Shit I've Learned In 24 Years.

Oh gosh.. did I say 24?! Maybe I'll save that for if I ever create a "Shit that can't be real" list. 

Happy 24th Birth-iversary to your's truly. So, here's a list of some shit.

1. Whoever your family is, those are your forever people,
2. Stop overthinking things, life is actually pretty simple.
3. ALWAYS remember to laugh at yourself, there are lots of little things in life that are just incredibly silly.
4. A shift is just a shift. A day is just 24 hours. 
5. It's true what they say, high school never ends.. like, for realsies.
6. Work drama only exists to create relationships between coworkers, and to make the day less boring. Don't read into it to much.
7. When climbing down a steep hill, and given a rope to help, use it. (No Trung, I'm not going to let it go.)
8. The game isn't to live the longest, it's to live on your own terms as much as possible.
9.  New Years resolutions are just positive thinking.
10. Everyone has their own message. It doesn't make you better to top everyone else's, it makes you better the more you accept, and learn from everyone else's perspectives.
11.  If you think you’ve found “the one”, don’t make big decisions until you’ve traveled together. (or done an escape room together.) You need to see how they handle stress. 
12. Respect the elderly, one day that is going to be you. 
13. If your bank has an app, download it.
14. Don't ever let yourself be less than, or equal to, who you were as a teenager.
15. You can be a people pleaser, but it will never be worth it if you don't please yourself first.
16. Take your time. If you rush things, you miss out on the thrill of the small details in your journey.
17. If you ever go Skydiving, they will show you a video where they tell you, multiple times, to "Watch your head going into the plane." Remember that, and do it. Trust me.
18. Give credit where its deserved.
19. Don't settle. It's boring, and a waste of your potential... and life.
20. Peer pressure is just an excuse.
21. Trusting your instincts, and just being afraid, are two different things. Know the difference.
22. No one cares as much as you think they do.
23.  Life is scary. Also, the sun is hot, and one day we will all die. You can't control everything, so react decently when things don't go exactly your way.
24. Most of what you’ll regret, are the things you chose not to do. 

Alright, that's all for now.. oh, don't forget to wear your seat belt!

Love, your mighty mouse.
