I am only 21 years old and have a lot left to learn about the world and how things work, but I feel I have gained some wisdom through experiences gone through in my life. I have gained wisdom about relationships - whether it be family relationships, friendships, or romantic relationships. Through each connection to another human being, I have grown mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Ultimately, I have discovered much about myself. There are a lot of things I wish I would have known back then that would have changed the outcome of some situations, but I am grateful for the learning experiences. I don't think I would be the person I am today if I didn't make those choices or mistakes. I have mostly learned what not to do, but nontheless, I have learned. I will share some wisdom I have obtained over my 21 years of life on this earth:
Tell those you love that you do every day - you never know when will be the last time you'll see them.
Never go to bed angry.
Smile - people will want to be around you.
Spend more time thinking about what you have, not what you don't have - you'll be a more thankful person.
It's OKAY to let people help you - everyone needs help sometimes.
Forgive - even when you've been hurt deeply.
True love is worth waiting for - even if it takes years.
Never give your heart to someone before it has been healed - nobody wants just pieces.
You don't need a man (or woman) to make you happy and complete - all you need is God.
Your family is the only one you've got - cherish them.
Good friends are hard to find, but when you find them, they enrich your life.
God answeres prayers, sometimes instantaneously, but most things take time.
Do what makes YOU happy - don't always try and please every one else or you'll become a doormat.
Everything happens for a reason.
If you love someone, let them go. If it's meant to be, they'll come back to you.
Go at your own pace - you don't always need to kill yourself to keep up (except in school haha).
Work hard in everything you do - you'll be a valuable employee.
Put God first above all things - your life will become balanced and you will be truly happy.
Second chances come with every sunrise.
These are just SOME things I have learned..but they are important, so I wanted to share them :)
God Bless.
