Things I've pondered and thought about today and tonight because of a conversation with another girl... things we must remember.... things we must keep in mind... and things that I've learned from fighting and being so happy with girls over the past few weeks. (This is more of a reminder for myself.)
1. Know who you are and be who you are. Stop trying to be yourself.
2. Take what someone says at face value, even if they are not being nice and you know it.
3. Think about other people, even if you are the celebratory member of your own pity party.
4. Let it out. Scream at the top of your lungs into your pillow, your car, or the neighbor's yard... just somewhere. Get it out or it will build up.
5. Watch other's expressions. Read them and think about how you should react because of them.
6. When you don't like something, punch that person in the face (just kidding but be honest with them).
7. Vent, vent, vent... even if it's too your mom and all she hears is negativity from you. She still loves you! (Thanks Mom!)
8. Don't settle. Don't settle. Wait... wait... wait... even when you are so annoyed that you can't stand it and you want to pull your hair out.
9. Let people know that you care about them and that you are thankful for them.
10. Don't put up with people's crap. Now if you're the one being crappy, it's one thing, but otherwise... you don't have to carry everyone's burden. Yes, care, but don't feel like the world will fall apart without you. Unfortunately, it will keep spinning and mostly everyone around you will be okay... but again, don't always put up with people, especially if you know they're being ridiculous.
Just be you... no one else and because you care about people enough, they will care about you too... and it will all work out. No matter how long it takes. The end.
