16 Things I Learned while I was 16

It's been a week since I turned 17 so I thought today would be the perfect day to share the 16 things I learned while I was 16..

1) Some people just aren't meant to stay. That does not diminish the time you spent together or mean it is no longer of value, it simply means that you have grown and that with that it is time for you to move on and find someone that compliments the new you.

2) Not every "Sorry" deserves an "It's okay" in response. Telling someone "It's okay" suggests that they can mistreat you again.

3) Life is too short and difficult to spend it with negative or boring people. Surround yourself with people who both make you happy and push you, they make the journey easier and the load lighter.

4) Stop being so negative towards yourself. You are beautiful, your body is a source of life- simply the packaging of a beautiful soul- it's appearance does not define you.

5) Don't swim oceans for people that wouldn't even step over a puddle for you.

6) Some relationships just were not meant to be. Some people are just not meant to be together; the realisation of this may hurt, but the pain will pass and you will move on.

7) Make sure to tale the time to show your family and friends how much you appreciate them; they are there with you through the good and the bad, the least you could do is show that you are grateful.

8) It's okay to be sad sometimes; it's okay to be sad ,in some way, all of the time. What is not okay is when you let the sadness consume and control you.

9)You have to respect yourself enough to leave anything that does not make you happy and is no longer helping you grow. Do not limit yourself for the sake of others.

10) Many boys will tell you that you're special. Only give your heart to the one who makes you feel that way.

11) You cannot let other people make your decisions for you. This is your life; you have to control it.

12) Not everything has to be perfect. Some things were made to be messy.

13) The small things really are the most important.

14) There is a difference between kissing someone for the sake of it and kissing someone because it's what your heart wants. Only do the latter.

15) Life is too short to pretend to hate things. Being a negative person does not make you mature and edgy, it makes you boring.

16) And finally the past and the mistakes you have made do not define you. You have to forgive yourself before you can truly move on. It's difficult, but not impossible.
