life lessons

After a long and overwhelming week... here are a few little life lessons I've learned:

. find a moment when you need it the most and just stand still, not doing anything, not thinking, just be still and breathe
. take the time to call a friend or a relative, it will mean the world to them
. hold someone's hand, it always will make you feel loved
. find out what you truly believe in and figure out what it really means to you in your life
. don't judge someone else for what faith they have, you don't know what's going on in their life
. when you love someone, tell them
. hug someone and tell them thank you for all they do
. smile when no one is looking
. wrap yourself in blankets, it will always make you feel better
. watch the rain fall
. sleep in as late as you want
. go above and beyond on what ever you are supposed to do, it will all pay off in the end
. always be on time
. watch a favorite movie or play your favorite song
. if you get the chance to travel, go for it
. when you are alone, always remember that it's a time to cleanse your soul and find out about yourself
. go home every once in a while, even if you hate it, it means the world to your parents
. be able to stand on your own, don't rely on other people to make you grow up, take responsibility for yourself
. if you are overwhelmed, cry, get upset, and then move on and do what you are supposed to do
. don't worry about what people are going to think, if you truly believe you are making the right decision, those closest to you will support you
. create someplace that represents your dreams and believe that you will go there (Paris!)
. take time and write down your thoughts from time to time
. tell some one when you are upset
. find someone that you can tell anything to
. have a balance of friends and love them for different things
. buy something you really want
. work the hardest you can, it will all pay off and you will be better for it
. but don't let work control you're entire life, keep the important things special
. don't worry about when marriage will happen, or when your life will be planned out, let life happen and just live
. don't regret things you've done or feel bad about them, they are what made you who you are and how you got to where you're at
. waking up next to someone you love is the best feeling in the entire world
. find someone you can laugh with, someone you can talk to, someone that you share a bond with, and keep them forever
. love is about falling in love over and over again, and when you can look at that person two years later and still feel a rush when you're with them, that's true love
. tell people you are thankful for them
. always tell the truth
. but sometimes a little white lie is okay
. we all feel lost sometimes, but finding your way back often creates a stronger more dedicated person
. dream and dream and dream and keep dreaming
. learn another language
. live in another country
. smile at someone you see on the street, it might just make their day
. get lost in someone's stare
. have a few too many drinks, so what if you get a little giggly?
. look out the window and smile, because what could be more beautiful than this moment right now?
