things i learned as a 24 year old

 hello, everyone! if you're new here, this is the place that i always go to whenever i want to write about something that i like (notice a lot of posts about the movies and tv shows that i've watched) and when i want to just write down my thoughts that's been in my head too long. i've had this blog ever since i was in middle school, and i'm just now brave enough to share this with you guys. i hope after this, i can still think of this place as home.

since today is my birthday, i want to share with you all the things that i've learned in the past year, not as a form of bragging or anything, but just as a friend updating on what and where i have been mentally. without further ado, here are the things i've learned as a 24 year old:

1. that it's okay to be vulnerable, it's okay to open up about your anxiety and fear of (almost) everything to someone.

2. don't jump into conclusions, jumping into conclusions is the source of anxiety.

3. some people came into your life not to stay but just to "transit", and that's okay. let's just hope that we will help to take them to their next stop.

4. being in control of your future is hard when you've never been given the chance to make big decisions, but you gotta learn how to.

5. NEVER make fun of someone for the thing that they are passionate about.

6. run and cut off any sort of communications when you find yourself in a toxic situation, before it's too late.

7. it's okay to cry a lot, as long as you know why you're crying, don't listen to anyone who says that you're a crybaby, just cry if you feel like it.

8. backpains are PAINFUL and swimming is your saving grace.

9. it's true what people say, working out helps with your depression and any sort of mental health condition, just pick one sport to your liking.

10. go to therapy! really helps with changing your way of seeing life.

11. finding your personal style without following what's trending is very liberating.

12. sometimes to finish when the time is right is MUCH better than finishing quick.

13. that it's okay to think that maybe, in this life, romantic love is not for me, and it's okay because romantic love isn't the only type of love that exists.

14. but it's also okay, to be longing for love and to be loved, even if you've already made peace with the previous point.

15. true happiness come and go, allow yourself to be happy when it comes.

on that note, i'm going to end this post here. thank you so much for making the time to check out this post. again, you're very welcome to check out other posts, but as i mentioned earlier, i use this blog to write about the things that i like, so some cringes may find your way to you. thank you, and see you (or not, it's okay) on another post!
