27.

Turned 27 this year and I took the day off to…sleep. As much as it’s really boring, I actually enjoyed it. I mean well, I truly love sleeping so it was really nice. If I had to sum up what I’ve learnt so far in life, these would be it:

1. You don’t need that many friends. Just a couple of good ones is all you need.
2. Burn bridges when necessary. Be it toxic family members or friends, you do what you need to keep your peace.
3. Never let your past define you. Just continuously build yourself to be a better person every single day.
4. Don’t put your happiness in the hands of others. You do what makes you happy. The perception of others’ doesnt matter; it’s your life, not theirs. Heck, be your own cheerleader.
5. Question everything. Nothing is set in stone unless you allow it to be.
6. Stop comparing. The only person you need to compete with the old you. The rest is just white noise.
7. Never let anyone invalidate your feelings. You’re allowed to feel things. Sadness, deppressive and even negative thoughts, they are normal. Accept that it is part of you and people who invalidate your feelings are better off out of your life.
8. Learn to say no. You don’t need to please everyone. It’s not your job to so stop draining yourself at the expense of keeping everyone happy.
9. Lastly, love yourself more. Always.

Wanted 10 points but I guess, 9 it shall be. Can’t be too perfect right? Hehe

Oh. 10. Be a slut. HAHAHAHA jk 🙂

Cheers to the rest of my life I suppose,

P.S I swear someone PMed me to convert to Christianity after this post. Wow I’m pastor material now? He probably thinks I’m a lost sheep and joining his faith will allow me to find my purpose. Aww how cute. Great news, I’m still a free-thinker; kindly refer to point 8.
