GROW UP 103; 20 THINGS BIG GIRLS KNOW
[I was like, adulting 101 but do I sound like an adult to yall lol]
- Too many cooks spoil the broth.
- “Joint savings-” SCAM. that’s all I’ll say.
- You are single until there’s a prenuptial on your table. Not a ring. Not until he decides it’s exclusive. Not until you meet his mom. Not until you’ve written your vows- until there’s a prenuptial on your table. You. Are. Single. He is on . Rotation
- Human beings are animals before they are people. Read that again.
- What you don’t know you either fear or worship.
- What you don’t pay for in currency you pay for in your time & attention and that’s ultimately more expensive. Money you can get back. Time gone is gone.
- Anything that depreciates in value is a liability. The opposite is also true.
- Anyone in your life that is not actively working to level up or better themselves is a liability. Crab mentality is a thing.
- Experiences >> possessions. In fact experiences are all that life is about.
- A job that steals you from your life is a problem. Whatever the pay is. You’d rather have a low paying job that’s only 8 hours a day over a nine figure that’s 13 hours a day.your job is supposed to facilitate your life, not steal it.
- The grass is greener exactly where it’s watered
- What does not work for you you work for. What you do not control controls you.
- Jack of all trades is a master of none but better than a master of one.
- Many ways lead to Rome. There is more than one way to kill a rat.
- There is no such thing as free thinking choose your influences carefully.
- If it separates the wheat from the chaff let it be
- Time you’ve enjoyed wasting is still time wasted
- Competition is imaginary babe its you against you. Always. It’s you you need to look out for
- You can love a monster, it can even love you back & protect you from the other monsters- that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a monster. You do not lie with dogs and complain of fleas.
- Neutrality is a lie either its for you or against you.
The girls that get it, get it. The girls that don’t, find out.

mentally — journal: do a brain dump · meditate · remove toxic people and triggering things from your life · recite self love affirmations · think happy thoughts · if negative thoughts come, it’s okay, that’s inevitable.. let them be but don’t let them stay · take walks to clear your mind (watch your surroundings-be careful) · block, unfollow, and mute accounts online that make you feel bad about yourself · disconnect from the world - social media - the news etc often in order to make peace your priority, reset and recharge
emotionally — allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you’re feeling : cry - scream -laugh - smile .. let it out · process your feelings, the good and bad ones · try to understand them and try to work your way through them · journal daily · tell people how you feel and how they make you feel because keeping things like this bottled up isn’t good · be kind to yourself · be patient with yourself · know that your feelings are always valid and no one can ever tell you how to feel about something
physically — exercise · try yoga/pilates · drink enough water every day · try to eat breakfast lunch and dinner daily · brush your teeth in the morning and before bed · wash and deep condition your hair · don’t skip your skin care routine · get mani/pedis · practice good hygiene/shower regularly · moisturize your skin · get facials · get enough sleep · use sunscreen
