31 Lessons for My 31st Birthday
Happy Birthday to Me!
In honor of my 31st birthday tomorrow, February 13th - I’d like to share 31 lessons I’ve learned thus far.
Believe it or not, happiness is a choice.
All of our choices have consequences - whether good or bad.
We are where we are because of us.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
God is real.
Stories matter.
Stories are powerful.
You have a voice - learn when to use it.
Listen more than you speak.
Choose your battles; not everything is worth the fight.
But what is worth fighting for won’t be easy.
Easy money is not always good money.
Everyone is fighting their own battles.
There is a reason for someone’s outlook on something.
Don’t take things personally!
Anger is a waste of energy.
If a man is going to cheat - he is going to cheat, there is NOTHING you can do to prevent it.
However, there are faithful men out there!
With God, all things are possible.
It’s okay to feel your feelings.
It’s okay to not be okay, but don’t stay there, seek help.
Everyone needs therapy.
God created us for a purpose, and once you find yours, life makes more sense.
Life is hard - choose a partner who will fight life’s challenges with you!
With the right partner, your relationship will be easy. Meaning - things fall naturally into place.
It’s okay to be selfish at times.
There’s no greater love than a mother’s love.
Once you lose your mom - you’re never the same.
Grief is hard.
It’s better to be present and not always take pictures and videos to post them online.
Be flexible.
Thank you so much for reading and your continuous support. With this post, my Substack newsletter is officially one year old, and writing here is my favorite place. I feel like I can truly be vulnerable and share my honest thoughts. I hope I’ll be able to continue to write for years to come.
With Love, Heidy
