Some time I think that there are things I wish I could change if I knew what I know now. Things in high school that when I think about them it makes me sad and frustrated.

I wish I had someone that would have told me to take life easy. Not stress myself with insignificant matters. Life in general is short. Enjoy what life throws at you. Stop overthinking and live in the moment. It is still a struggle for me but I'm still learning.


One thing that was always bugging me was people's opinion. Now I know that you can't please everybody. Everybody is not going to like you and is not going to be your friend.

I felt like I needed everyone's approval. also don't be friends with people just for the sake of it. Be with people who you actually want and who motivates you. At the end of my high school period I started really being with people who were supporting me and not putting me down. I left high in 2014 and now we are still friends. Sure we don't meet everyday, because one of my friend is canada and one is working we don't talk and meet everyday but we still keep in touch.


Learn to be independent at a young age. You should believe in yourself and know that you and only you is enough. You don't need to put your happiness in others.You don't need anyone to support you. You are an amazing person and you are not less than others. All my life I have been like hiding behind my friends. Not believing in myself thinking that I was not pretty , that I was not enough.That everybody was better than me. Choose your friends wisely. For the longest time I was with people who were always telling me that I was not as great as them, that would do things to make me feel that I did not belong to their group. It is not the end of the world. Maybe for that period of time it will be the saddest and most depressing moment of your life. Take me for example I learnt from that experience.


You have that thought in your mind that you are weird and don't really belong. You try to train yourself to be like others. Being you is acceptable, being you is ok so don't change yourself. Your opinion matters, your thoughts matters and your life matter.


I was watching kalyn Nicholson. she is an awesome youtuber and blogger. She said something like take pictures and don't delete what you have. These are memories and even if you don't like them today ,I can guarantee you that in 5 years from now you will regret not having them. You will wish that you have them. Pictures are memories of your life. You won't always remember everything so having pictures will make you so much happier remembering those memories.


This was a long one. Hope you guys like it and I will see you guys in my next post very soon.
