Though I’m far from an expert when it comes to learning and life, I have learned a few things over the past twenty-one years. What did you learn by the time you reached this milestone?
Below are a couple of things I discovered over the years:
- It’s okay to say no to things.
- However, it can also be a good idea to say yes to things from time to time.
- Don’t bother trying to please everyone.
- Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about yourself or your choices.
- Do what makes you happy.
- Sometimes you’ll make mistakes.
- Things won’t always turn out the way you think they would, for better or worse.
- Sometimes you’ll have a hard time knowing if you’re making the right decisions.
- It’s okay to get help for your mental health.
- It’s perfectly fine to be a mess sometimes.
- You should learn how to put yourself first.
- Don’t let fears and insecurities hold you back from your own ambitions.
- Do not put Mac ‘n Cheese in the microwave longer than the recommended time.
- You almost always have a bit of tea left over in the mug you forgot about.
- You won’t be in contact with people you thought would be life-long friends.
- Stop judging people.
- Sometimes you just need leave the house and get some fresh air.
- Take breaks from the mindless Facebook scrolling.
- Exercising, believe it or not, really is good for you.
- So are fruits and vegetables.
- There is still so much more to learn.

This is a phenomenal list! I’m 26 now and I’m still working on some of these (especially the mac and cheese bit :P)

Mac and Cheese is trickier to make than people think it is!

Sometimes I think we need the reminder that we don’t need to be perfect all the time. x

I love this post! I am twenty-one as well, and I can relate to almost all of these. Especially the last one. There is always room to grow. I used to think it was annoying, and I hated change. Now I embrace it.

I’m definitely not a fan of change. It’s something I’m still working on, but I think it’s important to stick with it!

This is so cool! I feel like this would be neat to do every few years on your birthday just to reflect on your growth!

I often visit your website and have noticed that you don’t update it often. More frequent updates will
give your site higher authority & rank in google. I know that writing posts
takes a lot of time, but you can always help yourself with miftolo’s tools which will shorten the time of creating an article to a few seconds.
