the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

An important message for overachieving women:

Your friendships will continue to fall apart until you learn to stop expecting things from people who are not what you’ve pictured them to be in your mind.

If you’re an introvert and someone who values deep connections or intellect, don’t expect extroverts to have the same level of introspection and hobbies as you. If you like to dress and carry yourself in a dignified, feminine, and outstanding manner, don’t expect people with different personalities and self-concepts to mirror your appearance and feel the same desire to put forward a polished image of themselves. If you have certain values you won’t compromise on, don’t expect those with different beliefs to honor them back to you as well.

Only by learning to see others for who they truly are and not who you wish they’d be, and based on that information choosing to either keep them or simply move on, will you be able to find peace with the people you are with. We are not meant to be compatible with everyone, and THAT IS OK. Understanding this doesn’t make you or the other person inherently bad. If someone is not for you, there will be others who will be.

You don’t have to change them, you just have to move on.

Learn to Say Less Than Needed.

The less you speak, and the more conviction, authority, and calculation your words have when you do and increases the value of what you have to say and your outer persona. The more you speak, the less your words are valued and the more you make yourself vulnerable to others.

This is something I'm practicing. Every thought that comes across our heads is not supposed to be vocalized. We should be curating what we say carefully and be strategic with our words. The power of life and death lies on the tongue, and a well-trained and sharp tongue can be a powerful weapon when utilized correctly.

From now on, every time I feel like oversharing, giving an opinion on a controversial subject, or about someone directly, I assess the situation and how my speaking my thoughts can affect my proximity to whatever I'm trying to achieve. It's all about being strategic.

Unfortunately, it's easy to give up to reckless speaking when everyone else seems to be doing just that - especially on social media. It's good to take a deep breath before doing the same thing as others, after all, more often than not we are not trying to emulate the ways of the common folk.

Toughen up. Yeah, I said it. It's time you stop expecting the world around you to bend to your feelings. The harsh reality is that other people don't care about you and only you are responsible for your well-being. Stop taking what others say personally and stop placing so much value on the opinions of nobodies. So what if they don't like you? Do they even like themselves? Do YOU like them?.

Once you've mastered the art of detachment from the perception of others and lower your expectations of people who haven't made any pledge of commitment towards you, it will become easier to develop a thicker skin, to become more laser-focused on you and your own well-being, and to disregard that and those who do you no good.

In a world of snowflakes, be a diamond, which never breaks or bends under pressure.

Stop oversharing with people just because they are nice to you.
