So if you're anything like me, you're constantly the one people come to for relationship advice for whatever reason. I constantly wondered why people came to me with relationship questions when honestly, my love life was always the epitome of a romantic comedy without the romance part. Seriously though.

I'll admit I tend to be very blunt when giving advice to my friends about their problems. When I hear that some dumb boy has hurt my best friend or some mean girl was hurting my friend's feelings, I go into overprotective mode and only want to see the bad. I don't want my friends to ever go through any of the problems I did, so I always try to give the advice that's real instead of what they want to hear. What I never realized was that people are only going to do what their heart is seeking, even in my own situations. It is so easy to give advice that makes sense when you're an outsider, but how is anyone going to learn if they don't cross the line a little?

I still give blunt advice whenever necessary, but lately I've learned to be a little more understanding in certain situations. Your advice to your friend very well may be the best advice they will ever hear, but let's be serious -- the heart wants what the heart wants. The person you're giving advice to, especially if they're anything like me, is going to do what they please, even if they know your advice is valid. This isn't me telling you that as a person you shouldn't listen to your friends when they are telling you what they think about your issues, but all I'm saying is no one knows your situation like you do. Every single relationship issue, whether it be with your mom, cat, boyfriend or even best friend is unique. Outsiders are just that -- outsiders.

I can't tell you how much I care about what people think. I happen to think it's my biggest flaw. I sometimes get so caught up in what others are thinking about my life that I forget what I even think. My advice to you (that might just be the easiest advice to take) is to stop listening to every opinion someone has about the way you're living your life and just start living it. Most of the people giving us loaded advice care, and that's why they give it. Then again, if you're happy, screw what people are telling you to do about your life. I will always appreciate those blunt friends of mine keeping me in line, but if there's anything I've learned lately, you are the one that lives with the consequences of your choices. So if you want, listen to every piece of advice you get. I'll be over here crossing the line as long as my happiness is the end result. Mistakes are meant to be made. In the wise words of my main girl Nicki Minaj, "Make sure the stars is what you aim for, make mistakes though."
