- stressing about life is overrated. life will come and things that seem big (what college to go to, what career to pursue, how much money I will make) won't matter if I don't let them. that stuff doesn't matter.
- I can control if I am happy or not. whatever is going on in my life, whatever circumstances I am, those things have nothing to do with whether I am happy or not. it depends entirely on my attitude
- same with my self confidence/self esteem/body image. it has nothing to do with what I look like, everything to do with my attitude. also, skinny does not equal healthy. and skinny does not necessarily equal pretty (for me! everyone is beautiful, skinny or not)
- I do not need make up to be pretty. I am already pretty!
- I can't control what other people do, so there's no point in worrying about that.
- what I did yesterday, I can't change that. so I can't look back and think, "I wish I had (or had not) done this," because it won't change anything. the only thing I can do is be good today, and try to be the person I want to be today.
- relationships take work. they aren't just magically amazing. they're not always happy/fun. they are great when they work but can cause a lot of heartbreak. you can want a relationship as long as you don't let it take over your thoughts. as much as you want one, it's not happening any time soon. get over it. try to be the best you that you can, that is the best thing to do right now.
- enjoy the moment because you won't get it back.
- boys (or people in general, really) don't have any power over me. I get to choose if they do or not.
