  1. If you find yourself questioning his intentions or what his actions really mean then giiirrrlllll, that man don’t want you.
  2. And you FULLY DESERVE someone who wants you. 
  3. Your body is your home. You may not always like the way it looks (or feels) but it’s the only one you’ve got and you need to take care of it.
  4. It’s not everyday HIIT and full body workouts until you’re pouring with sweat but you should make sure you MOVE everyday.
  5. Money comes and goes so make a budget but still deffo buy the thing.
  6. Never take advice from someone who’s situation you don’t want to be in.
  7. God is your friend 🫶🏾
  8. If you’re not excited about the job in the interview. Don’t take the job.
  9. If you took the job and it’s stressing you, make your exit plan and BOUNCE.
  10. Just suck it up and buy the insurance because the MOMENT your ish isn’t covered, best believe it will break or get stolen, or in your case, both – how fun for you!
  11. You only need a few really amazing friends
  12. But you need to be intentional about your friendships 
  13. Make a choice first so you can make the decision later 
  14. Acknowledge what you don’t like about yourself and then make a plan to fix it.
  15. Then stick to the plan. Future you is counting on it!
  16. No one is coming to save you from yourself
  17. Or save you from toxic people.
  18. See the world – your home will be right there waiting for you when you’re ready to come back
  19. Watch out for those who push you to accept things they would never allow for themselves.
  20. Don’t build your walls so high you find it embarrassing to ask for help. 
  21. Every day: normal toothpaste, whitening toothpaste then water floss. Twice a week: bicarbonate of soda brush and rinse – trust me!
  22. Keep going to therapy until the therapist tells you you’re good lol 
  23. And be honest with your therapist, this isn’t a quiz, there’s no right answer.
  24. Sick days can also be used for mental health days 
  25. Don’t let people who don’t root for you into your business – only share your plans when they are already in motion.
  26. Don’t date men you have to convince yourself to like
  27. Invest your money in yourself: appearance, hobbies, favourite pastimes – you’re worth it.
  28. Regret is far more painful than failure
  29. Just because they’re your family doesn’t mean they’re nice people – oop.
  30. Your journey won’t look like those on social media or even that of your friends’ and that can be scary but face your front, you’re doing fine.
  31. Being constantly told you’re the least desired and least protected can really take it’s toll. You don’t have to be strong all the time.
  32. It’s okay to admit you want romantic love. 
  33. Reading can sometimes seem like a chore but ultimately it’s an escape and they’re nothing as fun as losing yourself in a book.
  34. If you have already come to a decision on something then there is absolutely no need to seek validation by asking others of their opinion.
  35. When someone’s actions show you they care, believe them. And when they show you they don’t, believe that too.
