My 27 Lessons at 27

I turned 27! and I’m back home after 4 years so I got to celebrate with my family. This year I decided to write about the lessons I’ve learnt so far. It took me about 15 minutes to get these together, and I thought I should share. 😌

1. When you ask the universe for something, please do not accept mediocre.

2. Set boundaries, people treat you how you allow them to.

3. How you speak to/about yourself is very important and really matters.

4. Do not wait to be at your lowest to identify the solid pillars(people) in your life. 

5. Quality over quantity 

6. Be intentional with everything you do 

7. Categorising Natural plants as illegal drugs is BS 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

8. Do not stress over things you can’t change/ control

9. Don’t be a sheep, the world is a social construct, live by your truth

10. Spirituality over religion.

11. Some people may not understand your opinion and that’s okay. There is beauty in diversity. 

12. Never judge a book by the cover, be kind and respectful to everyone. 

13. The term friend and the meaning of friendship is used too loosely 

14. Sshhh 🤫 allow people to enjoy things they enjoy doing! Eg post on social media, no one is forcing you to do it too! keep your criticism to yourself 🙄

15. In fitness- Discipline and Consistency is KEY

16. Never say the words “I Love You” if you don’t mean them

17. Learn to accept things for the reality of what they are and not what they could be

18. Your happiness is not dependent on others, if you are broken.. take your time to heal instead of projecting your traumas to others 

19. You don’t have to respond/react to everything sometimes silence is an enough response/reaction and sometimes you just need to listen! 

20. Learn to say “No” when you want to

21. Our experiences build our character 

22. Travel and see the world from your eyes

23. No one is perfect so recognise your flaws n consciously change what you would like to.

24. Don’t wait to learn from your own mistakes, learn from other people’s mistakes too

25. Show me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are is a concept that is dead to me🤷🏽‍♀️

26. The concept Opposites attract doesn’t apply in a romantic relationship. 

27. Manifest! manifest! manifest! Do the work and the universe will listen.


 How do you feel about birthdays? Do you like to celebrate? How do you like to celebrate?

Damned is the heart

You don’t love me, You love the idea of loving me,  You love the idea of having me in your life You love the idea of “this is who is right for me” Damned is the heart I mean…  I’m amazing! Im a lucky find, You find comfort in me You have peace of mind and all that good stuff you would want from your woman  I’m everything you want  Damned is the heart Because….  I’m not everything you need I don’t give you the butterflies  I don’t fill up your mind with ME I don’t make your heart skip a beat  I just don’t cut it…  Damned is the heart Well… You try to hold on  You try to do right by me You try to be committed to me You try to choose me over and over again  You try to be happy  You TRY AND FAIL because I’m just not the one  Damned is the heart  Random writes by Miss Carol
