Today (August 25th) is my 21st birthday. The 21st birthday is a milestone for many people. You get to celebrate another year of life. Although I won't, people use their new found ability to drink to celebrate and get drunk. I wanna share with you guys 21 things I have learned in my 21 years of life. And if you are asking, yes, I added the twenty one pilots logo because my age is the number in their name. Here goes nothing!
- Don't turn on that computer at 4 AM at age 13 and start what would soon be a 7 year porn addiction.
- I unfortunately still struggle with it but it is better than it has been.
- Don't call the girls "sexy" on the first day of school at a new school
- Yeah I (used) to be immature.
- Not every girl you meet is your girlfriend
- I have made this mistake too many times and it will lead to heartache.
- (Most) friends from high school aren't forever
- Another thing that'll cause heartache and you damn well better learn this now. Shane and Melissa, Thanks for sticking with me for 8 years. Love you two
- The girl you take to Prom isn't forever and it'll most likely go down in flames
- She might even give her number to another guy who had 2 girlfriends and took a whole different girl to Prom. Can someone say player?
- Don't spend your money on whatever you want
- Shouldn't you tithe and put some in savings? It's not good to be at $0 at 21.
- Don't get a credit card just to get the teller to shut up
- I'm actually in debt and have no way to pay it off because I'm out of a job and it sucks. Once it's paid off, I'm gonna be shredding it.
- Whether you are a girl or guy, you will cry. All this is true because it rhymes.
- You're gonna cry over your first heartbreak. You can't fight it.
- Someone close to you will die
- I've never met anyone my age that hasn't had someone close to them, whether its a family member or friend.
- Stop eating when you're full, not until you're sick
- I know the food kicks ass but really its not worth weighing 260 lbs.
- Go to the gym
- Workout till it hurts and don't quit just because you can't pay for it
- It's okay to be 21 and not have been in a relationship yet
- Eventually you're gonna get over it and it will be around your 21st birthday. Plus, being single is fun!
- It's okay to be 21 and not have had your first kiss
- Seriously I've heard you better be ready for it though. Gonna be amazing
- Don't tell the boss at your first job that you need every weekend plus next Wednesday off.
- He will schedule you only for every Friday, Saturday and occasionally Sunday. He will still tell you "You kick ass" or "You're my best employee." Doesn't add up.
- Writing songs will make you one of the most popular kids in school
- One of my worship songs was played in chapel like my freshman year and the rest is history.
- Don't reply to emails from the girls in home school
- It can get you into a heap of trouble and sin
- Writing songs or poems really helps
- Writing a song or a poem can really get your mind off things. Hey, one day it could be a hit song or poem.
- Music saves lives... it literally saved mine
- I was considering suicide after Miss Prom girl back in 2012. God played "He Said" by Group 1 Crew and I cried because that song prevented me from ending my life.
- Stay in contact with your former Youth Pastor... Even when he moves away to Seattle
- Just like the song, he saved my life by giving me a call. God put that in my life
- Don't stop going to church
- Church can help you with a lot of your problems and most of the time, any of the pastors are available to talk to you if you need someone
- PRAY
- Last but not least, praying is the only way out because as I have said before, God is the only one who is there to listen.
If you read this, thank you. It took me a couple days to write and I'm hoping these help you. Some of them were hard to write and share with you.
Until Next Time,
Alex
