25 Things for when I turned 25.
Relationships can wait.
You’ll know when someone likes you. You won’t be left wondering.
Honesty is better than politeness.
There are no absolutely no downsides to being kind.
Prioritize you. Choose you. Trust you.
You’re a reflection of your friends so choose wisely.
Surround yourself with people who believe in you. It is likely you’ll start believing in you too.
Happiness, success, progress are all empty terms. You are the only one who should be defining what they mean.
It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.
You can and will always survive almost anything, so stop letting fear drive you so much.
Healing is a game of habit. The pain softens when you develop new habits to replace the old ones.
Find mentors. They will take you a long way.
Parents are complicated and imperfect, so don’t put them on a pedestal.
The people you work under will define your career success. They’re everything.
Liking someone is very different from loving them. Have more people you like around you.
Independence is more standing up for yourself than doing things by yourself.
Enjoying spending time with yourself is the ultimate flex. Practice it more.
Your opinion is the one that matters most because nobody knows you better than you.
There is no such thing as a soulmate.
A great relationship is when you can be your most authentic self and are loved for it.
In the end, love is effort.
Humility and empathy are the sexiest traits on a person.
You need to find you beautiful. Everyone else is optional.
Sex is even better when you proudly own your sexuality. So, own it.
Nobody knows what they’re doing. Take comfort in that and do your very best.
