Living.
Everyone says live life to the fullest, you never know when today could be your last. While I do agree with that statement I feel more strongly that you should live your life. Just live your life. Do what you want or what you have to do. Don't waste your life. Every moment you spend should be doing something to get you somewhere or with someone you love or doing something that you love. Sometimes I feel like I have already lived so much of my life it scares me. But I know I'm doing everything I can to have happiness in my life and that is really all that matters to me.
Love.
Most people see love as something special, something to be reserved in relationships for 'the right time' I agree that love is something very special but it isn't something to be held back. Love is not scary. I knew in kindergarten, the first day I met my best friend Kim that I loved her as a person. She was awkward and shy but we were 5, who isn't?! At five years old I loved her because she was nice and fun! In middle school she had a boyfriend or 2 and we didn't hang out as much but I knew that I could always count on her and whenever we were together it was like we'd never been apart. In high school she was the friend that I could have a conversation with and we didn't even have to speak. We just knew. Now in college we swap stories and look back on all of the stuff we have been through together. We both still remember the first day we met. Kim is the person outside of my family that I have loved the longest and I know this is what has kept us friends for 15 years (We're old hahaha). I love you Bo!
My family has also been a big influence on this I believe. Every time we talk on the phone "I love you" is said before we hang up. Even my 3 year old niece will get on the phone and say it when I talk to my sister. I wouldn't say we throw it around loosely. We just say it a lot. Love is so important in a persons life. It is the driving force for many. You cannot live without it.
Laugh.
I have laughed so hard my stomach hurt for days. Laughing will make you forget all of the things that may be wrong in the moment because all you can do is laugh. Tickling is unfair. Sometimes it is entirely necessary, but still unfair. Laughing is part of life. Part that makes it enjoyable, memorable, and unique. Not everyone will laugh for 20 minutes because Gianna can't walk and drink at the same time. But Megan and I sure can. Not everyone would laugh when Jessica calls this my bunny jacket, but we sure will! That's part of the specialness in friendships and in life. Laughing so hard that you cry. Laughing at other people laughing. I truly believe that laughing is part of life and without it how can you love your life?
Live, Love, and Laugh together make up what essential pieces of life. You can't live without loving or laughing. Well I guess you could, but it wouldn't be truly living.
I am so lucky. I have amazing friends and family who give me so much even if the don;t really know it!
this is for all of you: I LOVE YOU!!
