1. not everybody is going to love you the way you love them and that’s okay. 2. you aren’t as annoying/needy/clingy as you think you are. your friends are your friends for a reason, they want to be there to support you. let them. 3. that being said, friends get busy. learn to take care of yourself. there’s not always going to be someone to pick up the pieces for you. 4. when your life feels like everything is caving in around you and there’s no way out, take a nap. things may not always feel better when you wake up, but at least you escaped for a couple of hours. 5. when your boyfriend/girlfriend breaks up with you, it’s okay to be sad. it’s okay to cry. it’s okay to stay in bed for a week. but don’t let it consume you. I know it hurts losing your best friend, but eventually you’ll move on. 6. you are worth more than how people treat you. 7. sometimes it’s okay to stay in bed and not shower for a week, but most of the time it’s not. get up, take a shower, do something productive. you’ll probably feel better. 8. even when your best friend goes off to college and you don’t see them for months at a time, they’re still your best friend. make an effort to see them when you can. cherish it. 9. immerse yourself in new music and shows and movies. connect with people and characters you’ve never met. somehow it’ll make you feel less alone. 10. listen to that band that you’ve been putting off listening to because you like the two songs and that’s enough. it’s not enough. listen and connect. it’s a good feeling falling in love with something bigger. 11. drugs and drinking are never the answer to your problems, they just help you avoid them. 12. don’t let people touch you because you’re lonely or sad or insecure. you will feel worse. 13. don’t touch other people because you’re lonely or sad or insecure. you will feel worse. 14. people are temporary. they come and go and that’s okay. but some people will come and go at the expense of your sanity and that’s not okay. stop allowing them to do that. 15. do not allow toxic people into your life. it does not matter how much you love them or how long you’ve known them, they are toxic. don’t tolerate it. 16. even when they say they’ve changed, they probably haven’t. people can change, but be weary. 17. when your toxic ex texts you, ignore it. when they keep texting you, block them. you’re better off without them in your life, I promise. 18. treat yo self. sometimes you need to just spend a little money on something for you to make you happy. that’s okay. buy the thing. indulge. don’t feel guilty. 19. not everybody you love is going to love you back and that’s okay.
