it’s my birthday🥳

because it's my birthday; for this blog post, I wanted to do something a bit different. I wanted to talk about a few life lessons I've learned in my 25 years of earthly life so far, so here it is!

some things I’ve learned at 25 as of March 19th:

1. stop allowing the opinions of others to dictate your life

2. ALWAYS choose kindness

3. you may be the only “bible” some read, remember that

4. you will most likely lose some friends…but that’s okay!

5. God’s path is and always will be the BEST path you can take

6. when God says jump, you jump without worrying how high. He’s jumping with you

7. the best friends are the ones that lead you TO God, not the ones that tempt you with the world

8. sometimes, you have to walk away from the things that hinder God’s plan for you

9. some people are only in your life for a season, and some stay

10. your path IS different from that girl you see on Instagram, and that’s okay! don’t compare your timeline with someone else’s

11. sometimes, the only way out is through

12. I would not be where I am if I had not listened to God, and I am grateful I did!

13. growing up is scary, and tbh none of us know how to do it “right.” the best thing we can do is listen to God

14. see your family as much as possible

15. it’s your parent's first time living too. never forget that

16. God doesn’t promise us a perfect life, but He promises to be with us

17. make time for the people you love

18. you are never too busy to read your bible

19. don’t prolong something God has not given you peace in

20. PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING

21. BE A LIGHT

22. stop comparing yourself to your friends! be their biggest cheerleader instead

23. being a Christian can be super lonely at times, but God will always be enough when we feel like this

24. if you feel something off with your body, get it checked out!

25. love absolutely everyone regardless 🤍

thank you, Lord, for another year! here’s to 25💐🪩
