What we learned in 2018…

• Focus more on the quality of friends not the quantity.
• Never invest more time and energy into relationships. If you aren’t important to people, they shouldn’t be important to you.
• Sometimes it is necessary to remove toxic people from your lives and if they remove themselves from yours, even better.
• We are stronger than we think, and things do get better.
• If people are important to you show them, make time for them.
• Travel more and explore!
• Life is too short not to experience great things. Take chances and enjoy life.
• You are capable of more than you give yourself credit for.
• Make good choices and prepare for the future.
• Tell people you love them, all.the.time.
• Don’t take the ones your love for granted because you never know when they won’t be there anymore.
