Things you should know

1. Being alone does not mean you are lonely, and being lonely does not mean you are alone. 2. Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can. 3. Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you. It takes someone really special to stay in your life and show how much they love you. 4. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy clothes. Don’t save it for a special occasion; today is special. 5. Love and appreciate your parents. We are often so busy growing up, we forget they are also growing old. 6. When you have to start compromising yourself and your morals for the people around you, it’s probably time to change the people around you. 7. Learn to love yourself first, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you. 8. When someone tells you, “You’ve changed,” it might simply be because you’ve stopped living your life their way. 9. Someone else doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right. 10. Be happy. Be yourself. If others don’t like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody.
