And just like that, I’m officially a part of the 24s club… help! Man does time fly. Honestly, I still feel like I’m 19 years old. Though I still feel like a teenager, when I look back and see everything that I’ve experienced, I feel so blessed and thankful for the life I get to live and the people I get to live it with. It makes me so excited for what’s to come, but it also makes me realize how important it is to truly savor and enjoy every moment. So in honor of turning 24 I thought I’d share 24 things I’ve learned in my 24 years of life.
- If you need to choose, always pick dessert over a meal!
- Phone calls are SO much better than text messages… but nothing beats talking face to face.
- Going to a rock concert with your family is actually the best!
- Having your mom and dad as your best friends is the coolest.
- ALWAYS take the risk! You have absolutely nothing to lose.
- Don’t focus on having a “love life” focus on having a “fun life”
- Things will always work out in the end.
- Nothing is impossible! Ambition, consistency, and hard work will always bring opportunities your way.
- There’s nothing like “I love you” texts from your grandma.
- Greece is what dreams are made of.
- There is no timeline to beat… everyone has a different path and yours has been specially curated for you.
- There is nothing in this world that will ever be more important than family (or friends that feel like family).
- God is good, God is amazing, God is everything.
- Singing (more like screaming) at the top of my lungs to Aerosmith will ALWAYS make me feel like I’m on cloud 9.
- I am in no way perfect, I’ve got A LOT to work on, but I am enough, I am growing everyday, and I know what I deserve. And I won’t accept anything less.. and neither should you (:
- Family hugs are the sweetest.
- It takes the same amount of energy to worry as it does to be positive. Focus on the positive and good things will happen.
- If you don’t like how someone is treating you or others…speak up! You have a voice and that in itself is a super power.
- You can learn to love working out! It’s more important for mental health than physical appearance. Find some sort of movement that makes you feel good about yourself mentally and stick with that.
- The solution to most problems is a hot shower, a good cry, and a hug from a loved one.
- Spend your money on traveling! Travel. Travel. Travel. That’s one thing you’ll never regret.
- The love and support from my family has everything to do with any and every one of my successes.
- Life is literally happening right now. And even though it’s obvious… there is no way to turn back time. So make sure you are doing what you love with the people you love the most.
- Smiling is like magic and will always make you and others feel better… smile more.
