23 Things I’ve Learned in 23 Years

Amy McMillan

Oh Hi!

I've been thinking a lot about being 24 this year and the pressures that come with finding the right job, making money, having relationships and that "AM I DOING THE RIGHT THING?" Question that pops into my head about 20 times a day. Just thought I'd share the discussions I've had with my friends about the things I've learnt in 23 Years...really its like 6 years.. I really just thought about sandwiches and dogits until I was 17!

1. I MUST STILL BE GROWING- because i'm always hungry

2. The friends that you don't see all the time but are always there ARE THE ONES.

3. Just wear your weird random clothes amy. DO IT

4. It's okay sometimes to not be okay. Sad days happen to everyone you don't need a reason.

5. Really SHIT things can happen sometimes but maybe it's meant to be.

6. All you really do need is your MUM. She answers all your questions.

7. YOU have to show people your capabilities because so many are quick to point out your disability.

8. Being Deaf made me ME. Used to hate it as a child because of others, now its something I'm so proud of.

9. I REALLY LIKE FOOD... oh and sports!

10. Tights means not having to shave...SCORE.

11. LOVE is amazing but you sweat a lot and worry about that boy all the time. - Worth it tho.

12. When you finish school you actually LOVE learning all of a sudden! ...strange behaviour..

13. There actually is a way to combine art and business - digital media marketing ( they didn't tell me this at a-levels)

14. My wee small family is more than enough.

15. Giving to charity whether its money or time is imperative! We are the privileged ones to have the choice to do so.

16. Being content with the little things make me happier than anything.

17. All I really want in life...is a cuddle from PJ

18. REALLY REALLY LIKE FOOD - Time spent in the gym is spent wisely.

19. Being a woman is a complex thannnnng! But i'm a strong woman!

20. Looking after your mental health is a major thing and I need to do more of that...Take note.

21. Animals are just amazing - They make me SO Happy!

22. PAOLO NUTINI is just the best.... ugh.. what a man.

23. You spend to much time worrying about things that don't matter, your loved ones are the reason to get up in the morning.

Here..

This was harder than you think - 18 were food related before the editing process.. typing whilst eating a hot cross bun and a cuppa! It's those little things!

Thanks for reading my nonsense!

Till next time. x
