Today I have finally reached the end of my teen years! Happy birthday to me! After living 7,305 days I think I’ve picked up on a thing or two. I’ve compiled the best 20 lessons I’ve learned since I was brought to this Earth via stork.
1. Giving compliments never hurts!

4. Some people who come into your life have premeditated reasons.
5. You get impacted the most by people you’d never expect.
6. Your mom is probably right.
