PART 1
1. Your true friends aren’t the ones you’ve known the longest, rather people who’ve got your back. Do you know how important such people are? They’d die for you when the backstabbers decide to hit.
2. You and your best friends will grow apart. You won’t fight or steal each other’s boyfriends, you just will. Not that there’s no spark anymore, there is. But you’ll get busy, so so busy and this person will slowly slip away.
3. You do not have to broadcast your every high and low. I knew this before, and I was doing it on Instagram, facebook and twitter, and to me that was ok. But I was doing it everywhere else (My Space mostly.) Like if I got a new crush, the top 7 besties would be informed. That kind of ‘openness’ isn’t necessary and is almost always regretted.
4. You will meet your almost-soulmate. This guy is just something else. You have a bunch of things in common, you think alike and he will get your weirdness and complement you perfectly. You will think he’s ‘the one’ but things won’t work out. You don’t have to fight, he’ll just be the one that got away.
5. Waiting is a lifestyle not a choice, as is Christianity. You can decide to be a Christian but if you do not make it your lifestyle then it’s a poor investment. Waiting needs to be a lifestyle. You have to constantly remind yourself why it is important because temptation will arise.
6. Life goes on, with or without you. It’s so shocking how fast time moves. Approaching the end of my fourth year ‘outside’ ( high school.) the reality dawns on me. I meet my former school mates in the CBD almost every week (unplanned for of course.) and some are working, some are doing crazy courses in the university and others have amazing marriages and some boyfriends. (Others not.) Life waits for no man so enjoy the present because you’ll never be as young as you are now.
7. Time heals. How cliché, but oh how true. I wish you knew the weight those two words carry. You will get heartbroken by a guy who was too busy to see you on your birthday and during your next one, you will spend the better part of the day with a boy more beautiful than you and your old news won't cross your mind. Not even once.
So keep remind yourself there are people worth meeting because it is sad that as we are busy crying over a guy there are a million others out there that we are not aware of.
8. Express yourself. Don't be scared of saying how you feel, or what you think. In short be yourself. If you're a sensitive emotional girl, or a boy who loves pink, flaunt it. I saw a tweet early in the morning that said, "be crazy, be random, be weird because you'll never know who'll love the person you hide"
9. Its not always about you. The photo won't be deleted because you don't look nice in it, the music everyone is enjoying wont be changed because it reminds you of your ex.
How do we like to think that this is life...starring Kanali, Jenny or Higg. NO. This is life and guess what, you and 7 billion other people have leading roles, good luck. Treat each other with respect because you're all equal. So next time your feeling better than everyone else, remember you are busy boasting over a spotlight you share with the whole world. Lets see how well that goes. :-)
10. It is what you tell yourself everyday and who is around you. Remember perception: its all in the mind. Are the voices in your head making you grow or are they belittling you as the day goes by. And if its the latter, are the people around you trying to make you see otherwise? Knowing who your true friends are is easy. You just need to be keen.
11. You don't have to proove them wrong. We have all been in that situation where people doubt you and say how you can't make it. Well, you dont always have to proove to them, as long as you know it deep down that you can and you will, then you go go go. Just dont doubt yourself. It kills more dreams than failure ever will. Just be crazy enough to think you can :-)
