25 lessons that I've Learned in the Years of my Existence

I have been writing this piece since day 1 of this year (2020).

Every day, I opt to go beyond boarders, grow more, and fulfill my dreams to the fullest. Let us go to the gist of this piece.

And I would like to share with you the  25 lessons that I’ve learned in the years of my existence.   1. Beauty fades but character does not. Life tells us that no matter how beautiful our hair, skin color, and body are, everything will change just our age. At the end of the day, it is our character that will stay the same.

Labels are for Cans Only (An Opinion)

https://youtu.be/c1Xh6ykn43E This video ☝️ speaks a powerful message. As a result, I realize that people nowadays tend to stereotype without further recognizing the variations within a group. We actually do not really know each other, we just see want we want to see in which. Therefore, there maybe harmful effects if we dwell on generalizing people such as having miscommunications, being labeled as racists and worse, a start of hostility. As an eye-opener to these negative situations, this given advertisement unmasked us the resentment that we feel from being judged by many. Thus, instead of labeling other people, let us replace it with understaning and acceptance, for we don't deserve to be labeled we deserve to be loved for who we are and who we want to be.
