10 things that I'd had wanted to know in my 18s 😓📃

 

Almost ten years have passed since I finished high school 🏫🗓️, and still, I can remember all of those things that my head was thinking over and over again my insecurities and problems.

I didn't have someone to explain my problems or tell me about my insecurities, and nobody who can advise me over the things that happen when you are growing and facing new ages of your life.

So, If you are in yours 18s or not, this is a list of things, that I'd had wanted to know in my 18s, that I think you can use and follow it. 📝

1. Avoid discussing. You don't know that, but if you have always the reason or not, treat to avoid unnecessary discussions, this avoid you any conflict or problem in the future. The best thing that you can do is let it pass.

2. Ask for forgiveness and apologies. the best way to avoid resentment and hate is by apologizing to the other person if you have or don't the fault. When you accept your failures you recognize your debilities and calm the ambient.

3. Is not necessary to know everything. Always will have people who have more experience than ours, this is not necessarily a bad thing, you always can ask for help, and know new things every day.

4. Living the present. Let the past behind, new days are coming and a better "you" is yet to be discovered, if you always bear the weight of your problems this does not allow you to go-ahead

5. Do not overthink. when you face a problem and don't have an idea to resolve it, take a break, your brain will thank you.

6.  Let the things happen. Don't force the things to occur on you, instead, let the things flow naturally. You will discover that things happen or not for a reason.

7. Don't push yourself towards perfection. you can frustrate and surrender if you continually search the "perfection". You're a human being, is normal to take one day or two to resolve the problems.

8. Your body is your best partner (care about it). Love your body means to care about it, don't forget it, when you have a healthy body you will have a healthy brain. 

9. Accept and embrace failure. Every step that you can do, is in a certain way, destined for failure. you will find several difficulties in your path. So you can accept the idea that this can happen and approach it. The failures teach us how can we improve and grow, is a wise master in our lives.

10. Enjoy the path. You only live once. 🚶🏻

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
