Facebook likes or number of Twitter and Instagram followers are just numbers.

Although lets admit, it does affect our self-esteem occasionally.

Buy those goddamn lipsticks.

I was so fond of lipsticks and I admit it is my current guilty pleasure.

Whenever I pass by a makeup store, I check for a new shade.

And I buy one when I want one.

So whats my point?

Point is, youll only be 24 once so make the most out of it.

Its not wrong to reward yourself every once in a while.

Let go and Let God.

Ive gone through break ups, Ive lost friends, Ive been hurt countless times it happens.

Grudges are heavy to carry.

And you cant expect yourself to be able to move forward without letting go of these baggages.

Forgive them even if theyre not sorry.

Forgive yourself, too.

Let go and leave everything to God.

Real friends are forever.

You may lose friends but I tell you, the real ones willalwaysstay.

Theyve got your back, always.

Choose your battles wisely.

And give that petty drama a break!

Celebrate victories whether small or big.

Im done cleaning my drawer and arranging my folder.

Ice cream, shall we?

Stop trying to like everyone.

Not everyone will like you, but it doesnt matter.

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

I know what youre thinking, that I got this line from Kelly Clarksons song.

It does sound very cliche but its true.

Things doesnt always go as planned but life doesnt stop there.

Life is not about the bad things that happen to you but how you handled them.

Just keep on moving forward.

And know that youre stronger than you think.

Change for the better.

Its not too late to change yourself for something that will grow you as a person.

Embrace change, you will not regret it.

Its not wrong to just drink home made coffee instead of drinking Latte in Starbucks once in a while.

Heres a tip, instead of buying expensive coffee, shoot the money in your piggy bank.

Exercising sucks but you should, anyway.

A simple walk in the morning for half an hour (or just make it one!)

But if you have the time and money to do more, then why arent you doing it!?

Opportunities come but might not last.

So grab it now.

Dont forget to say thank you.

People are so receptive to your genuine thankfulness, and believe me, they will remember it.

Learn to say no to parties or next time.

Its good to party once in a while but if you dont feel like going, then dont.

Spend time with yourself, too.

Grab a popcorn, watch your favorite movie, and just be clingy to your bed.

Dress up and down at least once a week.

Ive had this habit of wearing a cute dress every Wednesday, and not wearing any makeup every Thursday.

Its fun and the same time, fulfilling.

Maintain a daily to-do list, a journal, a planner and just write everything down.

Especially if youre like me who keeps on forgetting things.

Ask for help and learn something continuously.

Its okay to ask help and ask questions.

And learning is something that happens everyday.

Do not be afraid to fail, because failures will bring lessons.

Remember, falling happens by accident but staying on the ground is a choice.

Theres no place like home.

I am living an independent life and away from my parents.

But I still feel the same excitement over and over again whenever I go home.

If youre away from your home, never take the opportunities to go home for granted.

Youre not getting any younger, and neither are your parents.

Lets be realistic, they wont be with us forever.

Do things for them while you’re free to.

Tell them you love them while they can still hear.

Surprise them with gifts while they can still see.

Stand up for what you believe in.

We live in a society where wrong things are being normalized just because majority of people are doing it.

Remember this, just because it’s possible for you to, doesnt mean you should.

Serve God while you’ve got the option to and do all for His glory.

Although rewards here in earth are important, our rewards in heaven are way more important.

Dont give up on love.

Ive had past relationships which didnt work out but it doesnt mean itll always be like that forever.

Wait for the right time, and for the right person.

Remember that waiting is not sitting down and doing nothing.

Waiting is having the right attitude and preparing yourself until the right one comes along.

When I finished college, I was just 19.

But until now, I still havent.

So I cant afford to enroll myself, not yet.

You dont have to have everything figured out yet.

Everything will fall to its place at the right time.

Do not lose yourself trying to find it.

I know its easier said than done but just embrace your age and enjoy the ride.
