One piece of advice? “There’s nothing more attractive than being 100% yourself and being completely honest about what YOU like and enjoy. Life is so much easier when you don’t stress about what to wear, the things you’ve yet to accomplish, or who likes you. Everything that you set your mind to will come in due time. But if it doesn’t, it only means God has better arrangements.”
