23 Things I Learned In 23 Years

All the valuable things I learned in the 23 years of my existence

1. I can be a toxic person too and I need to work on improving myself.
2. Being passive aggressive is quite an immature way to handle any situation that is bothersome to you.
3. There are people who actually love me and care for me. I am not unloved.
4. It is okay to outgrow old friendships.
5. Your parents mean well but they don’t really know what’s best for you. Only you can know that for yourself.
6. You will always be disliked by someone and that is okay. Stop your people pleasing tendencies and only seek approval from yourself.
7. Some societal norms we’ve been conditioned and brainwashed into believing are such bullshit.
8. You can be anyone you want to be. I don’t have to be simply defined by my religion or culture. I am so much more than that.
9. There are deep rooted psychological reasons behind my Procrastination habits. It’s not me simply being “lazy.”
10. The world is huge and I shouldn’t limit myself to the people near me. I need to get out there and meet people of all religions, ethnicity, and cultures. How amazing of an experience would that be? There would be so much to learn.
11. The people you meet online can be some of the best people you meet. Don’t shy away from connecting with people from all across the globe, you don’t know the kind of gems you could meet.
12. Boundaries are the key to self love. Setting Boundaries with people changed my life.
13. Take risks even if it goes against the norm.
14. I am not incapable of achieving whatever I want to achieve.
15. It’s so important to see things from all perspectives rather than just your own.
16. The Law of Attraction gives me hope and courage to tread forward.
17. God always listens. When you ask for a sign, he gives you a sign.
18. You receive red flags about a person very early on after meeting them. Take note of them now or regret it later.
19. I will never entertain a guy who is not clear of his intentions with me. Never ever. I deserve to be with someone who openly tells me he wants me.
20. I want to be with the man of my dreams and I am not going to settle. We have this one life, it needs to be spent with the person who truly loves you and isn’t into you because of superficial reasons. I just crave for a pure soul connection.
21. The journey of self love is a struggle, but one that is very necessary in order for me to evolve in life.
22. Independence and freedom matters more to me than anything else in life. I can never compromise on that. I am a free spirit by nature.
23. Start re-framing your negative thoughts. It saves you a lot of mental stress.
