30 To Life.

I'm not big on rules, making them, following them, anything like that. But through everything I've come across in life, I'll admit I've made a list of things I've discovered that really do count. Most of this applies to girls since, low and behold, I am one. But I think everybody could take a little something away from this list.

1. Take too many pictures.
2. Surround yourself with people who make you smile.
3. Work hard, play harder.
4. Never be afraid to sing at the top of your lungs.
5. Try to get along with everyone, but only keep your best friends closest.
6. Act like a lady, no matter what.
7. Nothing makes you feel smaller than a good adventure.
8. Things could always be worse.
9. there's a song for everything.
10. Some people are going to think that their problems are always bigger than yours, it's not worth your time to argue. Just walk away.
11. Sometimes the only thing that makes you feel free is riding a horse up in the mountains.
12. Wal-Mart was invented simply to run around and be crazy when it's too cold and wet to be crazy outside.
13. Sometimes life sucks, but everything will be okay in the end.
14. There is nothing more adorable than a little kid who knows how to smile at the little things in life.
15. Don't let people tell you what to wear, how to act or who you are. But listen to the people that you trust and hear what they have to say.
16. It's healthy to just ditch everything and take the day off sometimes.
17. Don't give up on people, but don't hang out with people who only make you feel bad about yourself.
18. Nothing conquers a bad mood quite like a five mile run and loud rock music.
19. Never underestimate the power of a long talk with a good friend.
20. There is always a second chance.
21. Enjoy the little things, especially when the whole world feels like it's spinning out of control.
22. Don't be afraid to take a stand for what you believe.
23. Pray before you go to bed, clear your mind and remind yourself that God is looking out for you.
24. You can't heal that empty spot in your chest by yourself. Everybody needs a little help sometimes.
25. Always have faith.
26. Don't lie.
27. Chocolate is a band-aid.
28. When a puppy licks your face, just let him. It's adorable, you can wash your face later.
29. It's okay to leave the house without makeup, less people care than you think.
30.Courage isn't always the loudest choice. Sometimes courage is just that little voice that says "I will try again tomorrow."

Love,
Alice
