Pondering

• when inner voice says 'don't do that, you'll break it/it'll end badly/you'll regret it' - it's generally right, stop it now

• always carry a tote bag, you'll need it if you don't have it

• your hair isn't 'frizzy', it's curly, learn how to manage it earlier and stop brushing it omg stop

• be picky about buying a house. You can't test it first. If you're worried about the thing it's probably justified.

@girlonthenet Great list. This quote particularly resonated with me:

“In romantic relationships too – the person you love most should always be your friend, and should treat you at least as well as your best mates do.”

The lesson I’ve learned most is that life really is about the journey and not the destination. It’s too easy to waste it worrying about where you want to be, rather than enjoying how you get there.

@girlonthenet This is superb. I’d also add, the cheap 30p tin openers always work better than the fancy 9 quid ones, any dish is better with fresh ground black pepper, and electric blankets are sent to us by angels and can salvage even the worst days

@girlonthenet wait? You're older than me? huh, I'd have guessed slightly younger.

That is an excellent list. I particularly liked the 20s section.
