Tomorrow is my 24th birthday. Too be honest, I don't care too much for celebrating or receiving any attention for my birthday. But rather I am excited for being another year older. I am hoping that I learn as much, if not more than I did when I was 23. 23 was an interesting year.
Here are some lessons I learned in my 23rd year:
1.Acknowledge your emotions when they arise. If you are experiencing: anger, BE ANGRY sadness,BE SAD, and so on. Deal with your current emotions, and then move on when it passes. I finally allowed myself to deal with my emotions as they came, and it has made all the difference. I feel a lot more emotionally stable now.
2.Don't let your insecurities get the best of you. It won't do you or anyone else any good. It's better to just accept yourself as you are, and people can take it or leave it. You are unique and a one of kind, why try to change that? We are all individuals, what a beautiful gift.
3. Be responsible for your own life. At 23, don't expect anyone to take pity for you. At 23 you're an adult and should be able to handle basic life responsibilities. * I am still working on this one.
4. The present moment is the only thing we're guaranteed so ENJOY it!
5. Life is only as complicated as you make it!
6. Balance is key.
7. You're never too old to be silly!
I can happily say I am ending 23 in contentment. That within itself is an accomplishment, I believe. So here is to 24. May it be a year of more personal growth, many adventures, excellent health, and new found relationships!
Here is a quote to provoke some thought:
"The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself."
