20 Lessons in 20 Years

20 Lessons in 20 Years
Hello and happy Sunday. It is a extra special Sunday because it's my birthday! Some people don't like their birthdays, but I have always loved it. It's never been so much about what I'm doing or where we might be going, I just love the chance for everyone I love to get together and give me presents. 
I'm kidding. 
Mostly.
No, but really, I love my birthday. Most years I just have dinner with my friends and family and we see a movie and I love spending that time with people I love. 

This year, I turn 20 years old. I am no longer a teenager, but not quite an adult. It is a weird stage in life, this emerging adulthood (shoutout to the development psych class I just finished), but I really look forward to getting more into it. There is so much possibility. 

For this week's post, I thought I would do another list: 20 things I have learned in 20 years. Because obviously I am old and wise now. 

  1. Love yourself. Even when it is hard.
  2. Eat the dessert. 
  3. Sometimes it is better not to get hung up on the little details. Learn to let go.
  4. Sing loudly (and terribly) whenever possible. 
  5. Say I love you.
  6. Smell the rain. 
  7. Always make time for what makes you happy and something that could make others happy too.
  8. Shit can happen.
  9. Spend more time with those you love. Remember the laughs, the smiles, the love and the little moments.
  10. Your feelings are not a burden to someone else. 
  11. Don't let someone else's hate make you feel bad about what you love. Love whatever makes you happy, even if it makes you a nerd. 
  12. Some people have hatred in their hearts, and sometimes there is nothing to do about that.
  13. Don't let the muggles get you down.
  14. Do things that are good for you. Eat well, do yoga, remember not to stress (at least not too much).
  15. Real friends will always be there for you.
  16. Care for others, but don't forget about yourself sometimes. You are just as important.
  17. Laugh at everything (especially yourself).
  18. You don't have to be perfect. 
  19. Accept the compliment.
  20. Let yourself live.

 And now for birthday cake. (actually it's a brownie but I like this gif)
