I am 25 years old today (holy S&%&, I am 25!!) Why is 25 my scary age? Maybe because I haven’t accomplished what I wanted to. Now as I sit here thinking about it 25 is going to be a great year. SO here is a list of 5 things that I have learned in my 25 years;
1. Things you did as a small child will come back to haunt you. Like the fact that you ate sand or bugs etc, etc. People will bring it up more and more as you get older. It’s okay though because it is funny.
2. The things that seemed like the end of the world at 12 aren’t really that bad.
3. The good news is you WILL grow out of that awkward stage; the bad news is you may just grow into a new one.
4. You have to stop comparing yourself to others, it is depressing and pointless. It is only beneficial when you take what you see from those that you envy and put it into practice. If you aren’t going to put your big girl/big boy pants and do something to change your situation then you will stay in the same rut forever. (this is one I struggle with from time to time
5. Accept who you are. Accept your body. Don’t punish yourself for your flaws. We can all change our weight, clothing, appearance etc. etc. but there is nothing better then seeing someone who is truly confident in the person that they are inside and out. (Another one I struggle with)
In the next year I will work to attain the goals that I have set for myself while working on the acceptance or the woman I am becoming. I am going to make mistakes, do stupid things and get a little lost along the way. I look forward to being 25…. Its only good things from here.
