Twenty Seven

First of all, I cannot believe I am 27. I am at the edge of a big life decision. It’s going to be nice to look back on this in the years to come and see what I was thinking. I do these posts yearly so for this year, here are 27 things I have learnt in 27 years (most are things I need to improve on).

• The more I fly the worse I get at recovering. Hat tip to Mitchell.
• If you can be that guy to depend on for friends you feel better yourself.
• You'll never regret being too kind.
• You can never have too many backups.
• Positivity is one of the hardest things to maintain but the alternative sucks.
• A good barista is an angel sent from the heavens to serve excellent Jesus nectar.
• I need to take better care of myself.
• Things are like features, you can add them all day but getting rid of them is hard.
• I need to learn more. I need to add some JavaScript to my tool belt.

• When I'm focused and kind, that day is a good day.
