23 Lessons I Learned In My 23rd Year of Life

Hey Love Fans,

My birthday is tomorrow! As much as I love my actual birthday, every year on September 6th I reflect on the past year of my current age. Today is the last day I will ever be able to say I am 23 ever again. I want to savor that. I wanted to share with you all 23 things I have learned and observed this past year. Enjoy 🙂

Love,

Miss J

1. I’d be rich-ish if I didn’t have bills.

 6. I am truly a unique individual. Growing up you always hear that there’s no one like you, the revelation that this is true has been both rewarding and at times lonely.

 7.   God is awesome! He’s got my back and he ALWAYS answers my prayers. Major Shout out to God!

8.  Happiness is a choice and it’s a choice I have to make every day. There is no such thing as a naturally happy person. People who are happy, try to be happy.

trust

15.  I am not responsible for how others feel about me. Might as well just be myself.

 16. Love goes a loooooooonnnng way.

17.  My savings account should be used as an actual savings and budgets are a necessary evil.

18.  I will always feel better when you take care of myself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If any one of these things are off, I am off too.

health

 19.  It’s okay to see a therapist. Sometimes life happens and you need to talk about it with an unbiased and completely uninvolved party.
