Happy Birthday self! Wooot! (Cue in Taylor Swift’s
“22”) Why does time really passed by so fast? I don’t want get old anymore!
Lol. If only, right? As they say, life goes on. We just need to make the most
out of it and take it as a roller coaster ride journey. And as a tradition here
on my blog, I always make sure to publish a birthday post. So here, I made a
list of all my life (and random) learnings over the years.
1. It’s okay to get
hurt – in all aspects. We all have feelings, anyway.
2. You will gain
friends, but you will lose some. You know what I mean J
3. Just because it
works for you doesn’t mean it will work for everyone. Deal
with our differences.
4. Not everything
planned will work out. Life’s not a game plan! Changes is everywhere.
5. Insecurities are
normal. You just have to see that we’re all unique in our own
ways.
6. But don’t
compare yourself to others. You have your own trademark. Take it as your
strength.
7. You can’t please
everyone. Whatever we do, people always have their say.
8. Be with positive
and supportive people. There’s no room for negative vibes!
9. Do what you
love. It’s fulfilling!
10. Don’t be too
impulsive! – specially on shopping!! You don’t have
to buy something trendy or just cute in stores, invest on pieces that you
really need and can be used for a long time.
11. SAVE.SAVE.SAVE. You
need that savings!
12. Indulge on your
favorite food. Carbs and sweets? Who doesn’t love that! But make
sure to keep track on a healthy lifestyle.
13. Smile more. It
can change your mood.
14. Take that ootd
and post on Instagram. Show them your inner fashionista!
15. Don’t let social
media take your life. Go offline for a while and you’ll see the real life.
16. Listen to your
favorite music. Feel the vibe/ moment – it can brighten up your day.
17. Less is more.
Being minimalist makes your life easier.
18. Learn the art of
letting go. Fix your closet and sell those things that you will
not use anymore – you’ll make money out of it as well.
19. Miracles do
happen. You just have to believe.
20. Don’t take life
too seriously. You’ll experience both happiness and sadness.
21. You deserve the
best!
22. Growing up is
part of your life. As you get older, you’ll realize what matters the
most and you’ll be more determined to pursue what you really want.
