Here are some things in life I have learned and would love to share with you all, some of these I have discovered, some I was bought up with, and some I have had to learn from experience.
1- Don’t ever change the way you love, if you are like me then you love hard, and it can sometimes result in you regretting how much love you gave, however, it isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes people just don't deserve your love, but eventually, someone will come into your life and give you that same love back in return. So never fault your kind heart and soul, it makes you even more beautiful.
2- Always save time for yourself, my favorite things to do in my “me time” are walking, reading, and writing. At this time, I stay off my phone. In my opinion, this time is essential for one to have as it is a time for reflection.
3- Don’t regret your past, now trust me the amount of times last year I said “I wish I never…” or “I wish we never met…” but, then I look at my life now, and I realize that the mistakes that were made and the people I let go off, happened for a reason and it was beneficial.
4- Don’t care if people do not like you, be realistic, you won’t always be everybody’s cup of tea and that is completely okay! Sometimes people don’t even have a reason, they just simply don’t like you. I read this quote, and it really stood out to me, so I would love to share it with you “You could be a whole ray of sunshine and people will still hate you because they are used to rain”
5- Why try and fit in? Undoubtedly people will read my blogs and say that they are cringe, but why would I care… yes that’s their opinion, however, that doesn't mean it is a fact, or I have to act upon it to please them. If you want to wear certain clothes, express yourself a different way, or simply do your own things, do it because it makes you happy, not because you think other people will prefer you more, or it will earn you brownie points in other people’s books…. As long as you are happy and healthy in the words of Aretha Franklin “it’s your thing, do what you want to do”
6- Learn to let go, honestly it can seem complicated, but it is just because you have become used to the thing or person when you know something isn't right for you do not drag it on, and do not blame yourself either. The things that stay in your life stay for a reason, just as much as the things that left, left for a reason. Don’t waste your time wondering where it all went wrong, just focus on yourself and your goals and it will all be okay… I promise.
7- Nobody should be your happiness they should only add to your own, never rely on somebody to be the baring of your happiness as it is not a reliable source, the one reliable source you can rely on is yourself… make sure you are happy and contempt with yourself and then let somebody add to it, and should it go wrong you won’t ever be short.
Remember stay true to yourself! Don’t ever look back on the past and worry! Your beautiful nature and your kind soul are what makes you the amazing person you are... -AAJ xx
