Giving more than I was getting.
Im the first to give the shirt Im wearing off my back to someone.
God & Man
Giving people too many chances.
Hanging onto toxic people.
Sometimes the people we love most arent healthy for us.
God & Man
We all talk about people sometimes.
But if it will catch up to you.
Valuing people more than myself.
When you truly love yourself and take care of yourself you wont gravitate toward people who do anything differently.
Associating with people who didnt respect me.
Normal people dont walk around treating others badly because they feel like it.
Its not easy when someone says something bad about you and not take it personally or believe it.
Trying too hard for the wrong people.
Trying too hard for the wrong people will always leave you empty like its not enough.
Be confident in every choice you make and dont let outside factors influence the things you tell yourself.
Apologize when youre wrong not when someone is making you feel like you are.
Letting fear paralyze me.
The best thing you’ve got the option to do is make every choice that scares you most.
Worrying about what people thought of me.
What people think and say about you is none of your business

I started listening to my close friends.
Take their advice and insight into consideration.
Going out when I didnt want to.
Its okay to want to stay in on a night out.
Its okay to call it quits if the night is sucking.
Choosing people who didnt choose me.
Investing time and emotion and energy into someone who doesnt value everything you are is a losing game.
And what you are going to lose is yourself trying to keep someone like that.
Comparing myself to others.
The only person you should be competing with is the person you were yesterday.
Theres being a nice person and being too nice to overcompensate for insecurities.
It took me a while to decipher which I was doing and why.
Sometimes you gotta take a step back and the person you gotta be nicest to is yourself.
I stopped looking at the word selfish as negative.
But being a little more selfish means you have self respect.
Focusing on yourself and your goals and dreams will pay off for you in the long run.
