22 Things I’ve Learned in 22 Years (Birthday Post, April 21st)


1️⃣life comes at you fast so it’s ok to take things slow sometimes. Don’t rush what already goes by so quickly. 
2️⃣enjoy the journey instead of being preoccupied about the destination 
3️⃣there is a lot that can be learned from others so never underestimate someone else’s potential to teach you something 
4️⃣you don’t always have to be social. Sometimes being alone is a good thing 
5️⃣time is of the essence and patience is a virtue 
6️⃣the best friendships are those that pick up just as they were left off- like there was never any time apart 
7️⃣it’s better to try and fail than to never try and not know 
8️⃣Most “problems” are non-existent. If it can be resolved by action, then it’s not a problem 9️⃣smiling makes everything better (though resting bitch face is comfortable so I’m not saying that won’t be happening😬) 
1️⃣0️⃣ONE thing isn’t EVERYthing 
1️⃣1️⃣do what makes you happy, not what will make other people think that you are happy 
1️⃣2️⃣it’s the small actions and decisions that make big changes 
1️⃣3️⃣the only person you have to prove something to is yourself. The only person you should compare yourself to is the person you want to be 
1️⃣4️⃣the universe doesn’t care if you’re unhappy and things won’t change just because you want them to... if you want change, then you gotta make moves 
1️⃣5️⃣don’t confuse thoughts/plans with actions. You may be thinking a lot about doing something and never actually take the necessary steps 
1️⃣6️⃣be positive and be kind- even when it’s hard (gotta work on these 🙃) 
1️⃣7️⃣be more afraid of not doing said thing, than afraid of doing it 
1️⃣8️⃣life truly does begin when you decide to be brave enough to leave your comfort zone 1️⃣9️⃣quality > quantity 
2️⃣0️⃣replace fear with excitement. Stop worrying about what could go wrong and be excited for what could go right 
2️⃣1️⃣don’t forget to remember why you started. Don’t complain about the decisions you made 2️⃣2️⃣be curious and be passionate. Ask a lot of questions and act on your intuition
