Whether it’s your body image, beauty, material things or anything--- comparing yourself to anyone or anything else is a pointless thing to do. We’re all guilty of doing this and honestly it’s hard to accept it sometimes, but you’re perfectly imperfect.
If you know me you’re laughing because I can be grumpy a lot of the time. But one thing I learned how to do more recently and actually remind myself is to be happy. There are times I get sad or mad, but lately I realized I don’t want to be sad or mad, I want to be happy. Do yourself a favor and tell yourself you’re tired of being sad and choose to be happy.
I’ve always been one to keep toxic people around, because I always wanted to see the better in them. But some of those people didn’t have a “better” side. YOU need to decide who is worth keeping around. Find people who make you laugh endless and love you regardless.
I’ve been down on my luck before, I’ve been unhappy and didn’t know how to change it. But in the end everything seemed to work out and I couldn’t be more thankful for the lessons I learned along the way. So have faith a better day will come.
In 19 years, I’ve seen girls and boys who need a significant other. I’ve seen people be afraid to be “alone”. You don’t need someone to complete you. Being alone is okay.
I still have no clue who I am, I know who I am becoming and who I hope to become. I’m a firm believer your college years is finding out who you are, what you like and what you dislike. I don’t know much about the future and the path I’m taking, but it is something someone needs to take alone.
There have been things I liked or enjoyed, that some other people didn’t. But I soon realized that I shouldn’t be ashamed if I liked something because that is who I am. I also realized there are a lot of other people out there who enjoy the same things I do too.
Of course I’ve ignored my intuition before and 99.9% of the time I should’ve listened, but hey you win some and lose some. Thankful I learned to follow through and listen to it (sometimes).
To everyone, please. You don’t like someone? Okay, just be nice. Smile and move on, there is no reason to start anything unnecessary. Slap a smile on your face and get over it.
Overall the most important. Follow your heart, whether it’s love, school, your career and anything else your heart desires, but don’t forget to bring your brain. Your heart doesn’t have a brain and your brain doesn’t have a heart. What ever you desire, bring logic with you.
