20 Things I Learned in 2015

or continue to remember in 2015 …

1. It’s never too late to do the things you missed out on the first time around.
2. Accept people for who they are, and if you can’t, then perhaps change your perspective. No one is boring.
3. If you’re still angry, it’s too soon to talk.
4. Life is too short. Say you’re sorry, say how you feel, show your love before it’s too late.
5. There is always room for improvement.
6. People will always tell you their opinion; what matters is what you do with it.
7. Relationships will fail and it will hurt but you will learn from it.
8. Not everyone deserves a second chance.
9. No one is your competition. Cheering others on is way more fun than tearing them down.
10. It’s okay to put yourself first.
11. You can’t force friendships. If one is meant to be, no distance or time apart changes anything.
12. Your parents are people too. As you get older, they too are getting older.
13. Breaking up with negative friends is hard but ultimately freeing. Only surround yourself with people who allow you to be you and help you grow to be a better version of yourself.
14. Take chances and if it goes wrong, at least you know you tried.
15. De-stress, relax, and unplug.
16. Traveling is always worth it but if a flight is super duper cheap, it’s up to no good. I’m looking at you, Spirit Airlines.
17. Collect memories, not things.
18. Giving without expectation will always uplift your mood as well as others.
19. It’s okay to not have plans during the weekends. Take time to relax and enjoy doing what you love instead.
20. You’re lucky to be alive and to have all that you have.
