It’s my BIRTHDAY! I can’t believe that I am already 24 years old. It’s insane how fast this past year has gone by. So I’m going to share with you 24 things I’ve learned so far. I hope you enjoy!
24 Things I’ve Learned
- Do whatever makes you happy
- Stop worrying what others think of you
Someone is always going to have something to say regardless - Everything happens for a reason.
- Be you and nobody else.
There are people in this world who are going to judge you no matter what, so just be you. - You can’t please everyone.
- It’s okay to be selfish sometimes!
- Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.
- It’s okay to not have it all figured out.
For a long time I thought that I needed my whole life figured out after I graduated college, but I want you to know that it is okay if you don’t know. - Always say yes to new adventures!
- It’s also okay to say no.
If you don’t want to do something because you truly don’t think that it will make you happy, it’s okay to decline. - Your friend groups will change, and that’s okay
Some friends just grow apart, you’ll lose friends but also gain friends. - Eat whatever makes you HAPPY!
If you want that piece of cake eat it. Life is way too short to be constantly worrying about the food you are consuming. - Stand up for what you believe in
- Have those hard conversations
- Stop waiting and just got for it!
For example, if you want to start a blog, a podcast, a YouTube channel, etc. JUST DO IT - Never take life too seriously
- Always pursue your passions!
- Learn something new, it’s never too late!
It’s never too late to find something that you love. Think of something you have always wanted to do/learn and just do it. YouTube is a great free source with a ton of information. - ASK QUESTIONS!
Seriously, it’s cool to ask questions if you don’t know something or want to learn from someone else. - Self care is so important
Listen to your body and take care of it - Stop comparing yourself to others
- Set goals for yourself and write them down
- Know that you aren’t perfect
- Lastly just have fun!
Happy Birthday To Me!

i love everything about this post!! awesome job girl!
Happy belated birthday! I agree with number 10, I used to never want to say no because I didn’t want to disappoint people, but now that I practiced to say it every now and then I realized that people will be okay with it and move on. Great post!

Yes to all of these! Especially do what makes you happy and don’t be afraid to be selfish sometimes. Wonderful post 🙂
Happy birthday Erin! Sounds like you’ve built up a lot of wisdom in your years. I especially like the one about it being okay to not have everything all figured out. I still don’t have everything figured out. 🤷♀️😂 Hope you have a great bday!
