1. To trust my intuition. You will always know deep down if someone is bad for you, if someone is doing you wrong. My first long term boyfriend was a cheating shit and I always doubted my intuition. I found out after we split that he virtually shagged everything with a pulse, and he had protested entirely too much when I'd voiced my doubts. I should've trusted the voice inside.
2. Those embarrassing photos will come back to haunt me. Destroy, destroy, destroy!
Holy shit! |
3. Alcohol is great. (See future post '5 things I learned in my 30s' to see how I feel about it now!)
4. Moving away from everyone I loved to explore the world (or the next few counties, in my case!) seemed a great idea in my youth. I regretted it in my 30s (which are still ongoing, I'm not that old yet) but that's for another post.
5. I had lousy taste in men right up until I was 29, when I met my husband and decided to give a nice guy a try :)
What did you learn in your 20s? (or any other decade.)
I learnt that all good things come to those who wait and sometimes you have to go through a load of shite times before you can appreciate the good times :o) I'd been cheated on by my 1st love which broke my heart I then ended up in the arms of an older man who treated me like shit and got me into debt but then met my current love at the place I used to work and it was one of those times when you 'just know' you're meant to be together :o)
ReplyDeleteAwww! I think you have to go through crap to really be thankful when you get a good 'un.
DeleteJames was so nice about 3 weeks in I had a serious conversation with myself about whether we should continue going out. Luckily I thought I deserved a nice guy for a change, and here we are!
