In honor of my birthday I decided to write a little blog on what I have learned in my 24 years. Also yay for Leo's because we are the best.
1. Birthdays are important. Make sure to spend them with people who deserve you.
2. If you don't want to go to the party. Don't go. The truth is if you don't like parties, you won't have fun no matter how much your friends insist you will.
3. Do more of what YOU love. If you like watching Netflix watch Netflix. If you like going to the farmer's market to look at dogs. Go look at the dogs. The point is you shouldn't do anything because you feel like you have to.
4. Drink water. Period.
5. Wear sunscreen everyday. No ands, ifs or buts.
6. Timing is everything. You have to trust that everything will come when it is supposed to so while you are "waiting" just enjoy what you have in the moment.
7. I am a cat person. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs but I just have a special connection with cats. (Plus if you have ever gotten a kitten before you know how EASY they are to train.)
8. Not everyone you meet is meant to stay in your life forever. We meet people who are perfect for us at that moment. Life goes on and we change and we don't have to feel bad about whether we stay friends with the same people forever. Everyone is going through different paths in life and just because you don't have the same friends you did in high school doesn't mean you are a bad person.
9. It is always okay to say "no."
10. Listen to your mom and dad. They know what they are talking about.
11. When it comes to friends, quality over quantity is EVERYTHING. I have three people in my life who I consider my best friends. Real friends will inspire you, be there for you and let you complain about the dome lid that Starbucks gave you. (Dome lids should only be used for whip cream drinks, everything else is unacceptable.)
12. Don't take yourself too seriously. Joking is good.
13. Don't get too piercing happy. Even though it is not permanent, it actually kind of is.
14. Do not touch your eyebrows! Also, don't let anyone else touch them either. Once you get your perfect eyebrow shape leave them alone. Don't overpluck or under pluck! The less you touch them the happier you and they well be!
15. It's not your business to know what people think about you.
16. I really don't like eating fish.
17. Going to the movies is an experience and a right we have as humans! Treat yourself!
18. Take care of yourself! You can't help anyone if you can't help yourself first!
19. Manicures are very important. And they are very necessary.
20. Listen to what people have to say. Not everyone is going to think just like you but you can hear what they have to say. It will help open your mind to new ideas.
21. Night time snacks are good. I know lots of people say they aren't but how is a handful of goldfish going to kill you?
22. “Never take advice from someone you wouldn’t trade places with.” –Kelly Clarkson
23. My family are my favorite people and I am so blessed to have them.
24. Believe in yourself.
24. Believe in yourself.
