Nobody asked me about 25 things that I’ve learned in my life as I turn quarter century old and nobody probably would not want to read it. Well, I still want to write about short list of 25 lessons on turning 25 a.k.a. 25 reflection things. 

So, here goes my list (this list is so personal—everyone surely experienced different things):

1. Never trust people because their words can’t be trusted or they could be lying to you.
2. Never depend on people around you because they will leave you or you will leave them at one point.
3. Do not put hopes on people or just do not expect people to go along your way because they will probably disappoint you.
4. Go outside sometimes, touch some grass, it’s good.
5. Socialize with humans sometimes so you could reconnect to humanity.
6. Read those books and articles, use your brain.
7. Not everything goes as you want, but keep trying until you reach your goal.
8. It’s okay for being mediocre and struggling at your hobbies. 
9. Sometimes you have no idea what you really want, but that is alright because your life journey is already written on lauhul mahfudz.
10. Go with the flow.
11. Do not waste your time (but I still often do this).
12. Be kind to people because people face their own battle and trauma everyday.
13. You’re just a side character in other people’s life, so just chill man.
14. Being unwanted, unlikeable, and left out are totally okay, keep JOMO (joy of missing out things).
15. Do not be annoying.
16. Be invisible as you can be.
17. Live your life to the fullest sometimes—enjoy these youthful moments that makes you think life is not really that bad.
18. Sadness wave will subside eventually and in the end of the day you will find a new hyperfixation to bury your sadness. 
19. Stay delusional (imagine things that make you happy) if you’re depressed.
20. Think before talk.
21. Do not hurt people with your tongue.
22. Forgive people around you, they might go through something or have a bad day. 
23. Forget people’s mistake.  
24. Remember your mistake so you won’t re do it.
25. Do not panic and be calm even if you want to burn the world. 

Okay, I think that’s my personal 25 reflection things as I turn ¼ century recently. Thank you for anyone who accidentally reads it (I  am talking to the wall).
