Five things I've learned about myself recently. I'm sure you're sick of hearing about 25 being such a "journey of self-discovery" for me, but, hey, it's my blog.
1. I've figured out how to make lemonade when life hands me lemons. Finally.
2. I think twice about everything I put in my mouth. That's what she said! I don't know if it was reading Food Rules or what, but my eating habits have changed drastically and for the better in the past month or so.
3. I'm less snarky. Let's face it, I love to make people laugh. And oftentimes when you're laughing, it's at someone else's expense. I'm not saying that I still don't have my opinions and one-liners inside my head, but I'm much more careful about what I say out loud. I think it's because since moving to NYC I've been exposed to super judgmental people who are constantly putting others down, and I don't want to be that way.
4. I'm more relaxed. I even got a massage! (I won't be running back.) My anxiety and stress levels are the lowest they've ever been. I can turn off the TV at night and for the first time in my life, fall asleep with ease.
5. I used to be hopelessly single. Now I'm happily single. Enough said.
Wishes for a wonderful weekend!

I hope the lemonade you're making is part of the good choices you're making in your eating habits... it sounds delicious :)
All great things! Hooray for making lemonade out of lemons...and I love that you are in such a calm, confident phase of your life. Congrats sweetie! Happy weekend.
Love the last one :) xxxoo
Yay for learning how to make lemonade!
I love your Friday Five keep it up and as a feloow 25 year old finding her way and feeling like she is learning something new about herself and life everyday I really like reading your revelations too!
As far as #5 goes, congrats because those two things are drastically different adn I don't think a person can be in a good relationship until they are truly happy being alone with themselves and enjoying it.
I love that I thought to myself, "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID", when I read #2...and you had already typed it. LOVE :)
Great darlin'!! These are such wonderful steps in the journey of adulthood. I'm so glad for you. These little things will make you so much happier!! No words to describe it. You are realizing how wonderful you are and your life is - we have known it all along! xoxo
I'm proud to say my snark level has gone down a lot recently. It just takes too much effort to be negative.
#5 CONGRATULATIONS. Now that you have attained this wonderful state of being you are ready for that relationship whenever it happens.
