We as girls are going to become women. Obviously. As a young woman, I'm going to take this opportunity to give some advice I've learned. This is advice that I've heard over time and conclusions I've come to through experience.

1. Don't look for approval from others.

2. Know yourself.

3. Become your own best friend.

4. Care about those who care about you.

5. Don't hold your breath for the impossible.

6. Don't act on momentary feelings.

7. Don't get nothing for nothing.

8. Pretty is as pretty does.

9. Learn from others mistakes, and apply their good qualities.

10. You are you for a reason.

11. Don't rely on things to make yourself okay.

12. Be who you are.

13. Embrace your quirks, it's proof that you're human.

14. Everything you've accomplished if because of you.

15. If it could've and should've been, it would've been.

16. I do good, it will come back to you.

17. You always have a choice.

Here are seventeen pieces of advice, and they're all theories I live my life by. I'm a person that believes that everything happens for a reason, and everything is connected, somehow, some way.

With that being said, you will all find your way and you will figure out your own advice and methods that you will live by. This is just an example of what I've learned over time, and this may or may not apply to you, but I enjoy being a source of positivity and advice whenever I can, and my overanalysis has benefited me in many ways.

Unlike many people who live in my area, I've never been to prison or been in any legal trouble. While everyone was being reckless, I dived fully into finding myself and doing my art, and that is the person you see before you.

I pride my life on being surrounded by things that make me feel creative, and I enjoy making people feel special because we are all here for a reason, it's just a matter of figuring out what that reason is.
