I try to remember to make what Ive learned in X around of time alive. I skipped a year ot two, but I remembered this year.
1 - Even if you do things from the deepest love, with the purest intentions, someone will hate your actions. Act from that love anyway.
2 - You aren't created to be understood; stop explaining yourself.
3 - There's nothing wrong with taking a break from a goal. Refill and then continue to kick that goals ass.
4 - Loss sometimes comes back to back to back. Take time to heal each loss; compounded grief is an intense monster.
5 - Anxiety and excitement can feel the same.
6 - Don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy. The only thing to expensive to loss is yourself.
7 - Go to the flea market, see the museum, and pet the dog.
8 - It may take 1000 tries to learn a lesson; life never stops giving you opportunities. It's about getting closer and better each time.
9 - progression not perfection (as seen in AA).
10 - Giving your all sometimes means being disappointed; thats okay.
11 - Privacy is power. What people dont know they can't try to destroy.
12 - No relationship is worth your peace. Cut off anyone you need to for as long as you need to.
13 - (more to my 20 year old self) So many people are gonna die. If you think you know a number and its less then 10 try again. You will remember them in their best times though. Always remember the best times, but dont let rose colored glasses take over.
14 - Some times endings are just a new beginning. Ending a relationship isnt necessarily the end of that relationship. It's just the start of a better collaboration.
15 - Therapist dont stay forever. They have their own life and goals. Get comfortable, but learn how to get that comfortable with the professionals so that you can stay okay.
16 - Sometimes starting a new career is the answer
17 - Dog grooming is amazing. Just dont lose your passion by over extending yourself.
18 - When you're new at something enjoy being new at something. Being an expert to fast misses crucial steps to actually becoming an expert.
19 - Never apologize for doing what you believe is the right choice as long as the right choice is from a place of logic and love.
20 - Dogs are so healing.
21 - Music from your childhood can boost your mood for the day.
22 - Dont be afraid to change a recipe. A personal touch was the difference between a cook book and grandma's recipe.
23 - You will be okay.
24 - Reaching out for help is hard, but it's the only way to change how things are sometimes.
25 - You dont have to love someone just because you are related in some way. Set boundaries and never apologize for them, but be willing to explain them.
26 - Giant breed dogs means giant messes while potty training.
27 - You are more capable when you do your work without other people's opinions. Save those until the end, then edit.
28 - Weight loss is tough, learn to love your body now, and do things to care for it.
29 - Friends arent easy to come by. Thats okay not everyone is meant to know your soul.
30 - You will make a difference if you are yourself for everyone.
