A Girl's Guide to Anything and Everything II

Life lessons no one tells you

Hey guys! Today I am going to share with you lessons that no one really tells you and are significantly valuable no matter how old you are. I haven't been on this earth long, but being just 16 I learned to grow up pretty quick. These are some of the things I've learned over the course of those years. Have I learned everything? No. Do I know everything? Absolutely not. However, I'm telling you guys some lessons that I try to live by everyday and things you should know if you haven't already. By the way, these aren't going in a specific order.

1. Half of the time, no one cares what you are doing or how you look. So yeah don't stress over it.
2. Everyone has insecurities. You aren't the only one. And half of the time, no one can notice your insecurities because they are too focused on their own.
3. We are so immature. We try to make everything go our way and we tear people down in the process. Be the better person and move on, do good for yourself not for others.
4. If you feel like you are being used in the slightest, you probably are. Test your friendship to see if it's real by NOT giving them what they want. The truth will come out.
5. Sometimes, it isn't worth it to fight back. People always believe they are right and any other opinion is wrong so save yourself the trouble and don't bother trying to explain to them how WRONG THEY ARE. I know, it's going to be hard.
6. Tomorrow is another day. If you had a bad day, it will all be forgotten by tomorrow. That includes who you are made at, you will forgive them by tomorrow.
7. Slow down. Take a breath. Don't rush through life. It is so short and you don't realize how much time has passed until it's too late. Take your time with everything and enjoy everything, even the little things.
8. You don't realize what you have until it's gone. So be grateful for what you have and make the most out of everything.
9. If you don't know, don't talk about it. This could go for conversations you don't know what they're about, people, or situations you don't know the full story to.
10. Do. Not. Assume. Somehow, the moment you assume something, the moment you are wrong.
11. If you don't like something, leave. Don't make yourself go through a situation you don't feel comfortable with or just don't like. If there are people you don't like, conversations, activities, etc. Just leave. Except you can't leave school. Sorry.
12. Don't waste your time on people who don't deserve you. Just saying.
13. The more you regret in life, the worse you are going to feel about yourself. And the higher chance you are going to have an existential crisis. Don't let the past haunt you. It's in the past, let it stay there.
14. Remember that you are never alone. There is always someone out there that cares about you.
15. Suicide is never the answer. There's always another path that will take you out of your misery. That path includes the people that love you, giving time to yourself and being thankful that you were given a chance to live.
16. Things happen for a reason. If you don't like something now, you might be grateful for it in the future. You never know.
17. Think twice before you say something. It's that simple, yet that hard.
18. Never be afraid. If you can imagine yourself doing something, you absolutely have enough courage to make it a reality.
19. This is a hard one but if you really REALLY wants something don't give up. If you do, you'll realize that you didn't really want it that badly in the first place.
20. Live your life to the absolute fullest. Life is so short and even thought society as a whole is kind of screwed up, the science of life and consciousness is beautiful. Some never have got to experience life, while others have died and will never get to experience that feeling anymore. If you are breathing right now you are very lucky and very important.

So those were some quick life lessons. I wanted to share them with you because sometimes you forget how important you are and these life lessons no one truly just says aloud. They are always pushed aside and never mentioned. However they should be mentioned because if you try living by these mottos, you will realize how important your life is and possibly live your life a little differently, a little more happier. Thank you for reading my chapter and giving me some time to heal (read previous chapter of you don't know) I love you all and if you have any chapter suggestions, feel free to comment them below.
