#but at first i didnt want to answer it cause uugh retrospection

Team “be gay and do crimes” and “be ungovernable” etc. but I’m laughing that I’ve just realised you’re 29 and reblogged the “ask meme for people in their 30s” game yOU NAUGHTY CHILD (affectionate)

[it’s a bit silly that ask game had an age range in the first place but I thought it was funny I don’t think I ever really processed your age until right now]

Anyway, could we get some of your favourite life lessons that you learned in your 20s? Big or small. 🫶

Listen! Those questions were fun! Why would the over 30s only be allowed to have fun?? 😮‍💨 In any case I stopped feeling my age a long time ago, I consider myself a "young adult" whatever that age is 🤷🏾

As for lessons... I'm the kind of person that makes mistakes repeatedly and expects a different result so it takes me a long time to learn any lessons... But I have learnt some

- Don't do anything for anybody expecting something in return, it's not worth it. Do things cause you want to and if you don't want to don't do them

- Uterus owners, your period patterns can and WILL change throughout your life

- If you find a food that you really like to eat, learn how to cook it and you'll achieve instant happiness whenever you want

- Money is the cause of a big chunk of problems in the world so learn how to budget for your circumstances and to have control over your own

- Friends are, sadly, not forever. And there are people in your life that were never interested in being your friend

- Change sucks

- You cannot "fix" anybody. Mostly cause there are very few people in the world who are "broken". But yeah, you cannot mold someone into the person you expect them to be

- Physical activity is unfortunately good for mental health but that doesn't make it suck any less

And those are all the lessons that I think are important at this point in my life. I'll probably learn more things as I get older but I also don't have the intention to live very long 🤷🏾
