In no particular order, here are 26 things I learned in my 26th year.
1. Playing with fire gets you burned.
2. There is never a "right time.." For anything.
3. You absolutely must put your family first.
4. Being selfish is okay too.
5. If you hate what you're doing every day, it's imperative that you do something different.
6. People love to talk about what they don't know about.
7. If most people are really skeptical about it, it's probably a good idea.
8. You don't have to agree with everyone, but listen to what they have to say.
9. In America, you can make a career out of being offended.
10. You cannot do the same thing over and over and expect different results.
11. People treat you how they feel about you; listen to them.
12. It is okay to be angry; it is never okay to be cruel.

15. Some people just plain suck.
16. Helping others is an amazing way to spend your time.
