19 things i learned at the age of 19:
1. if he broke you, he won’t be the one to fix you
2. people are here one day and gone the next, appreciate them to the fullest
3. make sure he know how you feel about him
4. make sure he knows when he’s hurt you
5. gather the courage to walk away from things and people that hurt you
6. but only if the hurt surpasses the love and happiness
7. you are not your mistakes, don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise
8. if you mess up, get up and fight even harder because nothing worth attaining is easy
9. put on your favorite pair of jeans, your cutest sneakers, your warmest sweater and go out into the rain
10. be kind to everyone, yes everyone, until they give you a reason not to be, then be as cruel as you’d like
11. what people say when they’re angry may seem as though it is the most painful thing you’ve felt, but i promise you, it hurts them more than it does you once it has come out of their mouths
12. even when it feels like the whole world is against you and there is nothing left to fight for, fight for yourself
13. you may think that you’ve gotten your whole life figured out, but i promise you, you will change your mind so many times and that’s okay, life is about taking different paths until you get to your destination
14. even if you have no idea what you want to do with your life, get up in the morning and do something anyway because the more places you go and the more of life you see, the more you’ll love life
15. wake up with a smile on your face, even if it’s forced; one day, i promise you, it won’t be
16. just because you cry, it doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human; so let the tears fall and pick yourself up and don’t cry for the same reason again
17. tell your little sister you love her, she sees the pain you’re in and she hurts just as much as you; let her know she’s appreciated
18. your mom has been through so much, and sometimes it gets to be too much for her and all she can do is let it out; sometimes she’ll release it on you, that doesn’t mean she loves you any less
19. and lastly, when you find comfort in a boy with the softest brown eyes, remember that he is dreamy and he is exactly what you need at that moment, but you cannot make him your home because he isn’t vacant
