Hey everyone!
Unintended breaks are my forte is seems. I never really understood how little time adults get for themselves when I was younger, but now I do. Oh boy, it is actually much smaller than I thought it was. Add in my mental health and it is not enough time to do what I love to do. However, I finally took the time to blog which is a much needed relief.
I turn twenty-five today. I never thought I’d end up living to twenty-five for various reasons. I’m thankful to be able to get this far and have been thinking about all the lessons I’ve learned as I grew up. I compiled a list of twenty-five lessons, thoughts, etc. that I try to incorporate into my life every day. Hope you enjoy reading through them.
