21 Things I Realised Before I Turned 22

Today is my birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! I've always been a huge fan of celebrating people's birthdays (especially mine) because I think it's a huge deal to start a new year. So, it would be like celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all in one day.
This year has been different from others because it was full of life changing experiences, so to celebrate that I'm officially 22, I want to share with you 21 things I learned this year:


1. Real friends never leave you behind.
2. You know someone truly loves you when they see the worst of you and still want to see you the next day.
3. A cup of coffee per day is a good habit.
4. Sleeping is better when you've been busy all day.
5. Having a morning motivation makes your days better.
6. Finding a passion makes life way more enjoyable.
7. Napping is the most wonderful thing to do.
8. If you care about someone, making time to see them is easy.
9. Looking younger is not THAT bad.
10. It's very important to make time for yourself.
11. It's ok to put yourself before others once in a while.
12. Making a living doing what you love is not impossible if you really put an effort.
13. It's ok to worry about your future, but it's ok too not to worry about it.
14. Always enjoy every moment of your life because there's a big chance you won't have them again.
15. Take chances. Always take chances. You'll never know what happens if you don't.
16. It's better to have two close friends than 500 kind-sorta friends.
17. Surround yourself with people who make you want to better instead of the ones who make you worse.
18. Don't compare yourself to others. You are you and that's what matters.
19. Always hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.
20. Never forget to remind people you love them and thank them for what they've done for you.
21. Smile and protect your happiness. Don't give up on things who make you happy.
