The Number Thirty-Two... what's with that number? Oh well, today, I just turned 32, my first ever birthday away from home. and i think getting a year older is a blessing.. And since i always do something for my birthday, so i decided to make a list of what life has taught me all these years.
Here is a list of my 32 Things I Learned from Life in 32 Years:
- Life is Beautiful. We may forget it at our down times, but it still is.
- Take vacations. Go to as many places as you can. You can always make money, you can't always make memories.
- SHIT happens.
- It's GOOD TO BE BAD sometimes.
- It's all in the mind. Your way of thinking will always affect your life.
- Sometimes when you break the rules, you make everything right.
- Take photos as much as possible. You can always go back to the same place over and over, you can always do things again and again... but you can never get that same experience and memory twice.
- If it's meant to be, then it's meant to be. You can try it your way but if nothing happens after that, stop forcing or else you will just inflict more injury to the injured.. better leave it to FATE.
- Sometimes, a HUG is all that you need.
- In the end, family is still family and friends can be family too.
- Not all of your friends are TRUE. The masks will wear off in time. Don't expect much.
- You can't always be nice. Sometimes you have to set boundaries. People will take advantage of you if you don't.
- You don't have to tell the truth ALL THE TIME. Some things are meant to be kept.
- Small things mean a lot. Even a simple "hi" will change your mood for the rest of the day.
- You can't always get what you want.
- Sometimes when you are angry, you have the right to be angry.
- At some point in your life, YOU WILL GO CRAZY OVER LOVE, VERY CRAZY!
- Never forget the child in you. Sometimes we make our own complications in life. Life was always simple back in our childhood days. It's always good to be happy even with just little treats and candies.
- You can never be too sure about anything.
- Take Chances. If you think you have all the time, YOU ARE WRONG! There are some things that you will not be able to do next time. Regrets will always come later.
- Never take for granted omens along the way. Keep your eyes open. Be alert on the warning signs.
- It's not always about money, it should always be about what makes you happy.
- You have to have time for yourself. Travel alone, get lost, explore, meet people, do absolutely nothing or do everything you want... just then, you will find yourself and you will know what you really want in life without other people telling you.
- Change is a must. But be sure you are ready for whatever!
- We always have a CHOICE, ALWAYS. And sometimes, we have to choose between what we want to happen from what should be done. Trust me, it will make you crazy!
- Some things are better left unsaid. Cos WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU!
- Letting go is never easy. Saying GOODBYE will either hurt one or both of you. Until now, i honestly suck at it.
- The WHAT IFs are inevitable. Sooner or later you will realize you could have done this instead of that. It's normal. Just don't dwell on it much.
- Emotions are contagious. Go with happy people, they will make you happy.
- Never get too attached to something which isn't yours. Letting go would be torture.
- Most of the time the best way to help is to just listen. You will never fully understand things unless we become them. It will always be a case to case basis.
- It is not with the quantity of time but the quality of time that you were together. Even a seven-year relationship cannot be compared to a month of pure bliss. The feeling of being at home is what matters.
I don't know if everybody would agree on all of these but this is definitely the way i see life now. Let's just LIVE, LOVE and be HAPPY!!! and that's all i wish for my birthday today...
