Are you really only 14 years old? I'm confused by some of the ages you mention in your blog. I don't mean to be inquisitive, I just want to know before I follow you whether I'm following a minor or not.

How to find the best version of yourself that you'll fall in love with

As someone who has gone through SO many versions of herself and is now slowly growing to be a person she's genuinely happy and in love with

Trust me when I say I've had a lot of identities these past few years. It took me a lot of time to really find the best version of myself, the version that I'm genuinely happy with, the version that my 10 year old self would have looked up to. However, it's different for everyone. The definition of an "it girl" to me might be different from your definition, and the personality and life that truly feels me might not suit you. So, please take note that this is highly subjective and it's all about you and what works for you.

The one and only thing I did to rebrand myself: I created a character.

I gave my character a new name. You can give yours your current one or a nickname. I gave mine my second name. I built this character, I envisioned her, I turned her into a realistic person that I knew I'd look up to.

Basically, create an alter ego. And it wasn't easy to curate this character for me, it took a lot of time for me to build her into someone that I'd want to be, someone that still has flaws but embodies the energy and lifestyle I want.

Know what you want. How does this new you act? What do they like and dislike? What matters to them? How do they impact the people around them? What are they like? How would you describe them? What are their flaws and how do they deal with it? What are the bad habits they got rid of?

Make sure this version you want feels like you. This isn't about turning into another person, it's about growing as a person. It's about looking in the mirror and loving what you see with no doubt and no regrets. It's about knowing what you want and taking it right away, and it's about taking control of your own life and shaping it into one that you will fall in love with every single day.

Look up to this person. Get to know this person, know every single thing about them. Make sure that as you create this alter ego, it's truly someone you'd 100% look up to.

Fall in love. Personally, this part is my favorite. I start to visualize and imagine this person so much that I completely fall in love with her. This version is me, truly me, and utterly me. It's not someone else, it's the person I want to be because everything about this person feels like me. I start to romanticize growing and becoming this person, slowly shaping myself, changing my lifestyle, taking action, taking initiative, and building myself and my life brick by brick to fall in love with what I see in the mirror.

Take action and build yourself up. Slowly embody this person. You can't change overnight, but you can grow and shape yourself step by step.

This is NOT about turning into someone else. This isn't about changing yourself to be more likeable or to please others. This is all about knowing what direction you want to go and taking it. Make sure this character is realistic and truly you. Do not try to be someone you won't be happy with, be someone that will make it easier for you to love yourself. Don't become someone that will only push you beyond your limits and break you, become someone who can take control of their own life enough to build their life solely for themselves.

Find yourself, find the best version of yourself, and you'll know what path to take. All you have to do now is take the path.

THE secret of every "effortlessly perfect" girl

You are NOT dumb, ugly, unskilled, or unlucky. Greatness comes with effort. Girls that seem effortlessly perfect are the ones who put the most effort into themselves. The key to being the best version of yourself is simple but overlooked.

Be the best version of yourself with only 5 steps.

1. Believe that you can so that you will.

Again, you are NOT dumb, ugly, unskilled, or unlucky. Want to be the best version of yourself? Believe that you can be the best version of yourself so that you will be the best version of yourself. Doubting yourself and thinking, "Oh, my capabilities are only up to here" or "Oh, I could never be one of those amazing girls" will only bring you down. Believing and convincing yourself that you have potential will actually help you reach your fullest potential. Most importantly, you don't need a lot of money to be better.

2. Accept you need to put effort.

Accept that you have to get up and make some effort. You have to work hard, invest in yourself, build yourself up. Stop waiting, stop seeking for perfectionism, stop delaying. Waiting will not help you, it'll make you feel worse about yourself. There's no right time, only time and what you do with it. There's no perfect progress or a perfect day, just the effort of trying to be consistent. There's no better time to start other than now.

3. Habit-stacking.

Build and stack beneficial habits one by one. For example, drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. Then once you're consistent, make it a habit to not open your phone immediately when you wake up. Slowly stack your habits until you've trained yourself in effortlessly putting effort into yourself.

4. Find your pace.

You can never be your best version of yourself overnight. It takes time and effort -- lots of it. Don't overwhelm yourself by throwing so many goals and tasks all at the same time at yourself. Instead, find a pace that works for you, divide your goals / tasks, and focus on only one or very few of them at a time. For example, for the next 2 weeks, focus on only getting up at an early hour and lessening your screen time. Then after that, spend another 2 weeks getting exercise daily.

5. Consistency vs Perfectionism.

No one is completely consistent on the first try. We fail, we forget, we make mistakes, but that's okay. If you missed, why would you miss even more? For example, you didn't wake up at the time you wanted to. Why would you tell yourself to try again next week when you can try again tomorrow? If you spilled water on yourself accidentally, would you spill more water on yourself? Build consistency over time, don't seek for perfectionism. You messed up your diet today? Then try again tomorrow. Just because you made a mistake or something interrupted your flow doesn't mean it doesn't work for you, it means you need to try again. Be consistent in trying and making an effort, not in having perfect progress.

The best gift you could ever receive is you. Yourself. Treasure that gift and put effort into taking care of it.

cultivating your taste is so important. you don’t have to be particularly structured or methodical about it, but you should develop real curiosity about why you like the things you do, how they make you feel, why it matters… to put yourself around things that are considered truly great even if you don’t get it yet. and learn to listen to other people who have cultivated their own taste, not to replicate theirs but to see how they do it and share in their expansive energy… the more you interact with good taste, whatever that means to you, the more depth you carve into your own soul… and if you crave success in some capacity, it has this strange way of making you seem more “real” and significant to others around you, and in a way that is so authentic and natural and pleasurable. it just creates an energy that propels you forward in every way. so next time you worry if you’re being shallow, you’re not, that’s a lie, you’re actually bringing great depth… what you like matters because how you feel matters. a lot. like it’s the most important thing. you know?

Beauty AND brains. Your knowledge is your weapon.

Let's not only be insanely beautiful but also disgustingly educated. Other than discipline and hard work, your knowledge is your weapon in this world of chaos, something that you can sharpen and use.

Where can you expand your knowledge? What areas, what topics

How can you expand your knowledge? In different circumstances and preferences such as if you're too busy or if you have a short attention span

Where can you expand your knowledge?

I DO NOT mean that you need to be an expert at everything. You don't need multiple degrees for each type of intelligence. However, if you want to sharpen your weapon, sharpen your knowledge.

These are the areas where you CAN sharpen your knowledge AND the areas where you SHOULD know the basics in:

Emotional, Communication, Morals, Ethics. Be human, and make others feel human too. Cultivate empathy, understand mental health, build your conscience, and differentiate right from wrong. Communicate frequently and effectively.

History, Culture, Politics. The world is chaotic — learn to stand your ground. Understand history, politics, corruption, culture, and the overlooked heroes. Know what shaped the past to navigate the future.

Digital Literacy. The internet is a double-edged sword. Learn to navigate it safely, protect your privacy, spot misinformation, and adapt to evolving technology.

Manners, Etiquette, Body Language. The way you present yourself matters. Respect others, read unspoken cues, and master the art of presence.

Self-Sufficiency, Life Skills, Livelihood. You won’t always have someone to rely on. Cook, clean, manage time, handle money, and adapt to life’s challenges. Be independent.

Literature, Language, Writing. Words are power. Read, write, and communicate with depth. Language shapes history, culture, and thought—use it wisely.

Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving. The world isn’t black and white. Question everything, analyze critically, recognize manipulation, and think for yourself. Don't be swayed easily by others.

Science and Math. The foundation of everything. At least know the basics, enough to understand the forces shaping the world — logic, numbers, and the universe itself.

Self-Care, Hygiene, Fitness, Health. Your body and mind are your greatest assets. Eat well, stay active, manage stress, and prioritize your well-being before it’s too late.

How can you expand your knowledge?

When you have free time When you're busy When you prefer learning visually When you have little to no attention span

You are what you consume. Now that you know what topics you can expand your knowledge on, these are what you can use / do to consume those information:

Have some free time? Do / use these

Read books, take online courses, or watch in-depth documentaries. (Example: history books, finance courses, science explainers) Engage in discussions or debates to refine your thinking. (Example: politics, ethics, critical thinking) Try hands-on learning like experiments, DIY projects, or journaling. (Example: cooking, coding, writing) Attend workshops, seminars, or community events.

Too busy? Do / use these

Listen to podcasts or audiobooks while traveling, doing tasks / work / school work, or doing chores. (Example: podcasts on Spotify / Tiktok, Youtube videos where the creator is more on speaking, audiobooks on Audible or by downloading a free e-pub format e-book online then uploading it into Google Playbooks and using the audiobook / text-to-speech format) Follow bite-sized content on social media. (Example: short educational / history Tiktok videos, digital literacy infographics, photos on Pinterest) Take advantage of apps and tools for productivity, learning, etc. (Example: budgeting apps, language-learning apps) Watch short, informative videos during breaks. (Example: TED-Ed, Ted Talks, short Tiktok videos)

Like to learn visually / by watching? Do / use these

Watch video explainers, documentaries, or animated infographics. Use apps that gamify learning. (Example: Duolingo for language, Codecademy for coding) Follow visually engaging content creators. (Example: finance charts, body language breakdowns) Make mind maps or illustrated notes to break down complex topics. (Example: self-care routines, political structures, problem-solving techniques)

Little to no attention span? Do / use these

Learn through short-form content like TikToks, reels, or infographics. Play interactive or gamified learning apps. (Example: strategy games, trivia quizzes) Follow meme-based or storytelling-style education accounts. Try hands-on, fast-paced activities. (Example: debate flash rounds, real-world problem-solving challenges, DIY experiments)

Begin small, learn the basics, take a step at a time, and start from there. Be BOTH beauty and brains. You have a weapon (your knowledge), sharpen it and use it.

Mental health, life advice, self care, business, finances, literature, glowing up, falling in love with yourself, relationships, and so on...

strawberrysznn

Just a girl navigating her way through life and helping others do the same

💌

I write everything! From life advice to understanding business and finances to sharing you my personal journey to being the best version of yourself to essays on random topics.. I got you!

I have this blog for a reason! I created this blog as my extracurricular as a non-American girl dreaming of studying in a prestigious university abroad but too broke to afford it. This is my extracurricular, my passion project to convince college admissions people that I might be worthy of something.

I speak from experience! I didn't come from a great, privileged place. I struggled a lot ever since I was a kid, especially with my mental health due to growing up in an incredibly toxic environment and hanging out with the wrong sorts. I speak from years of experience in building myself up from scratch.

I'm incredibly ambitious and have proudly achieved a few things! I'm a student, a daughter, a sister, a business owner (since 12 years old), a non-profit organization founder (from 14 years old), class vice president, club president, (ex) student council member, a debate award recipient (multiple times), consistent honors student, and many more!

I'm also still learning, and here to help others learn as well<3 I made this blog not only as an extracurricular but also to really do what I love doing most: helping and giving back. Through this blog, I get to give the advice I want to give to my younger self if time traveling was a thing. With this, I heal my inner child, I grow, and I help others do the same.

Help me grow my blog! Interact in any way you can <3
