I’m sure you all know by now that I am a professional overthinker, so you best believe I created a list of things I’ve learned by 26. The prefrontal cortex is very much fully developed and I’m ready to take on this new year. Happy birthday to all my fellow Capricorns!

26 Things I’ve Learned (in no particular order):

1. Growing pains in the workplace suck, but they will help you grow. That’s literally why they’re called that.
2. Family is everything.
3. Sometimes friends are meant for specific seasons.
4. You know what you want and need, so don’t settle for less.
5. Don’t look in the mirror so much.
6. Your gut is always right.
7. Sparkly socks transform any outfit for the better.
8. Your parents can be your friends.
9. Hot yoga is good for your mind and body.
10. It doesn’t hurt to dream big.
11. Just because something works for someone, it doesn’t mean it will work for you.
12. Your girlfriends are your soul sisters. Treasure them forever and always.
13. Mixed signals are a no.
14. Just because they text you, it doesn’t mean they’re into you.
15. Buy the outfit, the occasion will find you.
16. Boundaries will help you know yourself on an even deeper level.
17. Live your truth.
18. It’s okay to glance back at the past, but make sure you’re gazing forward.

20. Seek God’s counsel in everything.
21. Try not to have more than two drinks.
22. Put yourself out there.
23. Life doesn’t have to be so black and white. Live in the gray area a bit more, you’ll feel happier.
24. Happiness is a direction, not a destination.
25. When you live life without fear, you manage your emotions better.
26. Stop thinking that you’re not that good at something and just do the damn thing.
