7 Things I learn by myself (my mother never taught me)

i. Learn to say NO. I had to realized it late that not every opportunity needs to be taken specially if you are not comfortable doing it nor you are not happy. No I can't do this. No, I don't like. No, I don't need to explain why I'm saying No to you.

ii. People will throw shade on you. You cannot please everybody indeed but never let these people define or affect who you really are.

iii. Never settle for less. I know it was scary but trust me you can do it.

iv. Not everything you love will love you back, *hello crush life* I know it sucks but that doesn't mean that you are not lovable it only means that God is still preparing something better, you just have to wait.

v. Leave the past behind. Do not let the pain and hurt to take over. Never allow the demons of yesterday to destroy the beauty you have today. Never close your door because you've been broken before instead use that as your motivation.

vi. Avoid toxic people. If you are in a relationship or friendship and you find yourself spending more time on crying out of sadness or arguing with them, leave them. Toxic people are dangerous look for someone who will laugh out loud with you.

vii. Love yourself. That is so important. Love your birthmark, the shape of your face, the color of your skin, the nose that you think is flat. Learn to love yourself at 3AM when all you can think is scary monsters hiding underneath your bed or at 7AM when you wake up cranky. Learn to love yourself because you are you and you will never change.
