22 THINGS I'VE LEARNED AT 22!
12/1/18
Hi guys! I turned 22 today and I decided I wanted to do a post where I shared things about me and life lessons I've learned at 22. I wish I could just be 18 forever but there is no going back haha! I am going to be 23 next year?! THAT IS OLD!!! I think I will experience a lot of changes in my 22nd year of life so I want to document some of the things I feel like I have learned at this age and compare them to next year!
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
- I have learned this more than anything this is year which is: I am NOT a people pleaser and I'm finally alright with that!! I think it’s important to be selfish sometimes. You can only help others if you are helping yourself first and I think I do a pretty good job of that. I constantly have people trying to take advantage of me or pressure me into things I don’t want to be doing and I just really don’t ever give those people the time of day. I take care of myself, my family, and my closest friends and that is all I need!
- I also have very thick skin! I think this is definitely something I have learned over the years. I have always done my own thing and not really cared what anyone thinks but this is soooo important. No one knows you or the intentions of your heart besides yourself and people closest to you!
- Quality over quantity when it comes to friends. You guys I have ONE friend!! Literally one friend who is my best friend! I can always depend on her and I know she would do anything for me! I do not need or want a million crappy friends around me!
- Cheese is life. I just had to say it.
- I LOVE to cook and bake!
- I love to take photos wherever I go.
- I can listen to the same song non-stop in loop for days and still enjoy it.
- If I don't talk to you in a while, that doesn't mean I'm pissed off at you, and neither that I don't care for you.
- You’ll never regret things you did (well some things maybe), but you will regret the things you didn’t do! There have been so many times when I was on some adventure and I was scared but didn’t want to regret not taking advantage of the opportunity that was right in front of me!
- I think I am always right, and I usually am.😉 Just ask my family.
- I hate liars.
- It’s okay to say no to things!
- Friends is the best show in the world. Not very important but just another one of those things I needed to say.
- It’s also okay to not text people back. This is a dumb one and something I used to think was so rude but with so many random people always asking me for things, I have made my peace with not replying!
- I take the 'R' and 'L' on my headphones pretty seriously.
- I try to always remember the quote “I remember the days when I prayed for the things I have now”. I am always trying to move ahead to the next step and plan for the future and that’s great sometimes but I have been trying to focus on enjoying where I am at in life and living in the moment!
- I'm a good listener but if I get excited about the topic then expect frequent interruption.
- I have also learned that I will probably always be late to everything. Not that late, only usually about 5-10 minutes, but I just can not get anywhere 10 minutes earlier that I always do.
- I love to meet new people from around the world and hear their stories! I am normally not a people person but this is something that makes me so happy!! People are awesome guys!! So many people from around the world have the most amazing stories.
- Iceberg is always a good idea. There's one close to where I live and try to go at least twice a month. I need my monthly chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard!!
- I love my mom more than anything in this whole world!! The older I get, the more I appreciate her!
- Being yourself is hard. Does anyone else feel like they just don’t know who they are sometimes?! It’s not always easy (actually very hard most days) but I am really proud of the person I have become over the last few years.
That’s all for now! I know some of these things are not life lessons, just random facts but coming up with 22 things is really hard haha!
Happy Saturday guys!
