28 things I've learned in the last 28 years :)
If you know me you know I love birthdays! I absolutely love celebrating all things, but especially birthdays. I think it is so special to celebrate someone you love and remind them of all the reasons why you love them. I love reminiscing on all that happened in the past year and dreaming about all the things to come. So before I turned 28 a few weeks ago I wrote this list of 28 things I’ve learned over the years and wanted to share.
You’ll never regret saying yes to the thing that scares you the most and leaves everyone confused…like being an Au Pair.
The people who love you the most will not let you live alone in whatever you’re walking-in, but you have to let them in.
Always take the long route while walking anywhere.
Go on the sister trip, the best friend trip, the solo trip. It will change your life. It’s these moments that you’ll cherish forever.
Find a park that makes you feel happy to be alive and go on more walks.
Write thank you notes. Write post it notes. Write text messages. People need to be reminded how much you love them.
If you hate your job then quit. You’re not stuck doing anything that makes you not want to get out of the car in the morning.
Pray about everything. Nothing is too small. God cares about every single thing.
Moving to a city you don’t really want to be in could be the greatest gift you didn’t know you needed. (Reminding myself of this now. 😅)
Coffee with your dessert after dinner is one of life’s greatest joys.
Drinking coffee in the shower is a life changing practice.
Find community and seek people who help you be more like Jesus.
Wear the hat. You know you want to. 😉
Always get froyo when you arrive in NYC. No matter what time it is, and even better if it’s with your bestie
It’s always helpful to have your favorite bag of tea in case you ever want to ask for hot water on the airplane or at a restaurant
Always stop when you see a kid having a lemonade stand.
It’s better to say what you’re feeling than overthink it 400 times in your head and wait years to say it.
Paint your toenails blue.
Have faith that the Lord is taking you on the most amazing adventure even when you can’t see it or feel it.
Life is meant to be lived one day at a time. This is easier said than done sometimes.
If you want to change your life (in any area) start today.
The best birthday present is spending time with people you love while doing something you love.
You’ll never be too much for the people meant for you.
Try and sweat everyday. It will change your life.
Bring a book with you everywhere.
Make pancakes at home on your days off.
Help someone in need every chance you get. That’s why we're here…to help each other.
Try and do something that scares you more often than not.
LOVE, LIZA
