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.
2. I am open to more things than I thought I am open to. Cool.
3. Life keeps trucking along, whether you are on board or not so I should probably just stay on board.
4. People are going to do whatever they want to do.
5. I am capable of getting a better job.
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.
9. What’s meant to be will be when it is supposed to be and not a second sooner. What’s not meant to be won’t be, ever.
10. I should probably respond to text messages and missed calls within 24 hours…probably.
11. I am young and I know a lot of things, but I don’t know everything and I am totally okay with that.
12. There’s a huge difference between being self-ish and self concerned.
13. If I count my blessings I get really excited about everything I have and focus less on what I don’t have.
14. Supporting someone doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing with them. It means catching them if they fall without saying “I told you so” and being there no matter what.
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.
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.
20. I have an addiction to reading.
21. It’s okay to change.
22. Justin aka Mr. J is THE BEST partner in crime.
23. Self acceptance and self love is the best gift I could ever give myself.
