    I can't stress this one enough, you CANNOT, repeat CANNOT, cut your own hair. You don't know how. You have straight cut bangs that will not magically turn into side-swept bangs by cutting off the side of your hair.

    I need photographic evidence of this. Otherwise I don’t believe it.

    A lot of people talk BS. Just because they're an adult doesnt mean what they're saying is truthful. Be more suspicious.

    to you

    Is...is that a bad thing?

    well

    For me, yes.

    Oh, can I ask why?

    You want to know why I like what I like? I’m not sure how to answer that.

    Oh, I thought there was a reason behind it outside of personal taste. But if its just personal preference then, cool beans.

    Don't pick up that cigarette to impress that cute guy. You'll spend the next 15 years trying to kick that addiction. *And I won! :)

    Well done! I quit 5 years ago. Also started to impress a cute guy :disappointed:

    Don't listen to your Mum. She has deep-rooted shame about her alcoholism and she's poisonous, inflicting her self-loathing on everyone else.

    Choose your friends wisely. Don't bend for anyone. Don't let anyone bully you. Always speak your truth. Don't be afraid to tell sh*tty people to *kitten* off. 🤗
