my advice for the day
-
learn to be happy with yourself before being happy with anyone else. by this i mean, when you learn to be okay with who you are and how you act and how you look an everything. when you can look in the mirror and be proud of who you see then you can bring others into your life in order to bring you happiness, but until you learn to love your solitude and you learn to love yourself the happiness others bring you won’t matter, it’ll always be temporary. and when it come time for you to have other people around, if they don’t make you love yourself more when you’re around them then you shouldn’t keep them around you. if a person is not actively adding to your life, they are not worth your time. think about it. do they respect you the same way that you respect them? do they listen to you? do they respect the boundaries that you set in the friendship /relationship (i.e. touching, petnames, i love you’s, being around certain people, dating exes, friend code, or anything of that sort)? if not, then leave them behind.
