Welp. I am another year older. In case you missed it, I turned 32 this past week. Thirty two, yet I still feel 16. I think that is a good thing? I have learned a few things in the past thirty-two years of my life and I thought it would be fun to share my wealth of knowledge.
Enjoy.
Thirty-two Things in Thirty-two Years:
- Do NOT go into a tanning bed.
- Haters gonna hate. Just be yourself.
- Coasters will, in fact, prevent you from ruining a table; use one.
- If something feels wrong, it probably is.
- When you have to choose between being a jack ass or being kind, be kind.
- You only get one face. Wear sunscreen and start a skincare routine ASAP.
- Eat as much macaroni as you can, while you can.
- Life is too short for cheap whiskey.
- Life is too short to hold a grudge.
- To quote Kenny Chesney, “You find out who your friends are”.
- Time is money. If something will make your life easier, pay for that service or item.

- A little exercise won’t kill you.

- The best friends are the ones you don’t talk to regularly, but when you do it is like you never missed a beat.

- Nobody is perfect and everyone has skeletons in their closet.
- Do what makes you happy.
