lessons at 29

some lessons i’ve learned over the years:

• There’s always a Door #3. It’s not one, or the other. There’s always a third choice.

• You don’t have to be good at it for it to be a hobby.

• You can change your mind. You don’t have to keep going down one path just because you’ve put all your effort or thought into it. You can also change who you are, what you believe, what you think, what you feel. You can change.

• You don’t have to be a morning person.

• Listen to your body. Feel it.

• Always find something to laugh about. And if you can’t, laugh anyway.

• Solitude and isolation feels comfortable, but you musn’t stay for long.

• Say how you feel. How you really really feel.

• Even when you don’t know, you know.

• It’s the coolest thing ever to be a woman.

• Admire others, but don’t compare.

• Everyone is smarter than you think. They don’t have to be your type of smart to be smart.

• Change up your routine. You never know what’s around the corner. And change comes with a catalyst.
