22, is a very young age to write an article about learning from life, you all might think that in this age, a person usually and gradually just start to experience from life , learning from it is still feels far away. I don’t claim to know everything about life because at this age we’re all figuring things out as we move ahead with every step but what I’ve experienced in 22 years I’m going share that today.
The first thing I’ve learned that not everything deserves your energy, Days or months ago I care a lot about people more than myself and at last I always ended up cheated or ignored by them. Even, I was so much concerned about them that I used to overthink a lot, what they think, what they say, why they behaved that way bla-bla.. Bro, Nobody actually cares. At the end of the day it will always be you for yourself. Nobody will come to make you feel good.
First learning- Always treat yourself as a first priority and you’ll never get hurt.
I’m a child who always used to believe that If I’m kind and caring to other, they will be the same with me. That is a false belief. Life has taught me that No, not everyone has the same level of kindness and honesty as you. People will hurt you anyway! They will only treat you the way they want. It’s you who you are, don’t expect others to behave in a certain way that you do. But never give up on your kindness because of them. Always be who you are!
Second Learning – Be kind, but don’t expect it in return.
Self-love is the biggest power a person can earn from their life. Prioritize your feelings first over others. Prioritize your comfort instead of comforting others. Never say “yes” to someone while you want to say no. I’m the person who always used to put others before me. But no, Understand that that your feelings matter too. Taking care of yourself is not selfishness but necessary.
Third Learning – Self-Love is the best form of love which can never hurt you
Nothing lasts forever, Not good days and not even bad days. There are always phases and times where you feel extremely down in life that it you always feel stuck, lost and drained emotionally. Everything in life seems out of track and out of control. But no baby, nothing lasts forever. These days are like “Maya” that comes out to test you and it comes to make you stronger. Always stay positive in your life. Life will always treat you the way you treat it.
Fourth learning – Even nights are not permanent, how can a person’s hard time be permanent?
The most important and biggest learning I had that friendship and relations never work when there is a one-sided effort. Don’t ever try hard to hold on to something that doesn’t try to hold you back. Those who love you truly, those who cares about you truly, will always stay with you. Forced connection never last. For those who leaves? they don’t meant for you they come to your life just to teach you a lesson.
Fifth Learning – Never push relations with one-sided force .
