Lessons I have learned in life.

• Things don’t always go as planned. 
• All of those, “bessssst friendssssss forever...” probably won’t be your best friends forever. 
• Just make sure to never let go of those friends who would answer your call at 2AM no matter what they are doing, those people are hard to come by. 
• Sometimes people make mistakes, don’t give up on everyone because they may say or do the wrong thing…everyone is human- even your parents. 
• Hear people out. 
• You can never overuse I love you, and people aren't good at the guessing game- tell them.
• Just because you do the right things in life... doesn’t always mean life will do the right things for you. 
• Time doesn’t slow down for anyone, take advantage of every opportunity. 
• When things go wrong...remember, that doesn't mean your whole life is going wrong. 
• This too shall pass. 
• Usually toxic people don’t start off in your life as toxic people, be aware. 
• If you are the only one putting in the effort, its time to let go. 
• Sometimes people say forever, and they don't stay forever. 
• If a guy only wants to see you at night- he isn't the one for you. 
• And if your friends don't like your boy, he is also not the one for you.
• There will probably be someone in your life you will feel you let slip away.
• Just eat the damn ice cream or pizza at midnight, seriously... do it. 
• Go out of your way to be nice, it will make you feel better. 
• Holding onto anger causes more harm than good. 
• Never doubt yourself. 
• Sing in the car, sing in the shower, sing wherever the hell you want... no matter how bad you think your voice sounds.
• More times than not, your gut is right. 
• Don't give up a dream... seriously, no matter how out of reach you may think it is- fight for it every damn day. 
• Sometimes, no matter how justified you are, you cannot win- that's okay. 
• You can't control what people do, you can however, control how you react. 
• Sometimes people just suck. 
• Make sure to surround yourself with people who make you laugh. 
• You know... those boisterous, uncontrollable fits of laughter... its like medicine for your soul.
• Sometimes, you are wrong, and sometimes, sorry won't fix it... 
• Just make sure to say sorry when its appropriate. 
• Go on an adventure, even if its something as simple as hiking through your backyard. 
• Ask for help, it doesn't make you weak. 
• "You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world.. and there is still going to be someone who hates peaches..." stop trying to please everybody. 
• Screw anyone who doubts you. 
• Stop expecting people to cut you slack, and stop expecting someone to save you. 
• Do you remember that embarrassing moment from two years ago? Yeah, neither does anyone else- don't dwell on shit. 
• The many small things in life add up to be much larger than the few big things.
