21 things I've learned from 21 years of my life

Hello everyone! Today it is my birthday and I decided that it would be interesting to write down some ideas, positives and inspiration which I've come across in last 21 years. Do you have your own list? Actually, it was really funny creating one, so maybe try it as well to see what you would put there.

1. listen to music when I'm in the shower (in the kitchen, in the living room, in my bedroom; but never in the streets, streets have their own music)
2. always check if my new flatmate is not pregnant (don't ask why this is on my list) and assure that my contract has break clauses
3. I don't put on weight if I eat a pack of crisps at 11pm (unless this becomes a new eating habit)
4. drinking alcohol before a family lunch (so at 11am) with all my super old relatives around me is usually not a good idea (only if you get drunk with your cousin, when it's more than one, it doesn't look so bad)
5. don't be ashamed for my music style and my dancing moves
6. never ever (!!!) use my phone when I'm drunk - because no matter how good idea it looks like during my drunkenness, I'll never see it the same way once I sober up
7. siblings mean more than it seems, let them know about it
8. I don't have to be famous by this point (even though it looks like that all other people my age are already outstanding)
9. it is always better to spend my free time by reading a good book rather than watching a crappy tv show (well, maybe unless I finally get a day off at work after a super busy week, but still, book is always better, right...)
10. I'm not sure if I'm even able to come up with 21 things I've learned, but I already know that I can't push it, sometimes it's also important to know how to simply wait
11. songs like 'Listen to the Man' and 'I Got a Name' are my favorites, no matter if I am just heartbroken or madly in love
12. sometimes it is good to get out of my comfort zone, because then the magic can happen (also, don't be disappointed when no magic comes, sometimes it's important to give it more than one shot)
13. not everything is just on Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat; it's good to keep updated on BBC, The Guardian or The New York Times
14. and also a fun fact - eating asparagus can influence the smell of urine (now when I think of it, it is not that funny as gross, but I found it really funny the first time when it happened to me!)
15. don't beat around the bush - at some point, today, tomorrow, in ten years - I will still have to get to the point
16. which brings me to honesty - try to be honest to myself, to my family, my friends, to everyone; even though sometimes it can get pretty ugly once I am straightforward
17. when it is sunny outside, get out, go for a walk with your friend, dog, cat, snake or just on my own
18. besides, don't google details from lives of my celebrity crushes and fantasize about my future life with them
19. it's nice to let myself to spend some of my earned money - it's called a natural money cycle which means that I can get an extra jumper no matter how many of them are already sitting in my closet
20. when people of the opposite sex look at me in the steers it doesn't necessarily mean that I have something between my teeth or my skirt is stuck in my tights
21. wear more colorful clothes and live like life is my dance floor (although sometimes it is easier to say it than actually do it)
