Another year down, another birthday comes. If you’re reading this past midnight like me, it’s officially my 27th birthday. If it’s still the 19th in your time zone, I’m still technically 26. As I’ve mentioned more times than I’d like to admit, I’m not a big fan of my birthday. So, I haven’t made any major plans. Honestly, I think my birthday is cursed or something. I almost always have a bad day. So this year, I’m just going to chill in my pyjamas and do nothing all day which is honestly what I love doing anyway lol.
I mean, the curse has already began. I had the worst day today. First, I couldn’t sleep well and woke up on the wrong side of bed, burnt the pasta I was making, burnt my finger trying to salvage my pasta and for whatever reason one of my toes hurts. But you know what, it’s my birthday, I don’t want to concentrate on the bad stuff or whine for once. I want to focus on the positive things that happened over the last 365 days and some lessons I’ve picked up.
Lessons I’ve Learnt By My 27th Birthday
- No one cares. We spend so much time fixating on the negative aspects of ourselves (at least I do) and our flaws but the truth is no one really cares about them as much as we do. People probably can’t even see a lot of the flaws that bother us. So just live your best life and stop caring so much about being perfect. No one can ever be perfect anyway.
- Diet and lifestyle are important as an adult. When you’re young, you can eat whatever and do whatever and you’ll be fine. It’s not like that as an adult, you need to take care of yourself and your health.
- Self-care is not selfish. You need to take care of yourself too and don’t force yourself to work till you burnout. Take breaks, have spa days, get a massage. Basically, take care of your mental health.
- Boundaries are no fun but they are vital. If we don’t set strong boundaries we’ll get walked all over our whole lives.
- Focus on those that love you and completely let go of the haters. Push them out of your mind. And you’ll be so much happier.
Some Achievements I’m Proud Of
- I’m about to publish my first book- my biggest accomplishment so far!
- Starting two successful businesses.
- Getting my degree with a major in history.
- Getting my health back on track.
- This blog that has helped me connect with so many amazing people and made my dreams come true!
Anyway, that’s it for me. Those are the major lessons I’ve learnt so far. So, happy birthday me- may 27 be the best year yet!
