Few hours before my birthday :) I'm really excited to be 20 though I don't plan anything hahaha. Awesome! I just want to share what I learned before I will turn 20:)
1. YOU CAN BE HAPPY ALONE. Before, I always have this me time. It's my way of telling to someone I can do this without you or when I'm on my tampo mode haha but one thing I learned while doing this several times was that I'm actually teaching myself that I can be happy alone. Note: it's fun to have a me time but I guess with friends around is better :)
2. KEEPING THINGS TO YOURSELF WILL SOMETIMES MAKE THINGS WORST. I'm not really a person who shares super personal things but if I do,you're special. But sometimes I don't even share problems to the closest ones. I tend to keep it to myself. I always try to fix it on my own because I have this belief before that "I'm the only one who can fix my problems". I was proven wrong. It's sometimes better to have a friend ready to listen to you, guide you in some way but make sure the last decision will come from you. Because when you keep things to yourself, there will be times you'll just breakdown.
3. IT'S OKAY TO BE WEAK,SOMETIMES. I always try to make sure that I'm strong even just on the outside but it's wrong. You also need to be weak, to admit it to yourself that you're weak to be able to know youre also strong. Yeah, it's confusing but it works for me hehe
4. WHAT YOU BELIEVE WILL NOT ALWAYS BE WHAT PEOPLE AROUND YOU BELIEVE TOO. You just have to respect other people's belief. You meet new people almost everyday and it is best to understand them first and don't judge.
5. FIRST IMPRESSION IS JUST FIRST IMPRESSION. My first impression is always the wrong one so I stop having this first impression thingy. Most of my first impression with my friends right now are contrary to who they really are.
6. A BAD PAST RELATIONSHIP WILL REALLY CHNGE YOU. Well, beliefs were ruined already. I start not to believe in fairytales. I doubt when someone tells me something good or nice because I always bare in mind that, that person will only leave me or hurt me. Though it taught me a good lesson to be strong and to stand up again from being messed up. But that bad relationship makes me want to try again because on the least I still believe in happy endings :)
7. DON'T EXPECT. Expecting can really ruin everything. I try not to expect anything because it wil just lead to disappointments and I don't like disappointments. It will only give you bad a feeling and all other thing will be affected. Just be happy what you have at the moment because no one has the same moment like you do so cherish it :)
8. IF YOU CAN FIX,FIX IT. You don't just throw feelings away just because you're tired of understanding that feeling. I believe that smart people don't just ditch because they're tired, they fix it. Honestly, If I will be asked to which generation I want to be? I go for the 80s because of the long relationships they have.
9. EXPRESS YOURSELF. Don't be afraid of being yourself. There will be people who will come and will try to change you, have this courage to say NOOOO! Don't change for someone because they want you to change but change for yourself, to be better. If they really love you, they'll love the you together with your flaws.
10. DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY. Try as much as possible. Don't let the opportunities pass. Always have the courage to take that step because you'll never know where that step can lead you. You just need to control. Control is the key. If you know you'll get hurt in trying, just try and always be positive that it will lead you to something better. I think it's better to try then later you'll wonder what if I did this or that?
