- Always be comfortable in what you wear, both physically and mentally.
- There’s no sense in wearing shoes you can’t walk in.
- The most comfortable and carefree outfit is a dress.
- Never underestimate the power of a scarf,
- it can change an outfit,
- and if need be, serve as a blanket.
- Never say you are bored
- because there is always something you could be doing
- and one day you will be wishing you were “bored.”
- If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t
- and sometimes you need to walk away, even if it’s the hardest thing to do.
- That’s a decision you have to make on your own.
- You don’t always have to make the right decision.
- Make mistakes. Lots of them.
- But learn and grow from them.
- You will change and it’s not a bad thing,
- but don’t change who you are for other people
- because some of the most interesting people are considered “weird.”
- Sometimes girls are mean,
- but it’s often because they are jealous.
- Never act like you are better than someone
- because there’s always someone who is better than you.
- But still walk with you head high and shoulders back,
- because confidence is key.
- Sing and dance when you think no one is watching, even if it’s in the car,
- or on a truck because you don’t get that chance often.
- College is the time of your life,
- and you will find some of your closest friends there.
- So, don’t waste time chasing boys wearing backwards hats,
- or any boy who thinks he’s better than you
- because boys aren’t worth chasing,
- dreams are.
- If you don’t ask, you won’t get,
- and you won’t get anywhere in life without hard work.
- Even though you can’t always be the best at something,
- be your best,
- and be proud of what you do.
- There’s no use in complaining if something doesn’t go your way.
- Everyone is dealing with their own problems,
- and how they cope with them shows their true colors.
- No matter what you are going through remember, life goes on.
- You are alive today, so cherish that.
- Take in every second because you will never get them back.
- Bring snacks, even if it’s a cupcake,
- because you should count your blessings, not calories.
- Be thankful for everything,
- and handwrite thank you notes, even for the little things.
- Always make time to call,
- because hearing her voice can instantly take you home.
- She taught me to always remember that no one will ever love me as much as she does!
