23 Things Iâve Learned at 23 đ§ż
Not a perfect list. Just truths Iâve gathered from heartbreak, healing, growth, small wins, quiet days, gym sessions, travels, and late-night thoughts. Hereâs what life has taught me so far
đż ON HEALTH & HEALING
1. Health is wealth.
Yoga taught me to listen to my body. Being able to move, breathe, and feel safe in your body is already a blessing.
2. Healing isnât linear.
Some days youâll feel proud. Some days youâll want to disappear. Both are okay. What matters is you keep showing up.
3. If you donât knowâask a professional.
Itâs better to invest in real help than waste time guessing and getting hurt. Not everything on the internet is meant for you.
đ§ââïž ON SELF-LOVE & SELF-RESPECT
4. Love yourself deeply.
Not in a trendy way, but in the quiet wayâchoosing yourself, even when no one else does.
5. Respect yourself too.
Donât stay in places where you are not valued. Even if you love them. Especially if you love you.
6. You donât need to chase.
Become. Heal. Focus on alignment. Whatâs for you will find you when you are being real with yourself.
7. Pour into your own cup first.
You canât give from an empty soul. Take care of your energy. What overflows is what you share.
8. Boundaries are an act of love.
They protect your peace and your future. Not everyone deserves access to you
đ ON MINDSET & GROWTH
9. Alignment is more important than achievement.
If it costs your peace, itâs too expensive. You donât have to prove anything. just feel at peace.
10. Be open to experiences.
Especially in your school years. Explore, feel lost, try, fail. Thatâs how youâll meet your real self.
11. Youâre allowed to relearn and unlearn.
Changing your mind isnât being fake. Itâs growth. Let yourself evolve.
12. Donât take everything personallyâbut take accountability.
Sometimes itâs not about you. Sometimes it is. Know the difference, and do better.
13. Keep the honest ones in your life.
The ones who hold you accountable with love. keep them close. Their honesty is a gift.
14. Some endings are redirections.
Let go of what you thought it had to be. Life has softer plans.
15. Not everything deserves your reaction.
Sometimes, silence is the strongest response. Protect your energy.
16. You donât need to be understood by everyone.
The right people will feel you even in your quietest seasons.
17. Itâs okay to feel heavy, mad, undone.
It doesnât mean youâre weak. it means you want something better. You wonât always be calm. Survival is messy. But when you survive it, be proud. Be grateful. Life moves in wavesâsad, happy, then sad again. Thereâs no âpoint A to point B.â Just live. Breathe through the contradictions.
18. Live a life you wonât want to restart. (I don't want to be reborn again HAHAH)
Life may be getting harder but choose to live in a way that you wonât ask for a second chance. Make this one enough
đ§Ą ON RELATIONSHIPS & PEOPLE
19. Donât overanalyze what he said.
What he said is what he meant. Donât overthink it. Save yourself the spiral.
20. You can have friends with different personalities.
Youâll outgrow some in certain ways, and theyâll outgrow you too. Thatâs okay. Itâs not a competitionâitâs growth.
21. Keep the ones who feel like peace.
The ones who make life softer, who remind you who you areâhold onto them.
đ ON PRIVACY & PEACE
22. Privacy is peace.
Not everything has to be posted. Protect the parts of your life that are still becoming.
23. This account is just 10% of my life.
Most of my days are lived quietly, offscreen, in moments that no one sees. And thatâs where the real life i
So this is 23.
Still learning. Still soft. Still becoming.
But more grounded. More grateful. More real.
Happy birthday to me. đ€
