Recovery

Lessons I Learned

1. Do not spend your time chasing a boy who does not care about you. You will end up forgetting your childhood.

2. If your friend does not like you being friends with her ex boyfriend even though he is like a brother to you, leave.

3. Do not cut yourself because a guy tells you he no longer loves you.

4. People do not like to be hugged, even if they are your best friend. Respect that.

5. When your friends do not respect your desires, leave.

6. Do not tell your deepest darkest secrets or else they will get back to you.

7. Don't tell a boy you hurt yourself after they left. They won't come back no matter what you do.

8. When you know you're in a toxic friendship, leave immediately.

9. When the boy you love cheats on you, do not forgive him. Do not trust him. You stayed out of his mind long enough for him to go to another girl.

10. When someone hurts you and says it was a mistake, do not believe them because they will only hurt you again.

11. If you know you're not in a healthy relationship, leave right then. It will only cause more problems if you decide to stay.

12. People who hurt you and then blame you do not deserve you.

13. Only spend 24 hours getting over a guy. You'll meet someone who is worthy of you soon enough.

14. Do not be afraid to get out there. Wear a new style, change your hair, flirt with boys, hang out with your best friends you haven't seen in awhile. You'll find happiness somewhere.

15. When someone who no longer wants to talk to you, messages you out of the blue saying they miss you, delete the message and do not reply. Ignore the pain in your heart and turn on your favorite sing-along song.

16. Sometimes your sibling is the best person you can confide in.

17. Study more. You will find you are happy when you bring home good grades.

18. Forget about the people who forgot about you. Forget those who don't love you. You don't need them. If they wanted to be in your life, they would've never left.
