23 THINGS I'VE LEARNED

I turned 23 this year (2018) and previously I had put up a video of myself giving you 23 things I had learned. But honestly, those 23 things were still a part of me being sad and upset with all the shit that life had decided to throw at me. So, I decided to update this post and give you guys 23 NEW things I have learned from the past year that have helped ME grow as a person. If I can make any of you feel better with any of these 23 lessons to myself, that just makes me feel overjoyed. So without me "yapping" your ears off, here are the 23 things that helped me become who I am today.

1. Your past DOES define you. It's a part of the lesson we call life and helps to shape you into the person you WANT to become.

2. There is no greater power, than love. Love defies all, but love also denies all.

3. No story has a perfect ending, but it has the right ending.

4. Life is a shit show; that's why it's so entertaining.

5. Make mistakes. Make a shit ton of 'em. And then learn why they were mistakes.

6. Confidence in yourself is so incredibly attractive.

7. Don't fight for the things that weren't meant to be yours.

8. Your greatest allies are the ones that put you down the hardest but also pull you up when you need it.

9. Have fun and don't sweat the small stuff.

10. It's okay if you're uncertain - even Steve Jobs was uncertain.

11. Your mindset is the strongest asset you'll ever have.

12. What's meant to be yours, will come back to you. And if it wasn't, then screw it.

13. Quality > Quantity

14. The little adventures matter too.

15. Don't compare yourself to people you know nothing about.

16. Be the person you would want your children to be proud of.

17. No one can fill your void except for yourself.

18. Relationships and friendships are a two way street filled with traffic jams and bad accident but if you're both careful, can be a soothing ride along the Pacific.

19. Never apologies for being yourself, never hide yourself from being who you are.

20. Cherish every little moment like it's your last.

21. Do what you need to do for yourself, not anybody else.

22. Time does not heal all wounds, but it sure makes it a lot harder to remember.

23. Everything will fall into place when you least expect it. So stop expecting.
