22 things I’ve learned by 22
Don’t let someone’s opinion matter unless you want it to.
Call you family and friends often. For no reason. Family is everything (if you want them to be). Hug your mom more. Call your dad to ask how his day was. Go on a trip with your siblings. Visit your grandparents. Make an effort. We are young but forget that as we age, so do they.
Use sunscreen on your face and neck, daily.
Not everyone has your best interest at heart, stop sharing everything with everyone.
The word is a cruel cruel place. Emotionally, financially and morally.. unless you can change it today, don’t lose sleep over it.
You quite literally can not fix someone. No matter what. Unless someone wants to change for themselves they will not, you alone will never be enough to do so.
We are so young. It’s not to late to start over. On anything.
Figure out your $$. Set a budget be realistic to an extent and save for your future.
Stop investing into meme crypto coins, cheap trends, marketing scams etc. If it’s hit social media you are already too late. You will not get rich quick lol be smart with your $$.
Travel often, and for cheap. Travel does not have to be a luxury, it should be an experience that you do often as a young human with so little life lived.
Eat when you are hungry and what you want.
Learn to be okay with endings. Jobs, relationships, trips, lives. Things end. Humans are not stagnate beings.
Your hometown is not the worst place on the planet. It’s okay to not want to live there again, but always remember your roots, how you grew up and the bliss of childhood.
Your inner child is the root of a lot of your issues. Unless you address 12 year old you it’s very difficult to comprehend 22 year old you.
Trends are stupid. Wear whatever the fuck you want. No one actually cares.
With that being said, being basic is also completely okay. There’s a reason everyone loves iced coffee and long walks on a sunday.
Sexuality is complicated for a lot of people. You don’t owe anyone including yourself a solid answer unless you want to.
Asking for help and delegating is not a sign of weakness.
Nothing is too saturated. If you want to start a youtube channel, record a postcast, write a book, start a business… do it. Community comes with authenticity.
Your partner should make you feel light and loved. No matter what your person should lift you, always.
Your interests, hobbies and passions will change. It doesn’t make you a indecisive, lazy person. It makes you human. Explore everything, try it all.
Be kind to yourself. Mind body and soul. If you aren’t giving yourself the nourishment, mental stability and movement you need.. your body will fire back at you.
