My journey to 25 has been an intricate, insightful, yet beautiful one. Before it becomes official at midnight, I'd like to share a few tidbits that I've learned along the way.
25.) Relationships Aren't Bandages- When you operate out of a place of desperation you latch onto people who drop feed you what you need: love, validation, appreciation, affection. It is imperative to learn how to become that source for yourself so you won't tie yourself to those who aren't meant for you because they are the only source you are getting those things from.
24.) Stop Being Easily Impressed- The bare minimum is not luxury. Stop selling yourself short. It's unfortunate if you continue to because you're worth more than you'll ever know. Those who treat you with respect, are consistent and tell you the truth should be appreciated but not put on a pedestal for doing what they are supposed to do. When you put people on a pedestal, you begin to overlook things that shouldn't be ignored.
