25 things I’ve learned in 25 years

(in no particular order)
1. Laugh often.
2. Being happy begins with inner peace.
3. Music is what feelings sound like.
4. The best place to get lost is in a book.
5. Life isn’t easy but it can be simple.
6. Friends are the family you get to choose.
7. Nothing is more valuable than a strong, loving family. Remember your roots and appreciate them.
8. People > things
9. There’s no such thing as giving to someone who can give nothing back. Selfless acts feed your soul.
10. Keep looking up. Always.
11. Take chances. Make mistakes. Learn.
12. Forgive yourself the way you forgive others.
13. Make lists.
14. Find a hobby that doesn’t require electricity. Bonus points if it involves real human interactions.
15. Stay active.
16. You can grow older and still not grow up.
17. Dream. Wish. Believe. Hope.
18. Change is good. The harder it is, the better you will be for it.
19. There is beauty everywhere. Notice it.
20. Be passionate.
21. There is a light within us all. Only you can decide to keep it lit or put it out.
22. This life is a gift. This world is a gift. Treat it with care. It’s the only one we get.
23. You don’t have to settle. It doesn’t have to be what it is.
24. Every person you meet has something to teach you.
25. Love yourself.

and because it wouldn't be a birthday post without the extra bonus one...
26. If nobody thought wishfully, nothing cool would ever happen.
