“Not everyone’s going to make you their priority, and that’s exactly why you need to make yourself numero uno. People are flaky, but you? You’re a constant. So, put yourself at the top of your own list. Love yourself, pamper yourself, and treat yourself like the VIP you are. If you don’t prioritize you, who will? Make sure your happiness is in your hands and not in the fickle hands of others. Be your own biggest fan, & watch how life starts cheering you on too.”

“Make your praise specific, not "You're a great poet," but, "I love that line about green hair the color of Sprite cans." Sweeping compliments are often dismissed by teenagers and can make them feel the pressure of unrealistic expectations. When you respond specifically to something concrete they have already done, they can really take it in.”

“Yes, I know I am not perfect. I make mistakes, I overthink, and I overreact, too, but at least I am not like you. At least I don’t use people and then throw them out of my life when I am done. I don’t pretend to care just to fill my empty moments. When I give my time, I mean it. When I care, I genuinely do. I don’t treat people like options or memories that can be erased when they no longer serve me. Maybe I would have hurt you, but who doesn't hurt? Have you not hurt me ever?”
