10 Things I Wish I'd Known Growing Up



1. You wont feel like a 'grown up' as soon as you're 18.

2. You still won't feel like one at 26.

3. Do NOT pluck your eyebrows! Ask advice from someone older, or go a salon.

4. Be brave, nothing bad will happen.

5. You won't care about these embarrassing moments for that long! 

6. You are worth more than this. (Specifically to myself aged 21/22.)

7. You will be getting plenty more tattoos.

8. Everyone moans right now, but one day they'll thank you for all the photos you're taking.

9. Stop worrying. It doesn't even matter, seriously!

10. Some people let you down in a big way. It's okay to just move on, you don't have to forgive them.




Ohhh if I could go back..

  4. I used to go to a salon to get my eyebrows plucked but still got it wrong, as having thin eyebrows was the fashion at the time. BIG MISTAKE! Now they won't grow back! "Stop worrying" is a great advice. As we get older we realise it's useless to worry about things that sometimes we don't even have control over. :) x

  5. All points are very true, so hard not to worry about every little thing when you are younger. Also right about the eyebrow thing!

  8. Thankfully I never over plucked my eyebrows and I'm so grateful! And your right, I'm 22 and can't imagine feeling grown up!

  13. As a 15 year old I really appreciate this post, but easier said right? And the eyebrow thing...too late :) They will never be the same again

  14. #1 is so relevant! At 20 I still feel like a 15 year old, I don't think I'll ever feel like a real grown up!

  15. I wish I had known to not over pluck my eye brows too! Lol and so true about the whole "not feeling like an adult at 18" I'm 22 and still don't feel like an adult sometimes lol!
