Things I've learnt in my 20's

So today I turn 24 and I couldn't be happier about it, I'm one of those people who doesn't like being an uneven age. I thought it would be interesting to really look back through the past three years and see how much I've learnt not only about myself but some pretty important life lessons that I'm sure we all go through at some point. I by no means think I'm wise at all by writing this post either believe me I'm still pretty naive in a lot of aspects but who isn't? 

• Being confident is vital in life.
• Doing what you want in your work instead of what you think you should be doing will become what your most proud of. 
• Break ups really hurt. 
• Things really do happen for a reason. 
• Cutting out people is hard but necessary. 
• Health is more important than money could ever be. 
• Never let somebody tell you what you should be doing with your life. 
• Everybody needs a rest once in a while. 
• People will do anything to make you feel bad in order to make themselves feel good. 
• Technology breaks, back everything up...twice.
