I grew a year older and wiser this month. Here’s a list of things I’ve learned in the last year –
- I am fully capable of living on my own… in the heart of downtown… alone… \m/
- One can sleep after watching a horror movie because… (see the next point)
- Sleep is the most important thing ever.
- Earplugs work just fine for the early morning trash trucks.
- Some things are just not meant to work out.
- People change.
- People leave.
- Some people leave for a reason. The reason stays even after they’ve left.
- Work is life but life is not work – however you want to put it.
- Mental illness is real.
- Medical bills are huge. Be fit. Stay fit.
- ‘Me’ time is a real thing. You need ‘Me’ time.
- French fries are an acceptable lunch option.
- It is absolutely fine to fall asleep while at movies.
- It is okay not to party on a Friday. You can be a homebody if you want to.
- It is not okay to be indecisive. Decisions are important.
- Let go and move on.
- Forgive and forget. Don’t get back in touch though.
- If you think you have “problems” in life may be read a newspaper or watch the news for 5 mins. Follow the theory of relativity. Your problems are the uber first world problems most people would die to have. There would be at least a million people on the face of this earth who would be more than happy to live your life.
- Family is the real deal.
- Travel makes you wiser. Travel as much as possible. #wontEatWillTravel
- Milky way is beautiful. Try star-gazing as much as possible.
- Netflix is chocolate cake and amazon prime video is the icing on it.
- Live life with no regrets.
- Past is in the past for a reason. Never turn back. You are not going there.
- Some people do not understand the concept of ‘olive branch’ and it is not your responsibility to you to teach them.
- Your mood should never be dependent on the people around you. Stay calm. Stay foolish.
