Whitney, 25, Washington, DC, USA

I was told once by my older sister something that has stuck with me for years. It is very simple, but so very powerful and true. She told me: "Whitney, you can NEVER be in a happy successful relationship until you are totally and completely happy being single." 

I told her to shove it at the time. 

Now, 5-6 years later, I know exactly what she meant. How can you make someone else happy if you aren't happy with yourself? How will you be able to stand on your own two feet if you have depended on someone else your whole life? I hate to admit it sometimes, but big sister knows best!! (Sometimes...)

The Secret To Being Your F-in Self

Something I've learned in my short 29 years on this beautiful planet--it's really pretty easy, but so difficult to many. Be your f-in' self. Don't act like someone you're not, just to impress a group of friends or whomever. Let people love U 4 U; if they can't do that, then those people shouldn't be in your life. I know this first hand cuz I was like that for a while back in my younger days. Seriously, I was not me, I was who my "friends" wanted me to be and my life sucked now that I look back. Do I regret anything in my past? No, never cuz I learned from all that bull shit & it made me who I am today. The secret is: be yourself & in due time, the right group--the TRU friends--will surround you and life will be great.
