Things I Learned at 24

Hello! It has been so long since I last wrote in our blog and I felt kinda guilty because I took more time fixing my personal blog than this one. I have finally decided to let go of my own blog and focus on "US" more. Geez! I am turning 25 tomorrow and I can't believe that time flew by just like that.

Okay, so the past year has been difficult for me (personally, socially, emotionally, and physically). I don't need to go into details with that but, I have learned a lot the past year and I would love to share them all with you.

1. Be good to people, even when they have wronged you.

My husband's cousin shared this with me. She shared to me how she was bullied when she was younger and how horrible and traumatic that experience was to her. She promised herself that she would not want anyone to feel the way she did and that is why she will always choose to be good and kind to people.

Because we are humans, we have the innate urge to always get even. Come to think of it, getting even doesn't make us a better person nor does it make us feel better about ourselves. Its easier said than done but, always choosing to forgive will allow us to move forward and be better.

2. Don't be hard on yourself.

Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from it. Don't bring yourself down just because you're having a hard time accepting the fact that we all make mistakes. No one is exempted. Be patient with yourself. Grow with life. Take one step at a time.

3. Live life to the fullest.

I always worry sooooo much about the future that I forget the present. Then, I would notice that days and months have already passed by. Suddenly, I would realized that I have missed opportunities. Its sad when you think about it but, LESSON LEARNED!!! Live today as much as you would live for the future.

Happy last day of being 24th today Pateet!!!
