Things I've learned in 2019

Happy new year!
2019 has been a big year for me, and after some reflection on the past 365 days here are some of the things that I’ve learned.

• Everything is temporary 

• It’s ok to be tired

• Always double check if it’s a dress-up party

• Sometimes the truth hurts

• Not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings doesn’t mean you shouldn’t express your own feelings

• Once you’ve been honest you’ve done your part

• You can’t control how someone feels or responds to what you say

• Never buy underwear for anyone but yourself 

• It’s ok to live in a woman’s body

• Food is not an option

• Self care is not selfish

• Your body is on your side

• You probably don’t need it even if it’s cheap

• In fact, you need way less than you think

• Follow your guts

• You can change your mind at any stage 

• You are not defined by what happened to you

• You are loved 

• It’s ok to start small

• All your plants will die

• You might be lonely but you’re not alone

• Nobody cares about how big your butt is

• Some people are shit but most people are nice

• Buy all the soap you need
