23 Pieces of Life Advice from a 23-Year-Old

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I like to share my thoughts. A teenager might think I’ve got it all figured out, and a 50-year-old might think I know nothing. However, I’ve got some things to say and you may or may not find wisdom in these things. 



  1. People’s opinions only matter if you value it.
  2. Sometimes you need to just do nothing all day to reset your brain.
  3. Compliments go a long way even simple ones.
  4. Being shy is a waste of time.
  5. Sometimes letting someone have their way in an argument is the best move.
  6. Patience pays off especially when making big purchases.
  7. You like what you like and you shouldn't feel bad about it if other people think it's weird.
  8. The definition of family can be redefined.
  9. Some grief doesn't go away. It's just carried.  
  10. Hiding something about your own life for the sake of other people’s reputation is hard to deal with.
  11. Things tend to work out the way they're supposed to.
  12. Finding a relaxing hobby can help you cope with just about anything.
  13. There is wisdom in Harry Potter that reveals itself to you as you get older.
  14. Cleaning and organizing your living space may be just what you need when you're feeling anxious.
  15. Being afraid to go see the doctor (of any kind) for fear of embarrassment is a waste of precious time.
  16. Going to therapy does not mean you are crazy and it can really help you change your life.
  17. As a young person, you get to learn how to identify people who mistreat you so as an adult, you know when to walk away from them.
  18. Taking care of your appearance isn't vain at all, it's a great way to boost your mood.
  19. All things in life need a good edit with peer review. Taking a step back and having someone else tell you what's missing can be very beneficial but remember that in the end, you get the final say.
  20. Struggling is temporary.
  21. Not everyone has to agree with you.
  22. Don’t overburden yourself because you’re afraid to tell someone no.
  23. Love your life and don’t overthink.
