Chapter 9 - 27 Things I Learned Before I Turned 28

1. I am not a saint. I'm only human. I made a lot of mistakes in the past. I lost my trust to people and people lost trust in me. I didn't know that coming out in my comfort zone will change me. When I was happy I made a lot of stupid decisions and that's okay.

2. People come and go and so is your friends and even your first love. Learn to accept it.

3. Travel a lot. I wish I've done this in my early years.

23. You will meet a lot of people in the future that you could love so much. Stop worrying.

24. Read those trashy novels. It's like junkfood in the mind less intellect but oddly satisfying.

25. Listen to different genre of music. I've learned that Taylor Swift is not the only artist I can listen to. OPM is good.

26. When we go online and we scroll down to our social media accounts we tend to compare ourselves to different people. We scroll through the highlights of other people's awesome life we forget to see the highlight of our own life. Please stop doing that.

27. You are not going nowhere just because you're not in the place you want to be yet. Love yourself.
