Number one never let someone look at your partner and be able to gauge how little you love yourself. Number two, do not let a man convince you that you lose value as you age. The older you get, the more you get. Number three. Exceptions should only be made for exceptional people. So always remember that before you make an exception for a mediocre man. Number four. Seduction is not a performance for men. It is something that you should be using on yourself also. And I promise you are going to feel like a goddess. Number five. Your body and your pleasure belong to you, not anybody else. You simply share yourself with other people. Number six. Fill up your own cup with seduction and love first. That way you don't show up in the world craving validation from other people. Number seven. Learn to love on yourself and whatever your love language is. Number eight. You cannot actively ask for a level of love, attention, and consideration that you are actively withholding from yourself. Number nine. Dress like you are already famous. Number 10. The just one thing is usually the entire thing. For example oh my god, he would be perfect, but his hygiene needs to be better. Then he's not perfect. No. 11. Sometimes going back to an old partner is just a fear of expanding and having new experiences. Number 12. Make a list called I will commit when and you're gonna use this for your friendships, jobs, and your relationships. Number 13. Your worth and your standards are never things that you should have to negotiate. And if you find yourself negotiating, you're begging and you need to leave. Number 14. Your standards are not things to be bargained for. Number 15. Your heart is not meant to be *held by everyone. Your heart is not meant to be experienced by everyone. Number 16. Not everyone is equipped to love you, let alone love you the way that you actually need to be loved. Number 17. Always be prepared to walk away with nothing for. 18. Never give up more than you are prepared to see them walk away with. Number 19. Other people's opinions are none of your business. Only opinion that should matter about your life is your own. 20. There are thousands of different versions of you that exist, and they are all based on the fact that everyone is different and they have different perceptions of you. 21. Worrying is imagining the wrong future on purpose, and that's from your big sis. Bye.
