One of my favourite traditions at the end of the year is not making resolutions for the next one, but reflecting on everything I learnt this year. This has been the most personally challenging year so far (and hopefully ever) so I have collected a fair bit of wisdom to dish out...
- Owning lots of things is stressful. Keep it simple metaphorically and literally
- You don't have to like prawns just because everyone else does
- Never be the one who stopped trying, being proud won't stop the 'what ifs'
- Red is sooooo my colour
- If you fail, try again. If someone else fails, support them, again. And again if need be
- Family is EVERYTHING
- Don't be a roadblock to someone apologising. Even if you can't accept it, let them say it
- Comparing yourself to other people is a great way to drive yourself crazy
- Doing the wrong thing by other people's standards doesn't mean it's not the right thing for you right now
- Move to the city. Even if it's just for a little while
- Every person is a human being with thoughts and feelings you know nothing about. So be kind, up front with your intentions and listen when they speak
- If you look at someone's profile picture and think 'dayummmm', tell them. Even if you're not close, compliments are free
- You won't get something if you don't ask for it. Except for bills
- The ability to accept the things you can't change will allow you to sleep at night
- Sometimes you will have to smile at people you genuinely dislike. It's called being an adult
- Say yes to that beer
