1. Do what you love, always. Don't follow the crowd, follow your heart and do whatever you want.
2. Take every opportunity possible. Don't pass up on things because you're scared - I'll always remember passing up an opportunity to drive a ferry on the way to Ireland way back when I was 8 or 9 and it is genuinely one of my biggest regrets to this day.
3. Try your best at everything you do. Whether this is at school, a part time job, a full time job, blogging, any extra curricular activities, just do your best whenever you can and that is all you can do.
4. Challenge yourself. Nothing worth having comes easily - work hard, challenge yourself and good results will come.
5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you need help, you need to ask for help - nothing will get better if you don't take action to change things.
6. Smile and be nice to everyone you meet. It only takes a smile to cheer someone up and to make their day, so why not take the opportunity to do so?
7. Don't let a bad few seconds ruin your entire day. It's not worth ruining you entire twenty four hours over something someone said in the heat of the moment.
8. Respect others and you will be respected too.
9. Be supportive. Support other people and people will support you - you need to be the best person you can be, and being supportive is a lovely quality to have.
10. Explore. Visit new places, go on adventures and embrace any experiences you may get.
11. Take photos of everything. Make a photo journal (whether it's a physical album or even just using social media) and keep your memories in a physical form.
12. Be creative. Read, write and draw - even if you're bad at it.
13. Friends come and go, and that's okay. Not everyone you meet is meant to be in your life, people come and go and things happen for a reason - and people are in your life for certain reasons, and that's not necessarily always forever.
14. Wear what you want. Wear the clothes you want, wear make up if you want to, don't wear make up if you don't want to. You do you.
15. Make yourself heard. There's always going to be people that don't want to listen to you or don't believe you, but you need to make your opinions heard and express yourself to the world.
16. Accept that you may be wrong sometimes.
17. Accept yourself for who you are. You're perfect exactly the way you are.
18. Be positive, always. Things will always work out in the end. Having a positive mindset means that positive things will happen.
It's been lovely to reflect on the past eighteen years and I hope that the lessons I have learnt over the course of my lifetime so far have been helpful or insightful for everyone reading this.
