27 THINGS I'VE LEARNED IN 27 YEARS

1. GOD HAS A CRAZY WAY OF WORKING THINGS OUT FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. 

2. WORK/LIFE BALANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO A GOOD LIFE.

3. CRY FOR A MOMENT, WIPE YOUR TEARS, AND WORK HARDER TO GET THE OUTCOME YOU WANT.

4. MY MOM IS A SUPER HERO AND ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, AND I LOVE THAT.

5. DISTANCE WILL NEVER RUIN A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. NOT EVER!

7. I NEVER SHOULD HAVE CONVINCED MYSELF THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE ME. 

8. BLACK LIVES SHOULD AND ALWAYS HAVE MATTERED. 

9. SEASONAL ALLERGIES HAPPEN IN THE SPRING AND IN THE FALL!

10. SUCCESS DOESN'T AND WILL NEVER LOOK THE SAME TO EVERYONE, SO NO ONE SHOULD FEEL PRESSURED TO FULFILL ANOTHER PERSON'S IDEA OF SUCCESS.

11. STANDING, SITTING, OR DANCING IN THE RAIN IS THERAPEUTIC AND MORE PEOPLE SHOULD DO IT.

12. NOT EVERYONE CHANGES OR IS OPEN TO CHANGING THE BAD THINGS ABOUT THEM. IT IS NOT OUR PLACE TO STICK AROUND UNTIL THEY DO CHANGE.

13. IT IS COMPLETELY OK TO CHOOSE TO STEER CLEAR OF PEOPLE WITH DIFFERING VIEWS AS YOU, ESPECIALLY IF THOSE VIEWS INSINUATE THAT YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS LESS VALUABLE THAN SOMEONE ELSE.

14. FINDING A GOOD CHURCH THAT FEEDS YOUR SPIRIT IS ESSENTIAL TO A HAPPY AND HEALTHY CHRISTIAN LIFE.

15. TIKTOK IS ADDICTIVE.

16. I WILL FOREVER SAY THIS: MAKE SURE YOU CHECK AND CHANGE YOUR OIL IN YOUR CAR REGULARLY! 

17. GIFTS ARE NOT ALWAYS PHYSICAL. GIVING THE GIFT OF TIME IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN MANY PEOPLE ADMIT.

18. I HAVE WITNESSED MIRACLES

24. IT FEELS GOOD TO MAKE
​A DIFFERENCE IN MY COMMUNITY.

25. OUR SCHOOLS AND CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES NEED MORE FUNDING.

26. ADOPTING A DOG/PUPPY IS JUST AS MUCH OF A COMMITMENT AS A CHILD.

27. A BAD YEAR DOES NOT EQUAL A BAD LIFE. KEEP GOING. KEEP TRYING. KEEP FIGHTING. YOUR BREAKTHROUGH COULD BE AROUND THE CORNER.

20. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO ON MORE VACATIONS.

21. CONTENT CREATION IS HONESTLY ONE OF MY PASSIONS, EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE A TON OF FOLLOWERS, SUBSCRIBERS, OR FANS.

22. THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT OF USE IN COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

23. YOUNG DOES NOT EQUAL DUMB.
