After reading that I hope you feel a little bit more refreshed!! but anyways:

So my life has been pretty crazy lately, not so much with a ton of things to do but emotional. I am finally trying to piece myself back together and realize that there is always tomorrow and each day can only get better. I know that time will fix everything and everything that I am going through with my life is meant to happen but it is just getting to that point of being ok that is hard. Life will throw some crazy stuff at you but it is how you bounce back that matters. I realized that when I am down, sad, mad, pissed off or anything like that the people around me normally become mad, annoyed, pissed off, etc. and that is not how I want to leave my mark.

The other night was my sister's birthday and some friends and my sister and I went out to celebrate. At the end of the night literally every single person in that bar was coming up to my sister telling her happy 26th birthday and how oh so beautiful she was ;) but ok really we came into the bar knowing maybe like 10 of them and by the end of the night my sister had ended up talking to probably everyone in the bar just being outgoing, fun-loving, and getting to know people. Now she may not know it or the people who met her that night may not know it but she has left a mark on everyone in that bar. Those people will never forget her, may it be for her smile, her awesome dance moves, the 5 min conversation they had but those people who met her that night met someone outgoing, fun to be around, and a positive person. That's what I want. I want people to remember me for being someone positive, happy, outgoing and fun to be around.

Now it's your turn. Make a mark on someones life. Make on a mark on the world. May it be for a little smile, a quick hello, the love you share with someone, or the little jokes that made someone laugh. Make people remember you for how you want to be remembered.

Remember me for always being there, for turning an awkward situation into a dance party. Remember me for always wanting an adventure and for always going after my dreams. For being a hard-worker and dedicated to everything I do. Remember I will not forget you and I have goals and I will achieve them. Remember me for being funny, outgoing, and a positive person. I want people to remember me for who I am and never compare me to someone else. I am different, I am unique, I am original, and I won't be forgotten.
