TAKING STOCK: 19 BEFORE 19

It always amazes me how little I've changed in the past 10 years. Inspired by both Postcards from Rachel and Being Little, I thought I'd share what little wisdom I've picked up in the last 19 years.

#01 - If you don't ask, you don't get
#02 - Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same (yes, The Fray lyrics)
#03 - Remove everything negative from your life
#04 - It's okay to be selfish sometimes
#05 - Confidence is key
#06 - Nothing worth having comes easy
#07 - You must forgive yourself when you make mistakes
#08 - Never get tabasco in your eye
#09 - Look for the good in everybody (but don't let this make you vulnerable)
#10 - A friend that makes you feel bad about yourself is not a friend
#11 - Overthinking will always make things worse
#12 - Don't let anybody dictate to you what you should like - you do you 
#13 - Not everything is black and white; not everything is quite that simple
#14 - Look after yourself and take a break every once in a while
#15 - Hope for the best, but expect the worst
#16 - Drink milk with spicy food - not water
#17 - Don't get drunk the night before your birthday, as you'll spend your birthday hungover in bed
#18 - Everybody needs a bit of tough love in their life
#19 - The people that are there for you day in and day out are the people that you can't risk losing

  1. Also, worry is a total waste of time. It doesn't change anything. All it does is steal your joy.
    Like #19 the best
