IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY;

Woo!! You made it, another year older and wiser! How does it feel? Any different? Hmm, probably not just yet, right? What was your favorite present so far? Was it those stinky socks from your brother, you know because he thinks he's FUNNY. Just roll your eyes and say thank you. How about that crazy knitted sweater from your grandmother, also the source of your body rash from your last birthday. Or did she get you candles this year? Maybe she's not the only one loosing her marbles!! How about that present from Mommy? Did she rock it out of the park this year? Concert tickets? That VERY cute dress you were staring at in the store window? Whatever the presents this year, say your thank you's and be appreciative. So, I have to ask, what are the plans for tonight? Hmm? Any celebration with that special one? Any plans with your closest friends? A pleasant/peaceful bath calling your name? Tomorrow, you'll wake up and feel so refreshed, whether it's a Monday morning or an end to a great week/day, the fact that you made it another year, is a great thing.

IT'S YOUR WEDDING DAY;

Finally tying the knot I SEE, congratulations!!! Although I am too young to be thinking of marriage, I know some stuff about it (-;
I know it's a very special sacrament, and it's a beautiful thing. What are the theme colors? Where are you getting married? Outside? Ooh, that's risky, but B E A U T I F U L with the river or beach in the background, whatever or wherever, I pray for good weather!! Is it inside? In a church (always a great idea!) What food is planned? A menu? All fancy foods and clever appetizers? Any treats besides the cake, always a blessing seeing cookies or candy at the tables, definitely a good idea. SORRY, I'm not a wedding planner, I JUST LOVE weddings & I've been to many!!! Feel free to write down these tips/ suggestions.
Anyways, I hope whenever you say your vows, your significant other cries, because he/she is marrying their one true love and that's a PRETTY HAPPY THING. And you deserve happiness so you should be crying too, love is life's gift! You're sharing your life with someone and if you ask me, that's special and something to rejoice, be happy and don't stress too hard! Dance your heart out and kiss that gorgeous somebody happily!

It's the day of your first job! Work your heart out and don't give up when it gets hard! You can do it, no matter how many times you or someone else tells you, that you can't. Believe in yourself and work your way up till where you want to be. Don't loose yourself in the process and don't drop the people that were there with you from the start; but this is your shot and your chance to make a mark in this world, get on out there!!!

It's THE day of your first day of school! Don't sweat it, walk in with a deep breath and smile to everyone. Forget old grudges, and make new friends, it's never too late. Join clubs and help out in your community. Join a sport and stand up for some quiet people. Make this year count, and embrace yourself. Work hard and have fun, school only lasts so long, embrace it while you still can.

It's the day of summer, the first to be exact! WOO FINALLY!!! Let go of all your worries and have an amazing time on your break. Don't forget about any summer readings or projects, trust me, I would totally get it done and over with, with no worries the rest of the summer. If you notice anyone that you like the looks of, introduce yourself. Take risks and make no regrets. Ride that rollercoaster you've always been afraid of, take a breather and jump into that cold pool. Spray some sunscreen and run into the beach waves, chase those seagulls, watch that whole season on Netflix, whatever it is, do it and be happy. Don't hide for the summer, don't take a break from life, don't forget everything you're working for. It's a break, but it shouldn't be an excuse. LIVE YOUR LIFE, and ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!

It's your day to shine, always is, every-single-day. Make everyday count, and live in the now. It's all you got, is now. The future is an uncertainty. It's questionable. Whatever day it is on the calendar, it's THE day, because we might not get tomorrow. That doesn't mean today HAS to be exciting in any way, but today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow. I hope this all makes sense and you can take something from it. I was a little silly in the paragraphs above, but seriously, live each day like it's your last. One day, you might not wake up, and yesterday would've been your last. You're given each day, what are you doing with them?
