The saying "I ain't getting any younger" may be one of the realest statements you will ever hear in your life.
It's beyond true, you're growing and although the future seems long and bright, sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself, "Am I doing this life thing right?"
I've learned to understand that mistakes are only lessons (unless you make the same mistake more than once). It's okay to put yourself on a pedestal once and awhile. Understand you aren't always right, and appreciate the moments you endure. Be proud of your accomplishments, and love the people who you surround yourself with before it's too late.
You don't want to be that person that is constantly living their life saying "If only...." and "I wish...". It does not feel good to regret things you have done, especially when it's too late. Don't ever look back, literally.
So here's a list of things I hope to not regret when I'm older...
1. Not exercising and eating healthy
2. Not taking advantage of paid vacation days by traveling
3. Being obsessed with your cellphone
4. Fighting with your siblings
5. Appreciating a dollar
7. Sleeping until noon and not appreciating early mornings
8. Not taking an excessive amount of photos for the memories
9. Not deactivating your Facebook
10. Being cheap
11. Not having enough sex
12. Not appreciating your elders and the advice they can give
13. Blaming others for your mistakes
14. Not taking care of your appearance
15. Staying in a toxic relationship
16. Having your parents pay for things you should be paying for
17. Taking risks
18. Holding grudges
19. Not helping your mom while she cooks so you can learn
20. Not getting a college degree
21. Worrying about things that you are not in control of
22. Surrounding yourself with people that put you down
23. Not saying "I love you" enough to the people that deserve to hear it
