27 Things I've Learned By 27

  1. Healing isn’t linear. You’ll revisit lessons more than once—but that doesn’t mean you’re failing.

  2. Your boundaries are not up for debate. Protecting your peace is not rude—it’s self-respect.

  3. You can outgrow people you love. Growth sometimes means grieving someone who's still alive.

  4. Rest is productive. Your worth isn’t measured by how tired you are.

  5. You won’t always get closure. Sometimes you have to accept the apology you never received.

  6. Peace > attention. The loudest rooms aren’t always the ones you belong in.

  7. You can start over as many times as you need. Reinvention is your right.

  8. Being misunderstood is not your burden. Let your actions speak and move on.

  9. Your gut is rarely wrong. Listen to your body—it notices energy shifts before your brain does.

  10. You teach people how to treat you. Consistency in how you show up sets the tone.

  11. It’s okay to want more. From life, love, friendships, or money—desire isn’t greed.

  12. Confidence is quiet. It’s not always loud outfits and bold moves—it’s showing up without needing applause.

  13. Say what you mean, and mean it. Being clear is kinder than being passive.

  14. Let people leave. Detachment can be the highest form of love.

  15. Your softness is not weakness. Empathy is a superpower, not a flaw.

  16. Take pictures. Even when you don’t feel perfect—these moments won’t come back.

  17. Faith will carry you where logic can't. Some seasons require surrender, not strategy.

  18. Don’t shrink for anyone. Make space, take space, and never apologize for your light.

  19. Therapy is not just for when you're “broken.” It’s for growth, clarity, and maintenance.

  20. Consistency is louder than motivation. Show up even when it’s not glamorous.

  21. Being alone and being lonely are not the same. Learn to enjoy your own company.

  22. Release the timeline. Life rarely happens when or how you planned—but it’s still unfolding beautifully.

  23. Your job doesn’t define you. Who you are outside of your work matters just as much.

  24. Not every reaction deserves a response. Protect your energy—silence can be sacred.

  25. Joy is a form of resistance. Celebrate yourself even in chaos.

  26. Speak life over yourself. You are listening, even when the world isn’t.

  27. You are still becoming. Give yourself grace. You’re not behind—you’re blooming in divine time.
