Things You Realise As You Get Older

As you've grown and gotten older and wiser, what have you really learned? Mind you, you have to answer without taking academics in account. 

I'll go first. 

1. The quality of friends and social groups matter way more than the quantity. Let the circle be shorter, by that the trustworthy people show up.

2. Material things don't matter in the face of time spent with your loved ones. 

3. It's okay to say no to the things that bring out the worst in you. 

4. People pleasing takes one nowhere. One's feelings and emotions would always come second with people pleasing. 

5. Mental health should and must be a priority. 

6. Being positive 24/7 isn't sustainable, it's okay to have a bad and rise again.
