Lessons that I learnt too late this year

 It's that time of the year again.

Where everyone feels obligated to sum up their whole year in just a few sentences, goals you achieved, what you could not achieve, what you want to achieve next year.

But I find that a bit depressing, maybe because I never really had the year that I would have hoped for or maybe I never really wrote goals of the year for myself and never took it seriously.

New years resolutions have not really been my thing.

But I would however like to have a look at the lessons I learnt the hard way this year.

First one which actually tops the list, do not let yourself be a doormat.

I know it’s difficult to not be that, pleasing people is like second nature to people like us.

But, at what expense ?

You just give and you never get. Which is also fine to an extent but when you never even get recognized for that, walk away.

Second, if they forgot about you, you probably don’t matter.

Seems like an honest mistake but not always.

If you keep finding yourself feeling left out, better to stay out of it all together.

Might be a controversial one but, stop looking for good in people when they have repeatedly shown you it isn’t there.

I think it has more to do with my own self, because bruh my mistake.

Just like thinking of the worst case scenario is like saving yourself from the trouble of disappointment, considering the worst in people is like rewarding yourself when they don’t actually turn out like that.

Last but not the least,  ALWAYS prioritize yourself.

Cannot emphasize it enough.

Take yourself to a nice place. Get mani pedi. Eat your favourite food. Do things YOU like but life is too short to be doing things you don’t like.
