10 Pieces Of Advice To Give Yourself At The Age Of 20

10 pieces of advice to give yourself at the age of 20

At the age of 11, you learned that perfection does not always mean a flat tummy and a thigh gap. Go on and eat that second piece of cookie that you crave so much.

At the age of 12, you learned that just because you call her “mom” and him as “dad,” it doesn’t mean they inherently know how to be that. Also, suicide poison is not the cure for everything, it’s not a cure at all.

At the age of 13, you learned the difference between giving up and taking a rest. You might have given it your all but not make it. Remember to disregard everything that comes after but.

At the age of 14, you learned that standing up for everyone else does not mean that all of them will stand up for you when you need someone. Not one of them would be the first one to defend you, that spot is reserved for your name.

At the age of 15, you learned that people rarely mean what they say even if as a writer, you deem each and every word important. Learn to know the voices that speak sincerity and the voices that are just trying to get into your pants.

At the age of 16, you learned that letting go of people that only brings toxicity in your life is never a crime. Thinking about your own peace of mind does not make you selfish. Neither does placing yourself above that last number on your priority list.

At the age of 17, you learned that giving yourself to everyone willing could only lead to one thing: your own’s deterioration. Dear, you are more precious than someone who can’t even look into your eyes in the morning.

At the age of 18, you learned that loving and accepting yourself are two different things. Placing yourself in situations you are well aware of your self distraction is never loving yourself.

At the age of 19, you learned that lovers are not the only ones that can break your heart. People stay and go for a reason. Remember to treasure the rightful ones that life allowed to stay.

You’re 20 now and life has never been what you expected and planned it to be and that’s possibly the greatest thing that can happen into your life. You’re a writer but life writes with you, know when to let it leave significant marks and know when your own pen should be the one doing so.

"Today my mother asked me "What's wrong with you!? What are you, possessed by a demon!?" Because I've been absent and careless lately. I simply stood there silently, thinking, "No, I'm just tired. Tired of your voice, and your lies." Then, as she turned around it occurred to me that maybe she was right, that I was possessed by a demon, her."

My Heart's Thoughts

Hope builds slowly..

"When does the hurt end?" I think as I see his blue hat, I remember feeling blessed with his memory when he gave it.

Now it's a reminder of all that I've lost, all that he lost and doesn't care about.

But one day I search for a hat to wear and see I have more than just that one,

There's memories attached to the bucket hat, the banana hat and the one from the place I used to work.

Today I choose banana hat and remember my sisters laugh when she saw it. We were just starting out in the world, but we were building it slowly.

I put it own and it reminds me I'm more than others fingerprints.

I am my own, and I will find many more happy sunrises with other people.

It happens slowly, but if you just keep going it ends, I promise.

Soulmates are not your ~other half~, that’s just nonsense. You are a whole person already, not half a person. A soulmate isn’t even inherently romantic. A soulmate is just the other sock in a matched set. You’re still a whole, complete sock on your own, you are perfectly functional paired with any other sock, it’s just that it’s even better when you match. A soulmate is literally just the person who makes your soul go “!!! Same hat!!!” and wave excitedly.

I don’t know if anyone could make me feel like this way again. You’re the first person who can make me feel so happy that it flutters the inside of me. You’re the first person that looks so interested when I talked about anything. You’re the first person who made me realize that somehow I’m important in this world. You’re the first person who make me think like my dreams are very easy to reach. Aside from my family, you’re also my anchor. You’re the kind of person who is refreshing and fun to be with. I like the warmth in your smile. With you, it’s simply fun. Simply sitting beside you, talking about everything and nothing, makes me feel so happy. The kind of happiness I can’t contain. Just simply thinking about you is enough to make me feel giddy, too. You’re the first person to make me feel like I have more to offer the world than what I can do. In every smile you flashed at me, I got more inspired in every thing I do. You’re the first person whom I’ve shared my dreams without feeling awkward. You always share ideas with me. And you’ve always challenged me, pushed me to think in a different way. We have the ability to shut the world out when we’re together. Whenever you reach out and hold my hand, I find myself not caring about anything around us. To me, it’s just you and I. All I could think about is the way our fingers were intertwined, like it’s meant to be like that. I’m also struck by the feeling of familiarity when our skin/fingers touched. I’m so happy whenever I get to see you, you are the only one whom I’ve felt this pleasant and peaceful feeling in my chest. Each time you smiled at me, I get this good-kind-of-weird feeling that something warm touched my heart. I feel that what we have is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime. Being with you makes my life worthwhile.
