My Life Lessons
Ok so I have definitely screwed up a lot over the course of my life, but from all those screw ups I learned a thing or two. So I decided to record them below, ya know to prevent future mistakes and bad choices. Although, I doubt this will stop me.
1. So first, I have definitely learned to BE MYSELF. My worst fear has always been being to average, or fitting in. And yes, maybe I took that too close to heart and made sure everything I did was different. I still look back at middle school and cringe at my overly eccentricpersonality. But I don't regret it. From trying so hard to stand out I realized that i don't need to do anything or act anyway to be special. That is also kind of where my favorite quote came from, "You are you, and that is your superpower". So accept yourself completely and let the crazy side of you show (for the record, my regular personality is already super eccentric. so you can just imagine my middle school personality).
2. Next, I learned to adjust my attitude. I have really become quite the optimist over the past year. I recognize what I am grateful for and turn the bad to good. I recommend an episode of 90210 or Gossip Girl for a reality check on how good your life really is. But if I am being completely honest, I do still get in bad moods. But I just wait them out, and realize that it is not the end of the world. And all things considered i am pretty damn lucky. And you know the saying, "beauty exists in the mind which contemplates them".
3. So number three on the list, I have decided to trust in the universe. I used to get so riled up about all the small things about life and myself that i couldn't control. So I have decided to not stress about the unknown. This is another favorite quote of mine "let go and let god". I now don't get upset about things that have happened "to me". I accept that everything has happened for a reason. I was always trying to "fix myself", but whatever I was searching for, I really didn't need.
4. Last but not least, I have learned to be selfish. Ok, yes i know that sounds horrible. But I have decided to do what is good for me and really commit to myself. Like Selena Gomez says, "Love yourself first". Its honestly all about how you work it, mindset is EVERYTHING. If you feel pretty, you will be pretty.
5. Ok I know I said four would be the last one but i have one more thing to say. You are beautiful on the inside and out, and you are doing awesome at life. Everything will work out the way it is supposed too., so don't stress.
