You are the boss of your body nobody else if your boyfriend says he loves you but ask you or tells you that he does not want to wear a condom he does not love you because if he loved you he would be trying to protect you if you love him you would be on birth control to protect him it's called love you do it the right way

When you were born when I was born we were all giving a gift that gift is choice we get to choose who we want to be in life by the things we say and do

So if people talk crap about you if people put you down don't listen to them because usually they don't even know you they just like to hear themselves talk but you choose who you want to be and walk that line

Stay away from people that create drama judgment or they have ignorance because those are people that usually don't like themselves so they have to talk crap about other people to think that they fit in

When reality is they don't have to talk about nobody about nothing about anybody not unless it's positive those people usually don't like themselves but they come into our lives to hold us back from getting ahead to keep us caught up in that drama world stay away from those people

Find your religion no matter what it is I've never even read the Bible before but I know a lot that's in there for some reason I do believe in my God my God is the universe his son Jesus Christ is our God

Learn to Love yourself become one with yourself one with others and one with this universe
If our body is our Temple it came from God that's where God lives within us we are a part of God do as he would do you have all the right tools on the inside of you to become the best person you can actually become but it's all the choice it's up to you

Be your leader not a follower a leader you can do and go any place you want a follower you fall down it's how you get back up that's going to make you better person

There is no such thing as failure because you cannot have success without failure it doesn't mean that you failed and you're no good and blah blah blah it means it's a stepping stone it's a learning process so no matter what you never stop one foot in front of the other no matter what do not allow yourself to beat yourself up if you do something wrong because guess what everybody in the world we've been there we've done it

Love everybody give help to people that need it even when you don't want to it will all come back to you one day

And always smile show people who you are from the inside out because that's all that matters is how beautiful your heart is if you have a beautiful heart your kind your wise you're smart you're happy and you can smile it will show it to the outside you're outside will be just an extra bonus

And whatever you do to not be afraid to say that you were wrong if you were wrong acknowledge it accept it and say sorry I was wrong and start all over again it's not that big of a deal

And don't lie if you lie it's because you're trying to either protect yourself or you don't like yourself so you have to become somebody else

When we do things in life we do them for a reason it's okay to have a reason why you did something if it's going to back your play you don't need to lie about it that's for sure don't worry about hurting people's feelings they'll get over it but they won't get over that you lied to them

I don't know I probably have about 20 or 30 more but that's a tip of my tongue or brain I can't remember right now LOL good luck make things happen for you yourself because nobody else is going to do it for you be strong be smart be wise and be happy

If you're ever lost anywhere and your phone is running out of battery, change your voicemail message to whatever you can identify around you. Even if your phone is dead they'll get the voicemail message.

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR YOU IPHONE USERS:

Connect to a satellite with your iPhone

With iPhone 14 or later (all models), you can connect your iPhone to a satellite to text emergency services, request roadside assistance, message friends and family, and share your location — all while you're off the grid with no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.

How satellite connection works on iPhone

Satellites move rapidly, have low bandwidth, and are located hundreds of miles away from Earth. So, when you use a satellite connection, the experience is different than sending or receiving a message via cellular:

In ideal conditions with a direct view of the sky and the horizon, a message might take 30 seconds to send. It might take over a minute to send under trees with light or medium foliage.

If you're under heavy foliage or surrounded by other obstructions, you might not be able to connect to a satellite.

Connection times can also be impacted by your surroundings, the length of your message, and the status and availability of the satellite network.

To use satellite connectivity, your iPhone must have compatible software. Before you go somewhere with no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage, you should update to the latest version of iOS.

Satellite features are included for free for two years with the activation of an iPhone 14 or later (all models).

Connect to a satellite with your iPhone

Starting in iOS 18, the Connection Assistant helps you access satellite features and connect to a satellite when you are somewhere with no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. When you open Connection Assistant, your iPhoneprovides onscreen instructions to connect.

Open Connection Assistant
You can open the Connection Assistant in Control Center or in the Settings app:

In Control Center: Swipe down from the top right corner of your iPhone to open Control Center, then tap the Cellular button on the right. Tap Satellite, then choose a satellite feature.

In the Settings app: Open Settings, then tap Satellite and choose a satellite feature.

If you have cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, the Satellite option in Settings won't appear and the Satellite option in Control Center opens the Satellite Connection Demo.

How to connect to a satellite
Be outside with a clear view of the sky and the horizon.

Be aware that trees with light foliage might slow down the connection. Dense foliage, hills or mountains, canyons, and tall structures might block the connection.

Hold your iPhone naturally in your hand. You don't need to raise your arm or hold your phone up, but don't put it in a pocket or backpack.

If you need to turn left or right or move to avoid a blocked signal, your iPhone provides onscreen instructions.

The satellite connection can be maintained even if your phone screen is locked.

Satellite connectivity might not work in places above 62° latitude, such as northern parts of Alaska.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

If your happiness relies on the actions of others, you will never be happy.

Your thoughts are not necessarily you, your brain is made to constantly think and there are a lot of thoughts that will just spring up because your brain wants to fill that need to find something to think about. You can learn to dismiss these thoughts like you would pop-up ads on a computer.

Listen to those that have your best interest at heart, whether that's your mother, best friend, or significant other. Especially your parents and grandparents. They usually have a lot of wisdom that you may not want to listen to but is valid advice.

Don't get tattoos, have casual sex, drink alcohol, or do drugs.

When you look for a long term partner in the future, make sure they don't have a past of the things I suggested you avoid yourself. Also, when you are in your 20s, that is the best opportunity you will have to find a good quality partner.

Don't take out student loans, but do get some certification/degree with free federal PELL grants that offer an employable skill. Take online classes when possible to avoid some of the liberal lies and immorality often found in schools.

Focus on the positive things in your life and express gratitude for them, and surround yourself with positive people. Ignore the miserable attitudes that some people have, especially what you read on sites like this one.

Find a way to make your passion your career. If you really love what you do then you'll never "work" a day because you'll look forward to going to work.

Low body count (disgusting term) means high value. Know what you're worth and don't accept anything less.

genericname85 · Answer

you're never gonna be 100% sure that you're going in the right direction. just go and hope you don't crash. and if you do, make sure you draw the lessons for course corrections. that's the best you can do. good friends and family can help you avoid the dumbest mistakes.

I try to follow my father's sage advice...

"If you can't find something nice to say about someone, don't say anything."

\... which has a corollary...

If you really dislike someone, just stay away from them.

The more is better mentality doesn't always bring the best results, keep your circles small and always form those circles using trust, love and loyalty and if those three aren't returned, it's not for the circles.

It's REAL cliche, but be yourself. Changing who you are to please others or attract friends will only make people like who they think you are, not who you are. Living a fake life is not fulfilling.
