What to Know.

Let's follow just a few rules.

one of my favorite rupi kaur pieces. 

As a high school senior, I know nothing. I went to public high school. This is no exaggeration.

These are some basic rules that all humans should follow. All genders, races, sexualities, should follow these.

1.) That ex? Is an ex for a reason. Don't go back. Maybe they manipulated you. Maybe they cheated. Maybe they were a piece of garbage that abused you. Don't ever do it.

2.) Trust your gut. If it says somebody sucks or might cause problems, believe it.

3.) Make friends. Even if you think you "haveenough," let's be real, you don't. Friend that person sitting next to you in Calculus or at the next cubicle over.

4.) Make time for yourself. I see all the time self-care is "cutting toxic people out" or doing a face mask with a green blend that resembles sewage. But both of these are self-care. It doesn't matter, as long as you do it for you.

5.) Have control. Don't ever let someone take the wheel from you. You deserve to make your own decisions.

I might be a high school senior, but these rules came way too late.

Have a great day!
