Things that happened when I turned 26

I turned 26 recently. When I was thinking about how I feel about this age, what I learned in my life till this time, so many things crossed my mind and I just wanted to share it with you

Here are the things which came across my mind:

  • My friends are getting engaged and married and some of them are celebrating their child’s first birthday. What?? Where am I? (Climbing towards my career goals)
  • Not feeling like attending any of the marriages and occasions just to avoid answering this question “When is your big day?”
  • Taking care of health is very important. I did some exercises for one day and let my body rest for one month.
  • Planning self-care routines before bedtime.
  • Realised that whatever matters at my early ages are worth nothing now
  • Thinking of my childhood dreaming about growing old and this 26-year-old me not dreaming but living in present.
  • Planning about future is essential but skipping the present time is not a good idea. Live in present is not a bad idea anymore
  • Don’t you have a consistent sleep routine still? Say goodbye to that mobile before reaching your cloud beds
  • Want to become more productive but still figuring out a way to wake up early without hitting that damn snooze
  • Looking at some actor and actress who are younger than me and wondering, Did I become too old or they are too young to act? Maybe I should stop thinking that I am a child
  • Realised that being alone doesn’t mean being lonely but means a little me time. I truly enjoy that
  • Stopped crying as much as I did when I am younger
  • Feeling happy that I am financially independent to manage my expenses on my own
  • The amount of happiness which I got when I realised I am the only responsible person for all of my emotions
  • Actually, I am not worried about growing old because I started looking for happiness in each and everything I am doing.
  • Realised quality of friends is more important than the quantity. You cannot share your personal feelings with each and everyone whom you are assuming as a friend. Grow up and be careful in picking up your friends.
  • I am satisfied with what I have and I am not chasing anything but just following my passion.
  • Do what you really want to do and what you love. Your life will become more meaningful and your sleep will be more peaceful
  • Realised forgetting things is the greatest gift to humans (only for sometimes)
  • Planning for Annual health check-ups
  • Planning for family tours
  • Trying to plan my time and be organized
  • Planning my future life
  • Started enjoying my present moments so that my future self will also be happy about being in the present
  • I am more close to 30 instead of 20.

Me: I am matured now
Also Me: No more jokes. please

If you can relate any of these things or thoughts to yourself, comment below and let me know. I am eagerly waiting to get in touch with like-minded people.

Stay Happy!! Stay Awesome!!
