A Year Older

Hello blogfam...so my birthday was yesterday and it was fun...had a great time. So this post might be a bit short because am so tired and a bit hungover I think...am not even sure sef but I had to get myself out of bed and write a post cos I can't let you guys down

So yesterday I was a year older and it got me thinking because this time last year, I was with Mr S and spent my birthday with him and I have decided to tell you guys about the relationship lessons I learnt from being with Mr S because, even though I was hurt, my time with him has made me become a better person..

No preconceived notions..like don't go around thinking every boy you meet is the one..just meet people and build friendships, get to know them first as friends, before anything else...and this brings me to my second lesson..

Never assume...this was one of the best lessons I learnt, don't think you know what the other person is thinking or what they are feeling...let them spell it out for you. When you meet someone and you like the person and you think they like you back, ask them....let them define the relationship...if you know the person doesn't like you but is like kissing you, calling you like ten times...he/she is just leading you on...you will get hurt. Cut off all that and tell the person to keep moving.....

Thirdly, when it comes to relationships or forging new friendships, keep your expectations to the barest minimum, this is the greatest lesson ever...having the high expectations about someone who just likes you and is not even a boyfriend or girlfriend yet is just putting stress on you and the person's relationship. Keeping your expectations to the barest minimum helps you not to fget disappointed...

Lastly and most importantly, live your life....Never let a boy dictate your happiness, moods, interests...don't live your life for a boy, because you will end up regretting it..Even if you are in a relationship..it's great to have shared interests...but also have separate hobbies/interests....do things for yourself outside the relationship....Like I really wanted to do an Europe tour last year but because Mr S wasn't interested, I cancelled it and now I don't have the chance anymore. So people live your lives..be happy, thankful and grateful for life....YOLO baby!!!!

So that's all people...Jumoke's words of wisdom...loool. So hope you guys liked the post and learnt something....have a blessed and great day.
