Although I may not be that old, I feel like I’ve learned a lot so far and I really wanted to share some of the most important life lessons I’ve learned in my 21 short years of life.
1. Life isn’t fair
For sure. This is a big lesson we start learning when we are little.

A very hard concept.

Money can’t buy you everything.
4. The inside is what matters
Always.
5. Don’t judge a book by its cover
You never know what’s going on in someones life.

Even if they aren’t.

Though it may be tempting.

So they will be a good one back.

You never know when it’s your last.
12. A bad day isn’t the end of the world
May seem like it that day.
13. Karma is a bitch
Probably the best lesson.
14. Say “Thank you”
You never know who’s day it might make.
