20 things I've learnt in 20 years

0 Comments
Here are some thought's I've had whilst looking back on my 20 years of life.

 1. I love food! All types, cuisines and flavours. Food is amazing and I love it.
2. I can cook, pretty well. I mean I'm no Delia Smith, but I can follow a recipe without being too flustered and make up some dishes off the top of my own head too.
3. I have more determination than I would have ever thought possible and I can weather most storms.
4. My family mean a heck of a lot to me and no matter how disjointed or frustrating they might get, I wouldn't change them for the world.
5. Friends are people who care and take time for me too, it's a two way street and you can't look after everyone.
6. Don't spend time and energy on people who I instantly dislike and distrust. I can live my life without them and they can live theirs. I don't need people like that.
7. I am amazing under pressure! I always thought I'd be the kind of person who would breakdown at the slightest notion of things falling apart but actually I'm sort of a boss at getting things done when it really counts. 
8. Don't go on a trip abroad without having a solid plan of things I actually want to do.
9. I don't have to wear makeup all the time, literally noone cares. Also, bobby pins go in flat side up.
10. Social media is a brilliant way of connecting with people and having fun.
11. I don't need social media on all the time, some moments don't need a selfie or hashtag and are better as moments.
12. I can change a nappy, feed a baby, clean up baby sick (without gagging), rock them to sleep and not be mad when said baby wakes up early.
13. I love my nephew and niece so much. They are incredible and my sister and brother in law are amazing for looking after them. Sometimes it's hard when I can't see them or play with them as much but I will always be there for them if they need me.
14. It's ok to live life not according to plan. Everyone goes off the path sometimes and it can lead to a happier and more fulfilled one even if you can't see it straight away.
15. Don't force yourself to be 'normal', I am me and will always be. I cannot do something my body can't and I don't need to do what everyone else is doing if it means being miserable.
16. Sometimes I will do things I don't want to or have jobs I hate and that's ok. This will not be forever.
17. My CFS/ME is manageable, I just needed a lot of time, practice and someone to take a chance on me.
18. I am capable of patience. Not everything will be done right now and I can accept that, it gives you time to enjoy rather than stressing about it.
19. Barriers are not put in front of me without some way of going forward being there also. There is always a way to move onwards and upwards, I just have to trust it.
20. People will always have an opinion and 'advice'. You do not have to take it all to heart, just listen until they have finished and let it glide off you like rain. 
Take care
