On Tuesday, I celebrated turning 24. As well as frolicking around Dublin on the lead up to my birthday and drinking ridiculous amounts of gin and prosecco, I took a little time out to think about all the things I've achieved, and all the things I've learned in my 24 years. So without further ado, here's a little life advice from SuzyBlue...
- Don't live your life the way others think you should - it's nobody's life but yours, do what YOU want to do with it.
- Do not be ashamed of enjoying chips cheese and donner meat while sober (just don't make a habit of eating it regularly - it's disgustingly bad for you!).
- Sex is all kinds of better when it's with someone you love.
- Exercise regularly.
- Do something that scares you every now and again.
- It's OK to not know who you are or what you want to do with your life when you're in your twenties.
- There is no greater feeling than being absolutely, ridiculously head over heals in love.
- Time heals everything.
- DO NOT take advantage of your health.
- Social media is not real life. Instagram is not spur of the moment - it's weeks of planning and 20 minutes of editing before anything goes online.
- Mints ease nausea, anxiety and digestive troubles (I know you know what I mean...).
- Take every opportunity offered to you - even if it's not what you want at the time, you never know where it will lead.
- Go on every job interview you are invited to - even if you know you don't want the job, interviews are always something you can learn and grow from.
- Don't take yourself or life too seriously.
- Do something you enjoy each month - whether that's getting your nails done, a spray tan or having a bottle of wine to yourself in the bath - enjoy your monthly "me time".
- Breathing techniques, mindfulness and meditation really help with anxiety disorders.
- Family, friends and loved ones are the most important thing - treasure them.
- Gin helps soothe all ailments
- It's totally OK to occasionally spend the full day in bed.
- Drink more water.
- Relationships take work - love is a choice, it doesn't just happen.
- Be kind to everyone you meet, you have no idea what someone is going through.
- Don't be afraid to take risks in life.
- Travel as often as you can, learn about other cultures, see the world.
