Your teenage years and early 20s can be more than difficult. However, I have found that one of the best things to help you along is the feeling of love. Love comes in so many different forms, each one just as important as the last. So, in celebration of that love, here are five things you should definitely fall in love with before you turn 25:
5) Another person. Heartbreak is definitely at the top of worst feelings, but I genuinely believe that you should experience it once before your 25 because you will learn more than you ever thought. You grow as a person, learning how to take another’s emotions into consideration before you make a decision. So go for it…before you’re 25 make that scary jump and try it out because I promise you, no matter what happens, it is worth it.
4) A celebrity. Okay maybe not “in love” but you definitely need to solidify a celebrity crush. Pretty sure you get bonus points if it someone from your childhood. (This goes for athletes and really anyone you look up to as well.)
3) Some place you have never been before. Wanderlust is good for your heart and soul. Fall in love with the stories of far away places and do everything in your power to get there some day. There is something so fulfilling with being hungry for adventure, so just take it a step further and fall in love with adventuring.
2) Your friends. The people you hold close are your backbone, lifeline, and base. Your friends are the people who have seen you at your highs and lows, your best and worst moments, and it has never mattered because they are still there loving you at the end. All that being said, these are the people you need to fall platonically in love with.
1) Yourself. There is no need to be so hard on yourself. So stay strong, stand back up, and keep walking. Open your eyes to the absolutely incredible person looking back at you in the mirror. There is no other person quite like you and that is pretty awesome.
