Lately I've been thinking about what I have learned with my age. Who I am now versus who I was in my early twenties is totally different. Life has been a roller coaster, it's had ups & downs. Each experience has taught me something making me who I am, here are 26 things I've learned:
1. Family is everything
2. It's ok to miss home & the "good ol' days"
3. Friends come & go
4. Don't compare yourself or your journey to others
5. Do what makes you happy
6. Surround yourself with people who lift you up
7. Cut out negative people
8. Try to let the little things go
9. If you didn't like the date don't go out again
10. Life experiences are more important than what is in your closet
11. Follow your heart
12. Know when it's time to move on
13. Going home after a night out is always a good idea
14. Don't drink too much or you'll pay for it the next day (you are not 21 anymore!)
15. Try new food
16. Exercise even if it's just walking more
17. A good cry always helps
18. Splurge on
Lush products & soak into a bath after a stressful day
19. Call your Mom or "your person" they will always make you feel better
20. Stand up for yourself
21. Don't discount your opinions or thoughts
22. Friends can be your soulmate
23. Don't settle, a guy won't solve your problems
24. Be proud of where you're from & what it taught you
25. It's ok to do things alone (I still struggle with this but I am getting better!)
26. Save money for your future
What are some things you've learned along the way? I would love to hear!
Xo,
