Something New

This youtuber got herself braids a few weeks ago and got so many comments on how and why it was wrong. She educated herself and even made a research on the history of braids, dreads and cornrows.

She posted a video where she removes her braids and explains to other Korean people the importance of these hairstyles. She’s a good example of how someone can learn from their mistakes and spread awareness.

1. Don’t rush things. Take the time to really get to know each other.

2. Focus on positivity rather than negativity. Getting angry quickly or being harsh and critical will undermine and ruin even strong relationships. In contrast, being kind and gentle will help develop love.

3. Appreciate the little things the other person does. Don’t overlook their efforts; don’t just expect their help.

4. Enjoy the ways you’re different – and not clones of one another. It makes things interesting (and creates healthy space).

5. Don’t get into a rut so that you’re bored when you’re together. Keeping doing something different, or keep trying something new.

6. Learn how to be listener, someone who’s understanding, and helps their partner open up and share what’s bothering them.
