Learn how to say no. Just because the “nice girl” always ends up with the “bad boy” in movies doesn’t mean you have to suffer just to be loved the right way.
If something doesn’t feel right, speak up. Say no.
All those rules telling you to shrink yourself, to give up your peace just to seem like a “good person”? Burn them. Let them think you're a bad person as long as they learn to respect you for standing your ground.
Be that girl. The one who does what she needs to do not what everyone wants her to do.
Tell them no. Tell them you're busy. Tell them you’ve got other things to focus on because you do. Even if what you’ve got planned is a nap? Baby, that’s valid. Cancel that date. Miss that call if it’s gonna drain you.
Protect your peace like it’s sacred. Because it is. Be bold. Be clear. Be AM-*****-OUS.
