I know coming back to tumblr on my birthday is not exactly ideal but rhdjdjdjjs I’ve turned 29 today! There have been more lows than highs, but I am grateful to those who I’ve met on tumblr and even to those who I’ve not been in touch with.
This year I’ve been bad with keeping in touch and been not replying lately. And I’m truly sorry for that. Mental health was not at my best and I thought the best way to do so was to not talk because I felt like I’d be bothering people but, it’s a learning process isn’t it? I’ll try to be better at being more active.
Thank you to those that kept showering their love for me and I appreciate you all 🥺 can’t believe I’m entering my 30th year. No one ask me to get married yet please rhrjjdjdjdkdks

29 Lessons from 29 years of living
Hello friends,
I’ve spent a little while contemplating on whether or not to create a blog post for this but I figured there is no harm in it, and maybe someone will take something from this the way that I take lessons from other peoples’ confessions.
I have spent 29 years on this earth so far and only very recently have I started writing myself letters on my birthday, listing all the things that I’ve learnt in the year prior.
Like most other things I post about on this blog, I’ve made a YouTube video talking about this year’s list and the reasons behind each lesson, which you can watch here, but if you prefer to read through lists and come back to them later etc, like I often do, please continue reading and let me know in the comments if you are going to take on any of the lessons I’ve learnt myself, or if you’re going to start making your own list! I’d love to hear your lessons.
29 Lessons from 29 years of living:
1. I am truly capable of creating any life or manifesting any opportunity I want.
2. I should take as good care of my health as possible.
3. Always try to learn something from any given situation.
4. Sometimes, things are just shit and can’t be turned into a learning experience.
5. Not all friendships are meant to last, no matter how badly you want them to.
6. Let go of people who make you feel like shit.
7. Don’t lower your standards - let the good people come to you, they will.
8. Trust you intuition! It never ever misses.
9. Read the book, watch the movie and rest when you need it. Enjoyment isn’t always productive.
10. Never get tired of going to things by yourself - that’s when you have the most fun.
11. Drink water - as much as you can.
12. Always wear sunscreen - it’s the reason people are looking younger and younger!
13. Journalling helps your mental health - keep this habit up.
14. Moving your body at least once a day and preferably in the morning makes you so much happier.
15. Keep trying to learn that second or third language - your brain works better because of it.
16. You are lucky - even when you don’t feel like it.
17. One walk a day is an act of rebellion against productivity and capitalism! (Read Sarah Wilson’s This one wild and precious life to understand this one)
18. Look around you - take stock of the beautiful world we are in - look up from your phone!!
19. Don’t get caught up in what other people think of you - if you’re happy and not hurting anyone, fuck what anyone else thinks.
20. Some people don’t deserve your forgiveness, your time or your energy.
21. The love you’ve given others they they haven’t returned is never wasted.
22. Believe that love is out there - you give it to yourself everyday.
23. Finding time to be creative is an essential part of your happiness.
24. Sometimes you can keep a little secret for yourself - it’s fun!
25. Always looking for a silver lining isn’t weakness - finding a light in the dark is strength.
26. Meditation is important - it makes you kinder.
27. If you want to do something, jump at it without hesitation - we only have only life, and it truly isn’t that long.
28. Find beauty and fun in the small moments in life - the mundane can be the best parts.
29. Never stop believing that a dream can become reality - what is meant for you will never pass you by and if you’ve imagined it, it is meant to be yours.
If you’ve gotten to the bottom of this post, thank you for taking the time to read my words and thoughts - these are deeply personal to me, but if you’ve gotten anything from them, I’m glad.
I hope wherever you are and whoever you are, that you’re having a wonderful day and being your truest and most authentic self.
Be kind to your self and others.
See you in the next post!
Gxx
