Jordan Year.
Twenty-three things I’ve learned at 23!
Hey y'all! 6 months ago I turned 23 (Feb. 10th) I feel like I’ve learned quite a bit about myself recently and thought I’d take the time and share them! I’ll be 24 next year which is kind of crazy to think about but I’m SOOOO excited!!! I use to always think I wanted to be forever 18.. I mean no one ever wants to grow up! At times I do think that but I also know I’m getting better with age! 23 has showed, and taught me a lot things, and I can’t wait to see what 24 and 25 bring me!
1. It’s okay to be selfish!! You have to take care of yourself before you can fully take care, or meet the needs of others. At the end of the day you can only help others, if you’re helping yourself first. You’ll be no use to someone if you don’t have yourself together.
Saying no is okay, you can’t please everyone!! At the end of the day the only person you should be pleasing is yourself! Throughout life there will be people who try to take advantage of you, or pressure you into doing things that you just aren’t down for and you just really can’t pay those people any mind.
Its okay to not be okay. Sometimes you just aren’t feeling it, its like you’re not yourself and thats 100% okay!! Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for that.
No one should ever make you feel like your feelings are invalid no matter what situation you’re in!
“The pain you are feeling can not compare to the joy that is coming” -Romans 8:18
I can’t cook but I’m so interested in learning. Thought I’d just throw that out there.
Having a nice car isn’t as important as you think! Trust me. I drive an ‘09 Chevy Malibu and although the air isn’t working at the moment, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
GREYS ANATOMY IS LITERALLY THE BEST SHOW AND IF YOU DON’T AGREE YOU’RE CRAZY!
I love my siblings more than anything in this world. The older we get the more we connect! I never thought this day would come, but it did and I couldn’t be any happier!
I’m a very shy person! A lot of people who know me would probably disagree but I swear I am!
When I love, I love hard!! Although this can bite me in the butt sometimes, I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world. Being able to love someone so deeply despite all of their flaws is one of the best feelings in the world. I would give my right foot to someone who wouldn’t think to give me their left knee.
BURGERS ARE LIFE. I know, I know they aren’t the best for you BUT who doesn’t enjoy a burger! Whataburger is my go to.
Being an aunt is the best thing in the world!! I love my niece and nephews! They make me so excited to be a mom in the future!!
Not getting that text back is not the end of the world.
Communication in a relationship is so important!! If you aren’t on the same page things start to get messy. And this goes for every relationship whether its romantic, or as simple as a friendship.
Self love is so important!!!! If you don’t love you, who will?
I’m sooooo good at predicting movies!! I can almost always tell you exactly how the storyline will go. Just ask my boyfriend.
I hate being late, it gives me the worst anxiety. I would rather show up 2 minutes early rather than 2 minutes late.
I love serving, I’m just not passionate about it anymore.
College isn’t for me. I gave it a shot and did the best I could but I just don’t see myself ever going back.
I love my curls, but I just suck a styling my hair! All I ever do is throw it in a bun and call it a day. I’ve got to do better.
At 22 I met the love of my life. Just a little fun fact.
- Being yourself is hard. Sometimes its like I don’t even know who I am! But I am working on it and getting better day by day!
Thats all for now! I can’t wait to look back on this at 24 and do some comparing! And to be real, coming up with 23 things is harder than you’d think LOL! What are some things you’ve experienced in your life? Leave them in the comments below, I’d love to know!
