8 things i learned when i turned 18.
1,
You probably don’t get as many birthday wishes as you used to but that’s okay. I know very well inside my heart who are the ones who care.

Everything is temporary. Brought this over from last year’s post and am still mastering the skill on how to accept it. Am still being the same, trying to cherish the people i hold dear around me, trying to make as much time i have for them as possible.

You may be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world; but there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches. There's going to be haters - people who don't approve of or support you, but that's alright. You do what you think is right, you chase after what you really want. Don't let anyone stop you from doing otherwise.

When life throws you lemons, apples, pears and whatnot, you go make the best juice ever out of it. Life's not going to be easier, you just get stronger over the years. Don't be afraid of what's about to come, just give it your all and live with no regrets.

The best thing to do when it rains, is to let it rain. Time's not going to stop for you; you make your own time for the things you want to do. Don't fight fate or go against your destiny, learn to accept it and make the best out of it.

When people care for you, they show it. Actions speak louder than words, and that is one thing i will always strongly believe in. I hope you realise who are the ones cherishing you as much as you deserve and keep them close to heart.

Things get easier as you grow older. As cliche as this sounds, it’s true. It’s not about the age though, it’s about how much you’re growing everyday. Things that used to affect me suddenly don’t bother me anymore. Just have faith in yourself that life gets better and things get easier.

I am blessed. Okay, to be fair, this isn’t something i just recently learned. I do realise this like a few years back already but i just wanted to put this out there. I am blessed with a loving family, with caring friends, with a warm home and good food, with everything that i have in life. I am blessed to be able to do what i love, to study what i’m interested in, to pursue what i’m passionate about. Though i do not show it as often as i should, i love my parents, i love my family, i love my friends, i love my life.
