How to use "Important" in context?
In order for anything to happen, there must be a certain level of importance assigned to it. Whether it's something as simple as a chore that needs to be done or something more important, it all comes down to how important the person or thing believes it to be. Here are five things that are, in my opinion, very important:
1. Relationships. No matter what people say, relationships are the most important things in life. Whether it's healthy or not, relationships are the building blocks of everything else.
2. Personal growth.
