7 Valuable Lessons I Learned Upon Reaching 20

1. You should never trust anyone but yourself.

You shouldn’t be trusting anyone. Because not everyone you are calling a friend is really a friend indeed. There are some like parasites that will be there when they need you but then when time comes they’ll just going to vanish quickly like the firefly that loses its light leaving you behind and alone. And it will stab you deeply as you put that trust to someone big-time and then they’ll just leave you hanging in times of need. Hence, you should only be giving all the trust to you and you alone. You should learn to be all by yourself without asking the help of others. Because at the end of the day, you are the only one who will sleep in your own bed.

2. You should not be finding love, wait for love to find you.

Love has its own perfect timing. Don’t rush things, just go with the flow. Although, there will be shortcomings from different people. Still, you’ll get to know someone, get close to them, bond with them and talk to them you’ll feel something really cool about them and you think that’s it, but don’t fret, that’s not love. They’re just a new friend, companion or a guide to your adult life. They will teach you some of their learnings in life for you learn more of what to do when it’s your time to shine. Don’t lose them. As to they could be your new set of friends to your more mature life.

Remember that karma is just around in the corner and you need to be careful on what you do and what you say. Also, you should treat everyone with respect. Know your limitations.

4. Patience is a truly a virtue.

There will come a time when people will challenge your patience, wherein people will release all their anguish to you till you explode, they will push you to your limits for them to see what’s the real you inside. so be on guard and save a lot of patience.
