On November 7th, 2015, I turned 20 years old. I am not a teenager anymore. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! I AM IN MY 20s. I HAVE LIVED FOR TWO DECADES. WHAT IS MY LIFE?
Time has flown by way too quickly. Life has been filled with so many wonderful joys, as well as terrible low points. But through high and low points alike, I have learned so much about myself and this world I live in.
That being said, I wanted to reflect on some of the things I have learned in my 20 years of life.
Here are a list of things that society put in my mind as the most important aspects of life:
BEING SKINNY
BEING PRETTY
HAVING LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY
CELEBRITIES
HAVING A “GOALS” RELATIONSHIP
MATERIAL ITEMS
POLITICS
(If you could even call Donald Trump a politician)
And here are the list of things that I realized are most important :
GOD
FAMILY
LOVE FOR ANIMALS, THE PLANET, AND THE PEOPLE
OPPORTUNITIES
POSSIBILITIES
EXPERIENCES
FRIENDSHIP
SELF LOVE
LAUGHTER
VULNERABILITY
PASSION
DETERMINATION &
WILLPOWER
