Today, is my 22nd birthday and I finally feel like I have experienced a lot that life has to offer. I know I am not old enough to fully say that yet, but I do think I can offer some valuable advice now. I don’t feel 22 though, to be honest I feel like I am still 21. When people ask you “do you feel older?” my response is usually no, because it’s just a number, but since turning 21 last year, I do feel older. I feel wiser, smarter, more confident, aren’t these all things that come with age?
I usually never post on Thursdays, my regular schedule has become weekends (Saturday, Sunday) only, but today is a special birthday post because I wanted to share 22 things i’ve learned by 22. Like I said, I think I can provide some valuable advice now.
Happy Birthday to me and anyone else sharing this birthday!
