be completely free. It is a liberating feeling to be honest with yourself and others. Fear stops progression. Do not be afraid to be fabulous, talented, gorgeous, funny, intelligent, loving, forgiving, or "powerful beyond measure". Rise to become a spectacular you.

I'm 18 years old now and hope to

 continue to live life one precious day at a time.

 Yup yup yup. Cool beans.
