Throughout this weekend, I spent time with my cousins and aunts and uncles. That time was also time to talk. While I talked to my cousin, she also gave me life lessons and so did my aunt and I'd like to share the lessons with you because I want to be here for for you and help you.
1.You can't please everyone. There are just going to be some people that don't like you.
One of my aunts heard me and my cousins talking about it that I try to please everyone so everyone is happy, so then she told me "In life you can't please people, there are just gonna be some people who won't like you. What this means is that if you are trying to make everyone like you, don't try. You can't please anyone and if you are spending time making someone trying to like you, just stop because it's waste of time.
2.You can't find true friends until later in life.
Sure you think friends are forever but you are still learning and growing. So you don't really know what or who true friends are. Like me, I just thought that my friends were forever but hate to break it you but somehow we were gonna drift apart because everybody wants to be something different. If you think you have no friends right now, just wait you'll eventually get friends and they might be true.
3.Friends should tell the truth. Not should, they tell the truth even if it hurts.
I may not have enough experience with this but I know I'm being lied to or have been.Let me tell you it's not the best feeling. So always tell the truth even if it hurts.
4.If you're not happy, then stop or don't do it.
For example, I loved playing a sport but I felt that I didn't fit in so then I got down on myself. I beat myself for every single mistake I made. I'm not the only who beat my self up, I could see in my teammates eyes that they were judging me.So then that didn't make me happy.So I decided not to play anymore. Do what makes you happy.
5. Acquaintances
People you just talk to to, your friends just someone to talk to.
6. You can't drive in the dark with lights.
This is a metaphor, just saying. By this I mean if you are going through a dark time, you need to focus on the positives. Try your hardest to focus on the positives.
Truth Time About Myself:
I'm not pretty. I'm not the skinniest. I'm not talented. I play my music loud to block out the world I live in. I'm not normal. I'm independent. I'm not good at anything. I don't talk about my feelings out loud and that's why I write this book. I'm not perfect. I fall apart everyday. My family's not perfect. I like being alone.
