23 things I’ve learned & quotes I “live” by etc

FIrst of all, HOW AM I ALREADY 23?! WHEN DID I GET HERE?

In my twenty-three years of living I have gathered a few nuggets and I thought to share them with you. So here they are.

1. I have always been a people pleaser- yeah no don’t be! The only person you really need to please or make proud is yourself. Once you realize that you will be much more content.

2. I have more patience than most and it’s a strength and weakness.

3. Most important: God is what will keep you. Trust him.

4. Wear want you want yeah, but if your not confident in it there’s no point.

5. Hard work is worth it-no seriously sam it is...have to keep telling myself that one. It's rewarding and soooooo worth it. KEEP PUSHING!!!!!!

6. Self-care is ALWAYS necessary so make time for it -LOVE YOURSELF BOO!

7. Drink water always. I seriously use to hate it like I’d nevvvver drink it. If you hate it try infusing it with fruits that's what helped me now I prefer water over anything most days. EXCEPT COFFEE ALWAYS COFFEE.

8. Listen without waiting to respond. Your relationships will thank you.

9. All patterns can go together.

10. Fix your face your getting that wrinkle mom has! (right in between the brows)

11. Journaling is a wonderful outlet and somehow keeps me really on track ————here’s some cliché ones but still true.

12. Try it all, take risks!!!!

13. GREAT things NEVER came from COMFORT ZONES!

14. Be thankful for everything, take nothing for granted.

15. You are seriously your only limit.

16. Save for those rainy days. Save. Just save in general.

17. Forgive, let go, holding on makes you ugly.

18. You don’t have to raise your voice to be heard.

19. If you want it BUY IT TREAT YOSELF! I have a habit of putting things back alllll the time and regret soooo hard.

20. Raise yourself by raising others. Your competition is you. - a flower doesn't look around to compare it just blooms. be a flower.

21. If you start something ACTUALLY STICK TO IT SAM especially if you love it (I could kick myself) little add on to this- if you have any talents USE them, don't be a waste.

22. Small circles are muuuuuch better - trust me most people learn this after high school. its better to learn it much sooner. saves you hurt and a lot of unnecessary drama those who are meant to be in your life will be don’t cry over those who aren’t. They were just stopping by in your journey of life.

23. something i learned becoming a mom. even if you're going nowhere fix yourself up a little. it will make you happy. especially if it's been consecutive days.

Well that’s my 23 things at 23. I’m so thankful for another year. So thankful for everything.

Would love to read your feedback or your little nuggets you’ve got.

Sam.
