I cannot believe that I turn 25 today. Over the years, I’ve had highs and lows- I’ve loved and also lost, I’ve had my heart broken (a few times), and most of all through all of these experiences, I’ve learned so much. Below are just a few of the many life lessons I learned in my lifetime.
- No rain, no flowers (without all the hardships, the best moments in life don’t feel as sweet)
- Don’t sweat the small stuff (Life is way too short to worry about every little thing)
- Love at first sight is real (I personally believe if there’s no spark within the first 3 minutes of meeting a guy, then he’s not the one for me)
- You are stronger than you think you are (it’s in worst moments of your life where you realize you can and you will get through whatever it is what you are going through)
- Jealousy is just insecurity in disguise (always keep that in mind when someone makes you feel small)
- Let go of toxic people (since life is so short, there’s no time to be around negative people)
- You can’t please everyone, so just be yourself (everyone else is already taken and God created you to share your talents to help everyone else)
- Never drop your standards for a guy (or anyone really!! Having standards is so important because without them, you are a pushover)
- Never take your health for granted (I’ve learned this the hard way and after many hardships with my health, every single day I am thankful to still be alive after what I’ve been through)
- In the darkest moments of your life is where you’ll learn who is really there for you
- My mom will always be my one true best friend (my mom and I have such a close relationship and without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today)
- Don’t be too hard on yourself (I always struggle because I sometimes strive too much for perfection)
Xo,
