In honor of my eighteenth birthday (woo-hoo!), I thought that I would share a short post with some things that I have learned over the years:
18. Life will never be familiar. Every morning you will awake to a new
world, a new day. No matter what the day holds, put a smile on your
face and LIVE IT UP. Live for the person you want to be.
Thanks for tuning into an abnormal blog post. Feel free to leave lessons you've learned in the comments.

- There is no way to please everyone, every time. Live for you.
- Every trend will soon fade away, leaving you with a plethora of scrunchies, Crocs, and High School Musical T-shirts. Live for the future.
- At the end of every hard day comes the promise of a bright tomorrow. Live for dawn.
- Your true friends and family will never leave you, no matter what happens in your lowest times. Live for them.
- There will always be people who will try to run over you. What makes them successful is if you let them win. Live for the victory.
- Someone is watching you 24/7. So smile, stand tall, and lead. Live for that person.
- Do not stress. You cannot possible control everything, and your future is already written. Live for God's promise.
- If you cannot stand up for yourself, you cannot stand for anyone else. Live for your own confidence.
- Write down your wildest dream. Look at it everyday, and never stop reaching for it. Live for that wish.
- Even on your toughest days, YOU ARE BLESSED. Live for God's love.
- You have to experience many of those said tough days to be able to realize your best days. Live for the bright tomorrow.
- Laugh. Cry. Laugh until you cry. Live for life's simplest pleasures.
- If you do not stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Live for truth.
- There will always be times when you want to give up on the next deadline, or even life. Don't. Live for the finish line.
- Do not let society put a value on your life. Pursue your own dreams, live your own life. Live for God's opinion.
- Sometimes a cupcake is exactly what you need. Sometimes, it is exactly what your neighbor or classmate needs as well. Live for dessert.
- You are stronger than any battle, any foe, because God and his army of angels are behind you. Live for peace.
