19 Lessons for 19 years

Initially I wanted to do this when I turn 20 "20 Lessons in 20 years" but I'll do it now.Next year I'll do "20 more lessons in 20 years".

But here we are. 19 Lessons for 19 years

1. Be kind to everyone. You never know what somebody goes through.

2. Don't trust everyone. Not everybody is your friend. Doubt people when you should. Doubt them everyday. Test people when you can.

3. You're better off alone. Yes Loneliness is hard and honestly I hate it, but it's better to be alone than to have fake and toxic friends or bad entourages.

4. You shouldn't postpone things. You'll never achieve anything saying "I'll do it later". Do it now.

5. Learn to love yourself. I have already accepted myself with good and bad by now. I have no trace of blame and self hate left in me.

6. Be yourself unapologetically. The ones who like and love you will stick, the rest will leave, and it's better. Real people will always stay. Embrace your quirkiness. Embrace your cringe. Embrace authenticity and originality.

7. Don't be afraid. Fear will get you nowhere. You have to face even your darkest of fears. Be courageous.

8. If they treat you harshly. Treat them kindly. Like Jesus on the cross.

9. Most people are mean, but this does not mean you should be mean to kind people too.

10. Don't bleed on somebody who didn't hurt you. They don't deserve to feel the consequences of other people who hurt you.

11. Don't bite the hand of the one who feeds you. Instead hug them and appreciate their efforts.

12. Forgive the ones who made you harm. If you forgive them, you're eliberated.

13. Without greed you'll get far in life. Be thankful of what you have, now disappointed of what you don't and envious on people who do.

14. Harm you do to other, will ultimately return to you. Hurting others you'll only hurt yourself.

15. Do the things you want to do. I mean seriously, you're still young. 19 is a perfect age to start your life.

16. Live. Laugh. Love. You only live once

17. Make friends with everyone. Go to people on the street. Ask them how they feel. You might think they'll think you're awkward but in reality they'll like it.

18. Don't fear failure. Grow from it. Failure is what it takes to succeed.

19. Everything you went through made you, the real you. With your imperfections and with your qualities, you'll conquer the world. You wouldn't be the same had you not gone through winds and flames.

Bonus: Reconquer your life. Reconquer the day.

Next year I'll do 20 Lessons for 20 years. Other lessons.
