I turned 36 this February, which means I’ve been on this Earth for 35 years. I think that’s the maths. I don’t know, I borderline failed it in school.
Anyway, that used to seem like a long time, but now I honestly don’t even know where the last 15 years went? Sorry, when did I leave my twenties? What even happened in that decade?
I guess there were a lot of parties. A lot of heartache, that’s for sure. Some questionable decisions, some less questionable ones (that seemed questionable at the time, though?).
Watch: The horoscopes and self-care. Post continues below.
Basically, I realised this year that I’ve actually learned a lot, both from the things I did do and the things I didn’t. Here’s what I know.
1. You’ll never regret travelling.
I have been in debt many times over the last 35 years, and it was always either because I bought too many clothes or went travelling.
I regret all the clothes; I regret none of the travel. Even if you go on a tumultuous tour of Thailand with a boyfriend who becomes your ex as soon as you get home (hi, 2019), you won’t regret spending money seeing the world.
