Advice: Take Time to Enjoy Those Around You

Dear "Life as a Teenager" Viewers, 

Happy Friday! Make sure you take time for yourself this weekend and rest your teenage minds. 

Today I am here to talk to you about enjoying the time with those around you who are important. Yesterday, was my bestfriends senior night for her soccer team. WE both attend different highschools so its hard for us to make time to see one another due to a number of reasons. However, a week ago she texted me asking me to be there for her on her last night playing the sport she loves. WIthout hesitation I made sure I could be there no matter what. So, I told my boss the situation and they gave me the day off. That night I showed up to her game and sat in the stands with her family, whom I know very well considering we have been bestfriends since pre-school. I got to watch my best friend play her game with all she got. During half time the families walked their senior students out onto the field and I will kid you not I got so emotional. I started to cry right there in the stands because I could not belive that my best friend and I were graduating this year and have come so far. At the end of the game she ran up to me as soon as she saw me and gave me the biggest hug and started to cry into me. Now, for some bestfirends this might be normal, but for us we never hug each other. So, I knew she needed me that night and was foeevr grateful I showed up. 

What I am trying to tell you guys is that sometimes we get so busy we get lost in what is important in life. Try to take your time to spend time with those who are important to you. Even if it might seem like a small thing, it truly could mean the entire world to the other person. Never take the time we have on earth for granted because we truly don't know how long we have it for. 

Until next time, 

Viola Black
