30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30

So here's the thing, I should be focusing right now, yet my mind is drifted to ten thousand miles away. Ah, yes, I am so unfocused! Here's to explain - oh, me and my excuses - I went to bed with some weird thoughts in my head and dreamt of this "flirtatious charming" guy I have never met nor knew. I'm getting eccentric, right? Anyway, I was obsessed with this post on The Huffington Post about the 30 things women should have done or knew by the age of 30. I'm 6 years away, knowing I just blew that 24 candles last weekend. Six years isn't a long stretch away but I'm sure I'll be enjoying my singledom, coupledom, marriage life (not gonna have a "dom" here, unless it's going to end up being a doom! And yes - I'm thinking extremely far now!). Here's an adaption from the original post on Glamour Magazine: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30. If you're past 30, do not worry, it's a measure of how much you have achieved in those lovely years, and if you're 30 and below, digest the message and see how much more you could fulfill in life. As for me, I shall make my life the prettiest and best, regardless of how old I am, because I know I have all the support I need and the unmeasurable love the beautiful people around me offer.

What I've Learnt

Something inspirational and something that reflects my year so far... Came across this piece from a friend's post on Facebook. We can never stop learning because it's through learning that we know who we want to be, who we can be and who we will be. Enjoy reading.


I've Learned...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. 
All you can do is be someone that can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned that you can do some thing in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. 

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that money is a lousy way to keep score.
I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthday's you've celebrated.
I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned that no matter good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
