You are at the point in your life where and
when you feel that you are 100% an adult.
You earn your own money, you support
your family, you pay your bills (and have
consistently done it on time), you clean
your own apartment, you buy your own
stuffs , you create life-changing thoughts
and decisions in your shower (or your
choice), you do your laundry, you manage
your schedule (juggling work, family, love
and recreation) and you are 25.
And then there are moments in being in
this quarter of a century that you
understand you are at least a little wiser
than yesterday and so much more than
365 days ago. You’ve learned that:
1.Family is everything . This is
something you’ve heard countless times
from your parents and other grownups
when you were just a few feet old but
you’ve really learned its essence to the
core of your being when you’ve spent
years away from home while trying to
chase after what the future holds for you.
You learned that your mother really is the
superwoman in your life without the red
and yellow costume you’ve drawn and
imagined her to be when you submitted
your second grade homework. You learned
that your sibling is the greatest ally you
can have, no matter your differences. You
learned of the grave difficulty your parent/
s has/have gone through just so you can
have a comfortable life after receiving
your paychecks that were earned through
a month’s worth of petty issues at work,
fatigue, emotional distress, questioning of
self-worth and so much more but you still
have to show up because yeah, this is life.
You respect your parents more because of
that. You learned that at the end of the
day, the sweetest idea will always be that
you will always have somewhere to go and
your most favorite people in the world are
there waiting for you.
2.The lesser your circle, the lesser
your stress . Over time since college, you
have learned that not everyone who calls
you “sis” on Facebook is a true friend in
the real world. You learned that not all
people who post collages of your photos
together on Instagram on your birthday
are people you can count on. You learned
that no matter how many hundreds of
followers and ‘likers’ you have on social
media, you can only count the realest
people with just your hands (or plus your
toes, if you’re lucky). You learned that if it
came to a crazy point where you had to
delete and just leave those who you really
think will stay with you in real life, your
News Feed will only consist of close family
and a few friends.
3.God is an amazing God . You learned
that He has been guiding you all along and
that your wishes and dreams have all been
in a way or another, granted – in the way
you wanted it to be and sometimes, in a
way better than you have imagined. You
learned to surrender everything to Him –
your disappointments, sorrows, regrets,
guilt, dreams and successes. You learned
that with Him in your heart, everything will
be okay.
4. Your lover is your best -est friend.
You learned that there’s really not a
constant need for girl talks and all that
because you have the world by your side.
You have the greatest confidant in
someone you call your boyfriend. You
learned that there’s no point hiding the
most authentic you from him as if he’s
really meant to stay, he will have to make
do of the real you anyway. You learned
that that person who stuck with you
through thick and thin is worth imagining
forever with. You learned that though love
is not measured in the years you spent
together, the years will always be
intangible proof of your solid partnership
against the world and that it will always be
a source of pride for you.
5. You will never be truly ready . You
will never be ready to go through another
job interview. You will never be ready to
relocate. You will never be ready to attend
that high school reunion. You will never be
ready for family life. You will never be,
what with your very idealistic expectations
from yourself and from the world. But
you’ve learned that fact so even if it’s as
scary as hell, you learn to brave the
chance and pray with all your heart that it
will be worth it.
6. Travellingis something you owe
yourself. You learned that there’s more to
travelling than simply spending your hard-
earned cash for some flamboyant
pleasures of the world. You learned that
you learn more of yourself as you travel.
You learned that there’s a bigger world of
possibilities outside your little space of
comfort. You learned that you travel to
have your mind and soul grow with you –
that you have to do this as a spiritual,
mental and emotional hibernation from
everything that’s keeping you weighed
down. You learned that you deserve it.
7.Money can always be earned. As much
as you’ve learned the value of money
when you became a part of the working
force in your country (or overseas), you’ve
also learned its little value when compared
to more important things like family, self-
love and spirituality. You see now how
little luster money has in your eyes and
how it pales when beside these other
needs or goals in life. You can always earn
money. Anytime, anywhere. Memories can
never be that way when you’ve chosen
money over it.
8. LVs and LOUBOTINS are not
investments. You learned that it’s so much
worth your sweat and tears to put your
money into real investments like building
your dream house, purchasing your dream
car, having an insurance or saving it all up
in the bank. You learned that you’d rather
have a more worthwhile ‘show’ of
something you can brand your life
achievement than flaunt something you
can wear for a few years and in very
infrequent instances.
9. Your greatest asset will always be a
GOOD HEAD on your shoulders. You
learned that to be sexy, it doesn’t require
you to strip. NOT AT ALL. You learned that
being smart is so much more important
than spending your time trying to have
(and going gaga) over Tiwa Savage pretty
face or Nicki minaj’s ass . You’ve learned
to spend more of your precious time
sharpening both hemispheres of your brain
– with some stalking in between, but still.
10. NOT everyone is go in to be nice
but you don’t have to be bitter yourself. As
much as you want to live in a perfect
world, you will always come across people
who seem to do nothing but burst
someone’s bubble. You have consistently
crossed paths with these people but you
have learned either to have a safe
distance from them or have learned to just
simply eradicate them in your life. You
learned that you don’t have to join their
wagon to be equal or feel better for
yourself. You have realized that you love
and respect yourself to a degree that you
have to protect yourself from these
unhealthy people. Instead, you learned to
make the opposite of them out of yourself.
You learned that the world is too beautiful
not to have beautiful people. So you try to
inspire, motivate and move by living your
life the most positive way you can.
