18 things I learned by the time I was 18

I did this post last year when I was 17 and I really enjoyed writing the post and it's a favourite for me to look back on, so as it's less than two weeks until I turn 19, here it is again. 18 things I had learned by the time I was 18.

1. Failing does not mean that you have failed at life. You just have to move on and find something else which you will achieve at.
2. Friendship is the most important thing. Cherish all your friends, you never know when you may need them.
3.  It's okay to talk to people about your mental health. It should be widely spoken about in society so keep speaking about it.
4. Love truly does exist.
5. Talk to new people whenever you can. They may become a big part of your life.
6. It's okay to have days where you may feel down. You may feel as if getting out of bed is the world's hardest mission some days and that is okay. 
7. You have the power to make an impact on somebody else's day. Whether you smile at somebody in the street or have a conversation with somebody. You can brighten someone else's day, just by being you.
8. Always take photos. Whether that'll be a good ol' selfie with your best friend on a spontaneous day out or whether it be of a beautiful view, it's good to always have a picture to look back on. 
9. Find something or someone that sparks something inside of you. You will know when you find it.
10. Music is definatley the best medicine.
11. Change up the beauty products you use or try something completley new. It's good to have change and you might even like it better.
12.  Don't listen to anyone when they say that you should be somebody that you're not. ALWAYS BE YOU!!
13. Go for walks to places you've never explored.
14. It's good to like things that other people don't. It makes us who we are.
15. You get treated how you treat others.
16. Self belief is key.
17. Goodbye doesn't always mean forever
18. Life does not stop for anybody or anything. You have to push through and keep going because even if it seems like everything is over, it won't be. Life goes on.
