Welcome to the 4th and last part of the impactful lines and life lessons from the Korean drama series "18 Again". This is now the final part and if you have read the first three parts already, thank you and I appreciate you for reaching this far.

"There are some things you notice only after you have lost them."

Sometimes, we tend to take advantage of the things we have and neglect them. And we only get to realize their worth once they no longer belong to us or we can no longer experience them.

Just like the times that you spent with your friends and family. You would even feel like it's just wasting time to spend some moment with them and it's just an additional burden to you because you are too busy with your work and other priorities. You will only appreciate those tiny moments with them and that laughter you have shared once they no longer exist in your life or you can no longer see them smile. And the only thing you can do is to regret not giving your all when they are still around.

So take a glimpse around you. Give importance to every little thing that you feel and think that is only ordinary and will always be by your side because once they are gone and lost, you can only miss them but you can't bring the time back.

"Let's all do everything that we ever want to do in this life."

In this scene, the three women were talking about reincarnation and getting to do all the things they want to do in life once they get reincarnated or on their second life. And the grandmother said that they don't have to wait for their second life to come to do the things they want to do. Instead, they should just do them now.

I believe that we only have one life so we should not waste this chance that is given to us. Let's make the most out of this lifetime. Let's be bold and do the things we have always wanted to do. If you want to travel, then go for it. Life is too short so let's live our lives without regret.

"Don't say things you don't mean."

More often than not, when we are hurt, we become so emotional that our minds are not connected with our hearts, and we tend to say harsh words that we don't even mean, especially when we are angry and our emotions have gotten the best of us. We even do things we don't even want to do because of disappointment.

Sometimes, it's hard to control our emotions because we are all emotional beings. However, when we let our emotions rule over us, we might be saying and doing things that we may regret later on. So as much as possible, be rational and don't be too emotional. It's okay to express your feelings but make sure to mean what you say and say what you really mean.

"No matter how old you get, there is always something new to learn."

We learn something new every day and learning is a lifetime process. We are always in pursuit of new knowledge, whether it's just for personal gain or professional interest.

And we also learn new things from our experiences, failures, and mistakes that we make in life. We also get to learn from other people from all walks of life.

Well, there were a lot of impactful lines and love, life, money, relationships, and family lessons that I got from the drama "18 Again". And if you haven't watched the drama yet, I hope these lines and lessons that I have listed down somehow convinced you to see the series already.
