Let’s admit, being young is quite tough. There’s so much you still have to learn and it’s usually a process of trial and error. Some choices you make, for some magical reason, end up being okay (or at times even really great), and some… well, sometimes you simply fail miserably. And that’s totally fine. Even though it usually doesn’t seem like it and you spend some time ruminating or even hating yourself for that one particular choice. But that’s life, I guess.
And even though living = making some mistakes along the way, it’s sometimes nice to get a few insights from people who’ve already been there and done that. Recently, a Twitter user GayatriiM started an interesting thread by asking all the women in their 40s to share life lessons that they’ve learned late in life. “Women in their 40s, what is one life lesson you learnt late in life?” she wrote in her tweet. Also, she answered her own question by saying this: “I learnt that sacrifices you make for others are overrated. At the end of the day, you’ll be held responsible for the choices you made esp. by those whose share of responsibilities you took over!”
Bored Panda invites you to look through some of the best life lessons these women have shared. And, of course, feel free to share your own in the comments!
