Three Life Lessons I Learned in 2017

EDIT: I've decided to make this my last post of the year. I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season and I'll see you guys in 2018. Which at the time of typing this, is in two days lol. Thank you so much for all the support on the blog this year, it is highly appreciated. Lots of love! 

It's that time of the year where bloggers churn out seasonal and end-of-year content so I understand if you're rolling your eyes at my very typical post title.Nevertheless, you should read it. You just might take something out of it 😊

2017 was definitely not my best year. Like I just want it to go away you know? And yes, the start of a new year isn't going to make all my problems vanish magically but there's just something about a fresh start that's so appealing.

The year didn't go like I wanted it to or like I planned but that's okay. That's life for you, right? 2017 was a year of learning, unlearning and growing for me. And for that, I'm really grateful. I have way more than three lessons but this post is going to be long as hell if I do that lol. So let's dive into it, shall we?

God Should Be Number One// I know not everyone that reads my blog believes in God so if you don't, you can skip this one. I'm very guilty of subconsciously thinking I can do everything by myself. I tend to try to do things my way then when it doesn't work out, then I turn to God to help me. It's not even intentional you know? It's just something I noticed about myself and boy, am I glad that I did.

God should be number one, He shouldn't be your last resort. You should always go to Him first because, without Him, you can't really do anything. It's silly to believe you can do it all by yourself. 

I Am Enough// I've mentioned many times on here that I have a habit of people-pleasing. It's definitely gotten a lot better this year thankfully. This is partly due to the fact that I remind myself that I am enough when I find myself slipping into people-pleaser mode. 

I am enough. I don't need to bend over to fit anyone's idea of what I should be like. All the weird ass things about me are what complete me. And no matter what I do, it's impossible for everyone to like me and that's totally okay. 

What's Yours Will Be Yours //  I found this quote on Instagram a few weeks back and it sums up all I would say perfectly. What's yours will be yours guys. When I catch myself stressing out and worrying, I remember this quote and it helps me calm down. 

I love this quote so much, I think it's from the Quran but
I'm not so sure. 

These are some of the things that I learned this year. How about you? Any special lessons?
