20 Things I've Learned Before Turning 20

I've learned that staying true to yourself is more important that impressing other people. 

We live in a world where people are obsessed of competing with each other in showing whose life is better especially on social media platforms. It's starting to feel like it's a must for almost everyone to share almost every single thing that's happening in their lives regardless of its authenticity.  (I do it too, obviously, but I'm always learning to filter them to point out only the necessities based on their relevancy) I think it comes from the fact that I'm starting to realise that I don't need to try so hard to impress other people to make them like me for who I'm not. Well, we obviously can't make people like us because that's basically something we have no control of, but the point here is I just think that I'm better off being the true version of myself despite living up to other people's expectations of my decisions & well being.  I feel like we need to try to please ourselves first before feeling obligated to satisfy other people.

I've learned to always look at the bright side in every situation. Over the years, I've always been dragging myself down by overthinking too much about the little bad things that has happened to me and fearing that it would affect my whole life forever. Yep, overthinking is a thing, and it's actually not what you choose to do. You just do it. There was a time when I came to a realisation that I need to stop pressuring myself about the less important things that's happened and just keep moving forward and assure myself that there'll always be another opportunity knocking in front of my door, whether it's the opportunity for me to clear up the mess that I've made or maybe a new one for me to do something better to be remembered forever. Maybe I just need to go and get it?
