25 rules for life

I know I haven't written for over 2 months and I think turning 25 yesterday is giving me the kick in the pants to come back to my commitments. This blog isn't the only thing that needs to get rebooted but that's my business. For now here are 25 lessons that I've found very useful in my short life as it pertains to love, career and Self.

1. walk whenever you get the chance

2. don’t let people push you around/practice standing up for yourself

3. you don’t have to do a single thing you don’t want to

4. it’s better to be overdressed than it is to be underdressed

5. unfollow people that make you feel crappy

6. keep a physical journal or write in your notes
