Other than actually being able to jam out to Taylor Swifts song, I have never really looked forward to turning 22. In my mind, after turning 21, every other birthday was just another year. But honestly, this year is holding more for me than I could have ever imagined. So far this year, I have got my dream job. I have made more memories in a single summer than I have in previous years. I am graduating at the end of the year. Ya'll...this year is monumental!
Here are 22 thoughts from 22 years:
1. I believe surrounding yourself with Godly, uplifting, and encouraging friends is the best medicine.
2. I love music. Music is good for the soul. All kinds. At all times. For every mood.
3. Coffee and sweet tea are requirements to make it through the day.
4. Doors close and doors open. God has a funny way of doing things, but it all works out in His perfect timing. Praise Him in the hallway.
5. Travel and travel often. This summer has been the summer of travels and it has been the best one yet.
6. I love when life slows down and I can take time to admire the beauty of the little things. The stars. The setting sun. Storms. All the cliche things.
7. I fully believe you must treat yo'self. Buy the makeup. Go to that concert. Eat the ice cream. Get pampered.
8. Invest in bath bombs. Take time at least once a week to fill the tub up and relax.
9. Go on a mission trip. At age 22, I have been to Nicaragua for mission work three different times and it has totally and completely changed my life.
10. I am so thankful to be involved in a church where I am encouraged and uplifted. I am equally thankful that several of my dearest friends attend church with me.
11. Go outside! Whether you move yourself from the couch to the hammock outside with a book, or you are going for a run. Take time to enjoy the outdoors, one of God's most beautiful creations.
12. I am thankful to own my very own small business where I get to be creative and share that creativity with the world in the form of t-shirts and tank tops.
13. Writing can double as therapy. I write all the time. I journal my thoughts and feelings. I make to-do list. I document the all little details that I adore in life.
14. Pray. Study your bible. Find a small group.
15. Know your self-worth. Do not let anyone belittle you. Do not settle for anything less than what you deserve.
16. Rid your life of anything that is toxic. Also know that toxic doesn't necessarily mean cruel and uncaring. It is also people or things that do not encourage you to be the best YOU.
17. Be DEPENDENT on God. When you rely fully on God and His plan for your life, everything is much easier.
18. Be happy with yourself. Do not let your happiness depend on someone else.
19. Be uplifting to. Compliment others. "If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it." -Ruthie Lindsey
20. Children are the absolute best. They are so funny. Their words are genuine. They are so loving. Wednesdays are my favorite days because I can walk into church and so many of those kids come running to give me hugs.
21. Jaclyn Hill is perfection. I totally fan girl over her.
22. Pretty Little Liars will NEVER END.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22!
