It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.

Big sister advices

Install an app to monitor your menstrual cycle, you will never be taken by surprise again, thank me later

Don't save that nice outfit for a special occasion, it will never come and you will have missed the chance to be hot in that outfit because you thought it was too much, be extra everytime you can

Stretch every single day, I swear it improves everything, posture, mood, health, it's just perfect

This one is for the younger ones, stop lying to your friends now to look cool because in the future you will become a compulsive liar and that's not cute

Avoid using peel off masks, they fuck up your skin's protective barrier and will only make you have more blackheads

If you have a friend who only knows how to gossip about others with you, know that nothing prevents they from saying bad things about you too

Exfoliate your skin before shaving and apply moisturizer or oil to your skin afterwards = bye bye strawberry legs

" 'He has to accept me as I am!' says the nice girl. To accept? No way. Wake up. He has to be crazy about you. Acceptance has nothing to do with it. He accepts a doormat. But he wants the enchanted princess. If you want acceptance, look for self-help groups."

Invest in your vocabulary babe, people who speak well attract more people and opportunities

Never lower your expectations and boundaries for no one, and i mean, no one. respect yourself

Try pomodoro method of study, this helps a lot

Never and ever use lemon, baking soda or alcohol on your face please

Pretty girls don't get into silly drama, they ignore e continue their lives

Thats it for the day, i wish someone told me that before so im here passing it on to someone, hope i was helpful, i luv ya girls🫀

how to stay organized in school

keep a planner

use a paper planner, notion, notes app, whatever you prefer to write down deadlines, exam dates, etc.

don’t procrastinate

do what you need to do early on. get it done and cross it off your list so that you don’t have to worry about it later and you won’t have a ton of assignments to do last minute.

organize by color

you may do this by separating classes by color and using highlighters/post it notes/colored pens, etc. to separate topics within each class

be realistic with your to-do lists

don’t try to pile on too much in one day. do your best to evenly distribute your tasks throughout the week.

break up large tasks

don’t try to get all of your bigger and time consuming tasks done at one time. distribute them apart from each other. also, you may split your large tasks into smaller tasks to make them seem less intimidating and more doable.

make your own study guides

study guides are helpful and will not always just be given to you, so use the resources you have to build your own for each topic, exam, etc.

MAKE IT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

It was a rainy night.

She was trapped outside with me.

The droplets on our skin felt so blissful;

The worries faded away.

The moment felt so enlightening and real.

Memories flashed by faster

than the drops that drip.

Let the rain wash over you.

Let the rain remind you

of how I made you crave for more.

You feel wet down there.

She soaked in the happiness, feeling blissful;

she became alive once again.

Let it also remind you

of those fantasies that were unlived.

Living in the moment can happen when the rains come your way.

DO NOT QUIET ME NOW

Everyone is right

Just as everyone is wrong

Don't quiet me

And don't make me quiet others

Remember when someone quiet you

Tell them to fuck off

Because you deserve a voice

And you matter

You can say what you want

And do what you want

And I think you should fight for that

Because whosoever tries to shut the mouth

of a valid person

Can't truly be valid to themselves

there is really no such thing as a "negative" or "positive" emotion. all of our emotions are valid and should not be suppressed or shamed. there are comfortable emotions, and there are uncomfortable emotions, but emotions are just too complex to label as simply good or bad. we cannot avoid feeling (for lack of better words) "bad" emotions—especially for those of us with mental illnesses or trauma—so it doesn't make any sense to stigmatize them. no one can be happy all the time, no one can be positive all the time, forcing yourself to do so is self-abuse.

Things to forgive yourself for

procrastinating

repeating habits you’ve wanted to change

relapsing

going back to square one

not thinking before acting or speaking

doing negative things when you didn’t know better

waking up later than you planned

not doing everything you scheduled

anything you did in the past

You’re only human. You made mistakes, but you’re a different person now. The endless cycle of feeling guilty can make things worse. It’s unfair to be so hard on yourself. Do your best to be a better person from it, and give yourself a chance to start again.
