I Had a Nice Time And Other Lies...: How to find love & sh*t like that Read Online Free Page B

you’re good at. You’re probably smarter or funnier or chiller than them. (Probably.) Just because you’re not THE most beautiful person in the world does not mean you have to get down on hotties because of their hotness. Get over your insecurities, and accept that you are unique and bring a lot of shit to the table.

The Mental
    The reason we addressed the physical first is because most people think that their insecurities are entirely superficial. But in reality, even the most physical ones stem from your perception of yourself. No matter what you think your shortcoming is, whether it’s your weight, the awkward length of your arms, bad breath in the morning or scoliosis, figure out how to nip it in the bud. And by “bud” we mean “your loud brain” and by “nip” we mean “telling it to shut the fuck up.”
    “My mom always used to say, ‘You can’t say I love you before you can say I.’ And I think that sort of makes sense.”

    If you have like, real issues that are super dark, we highly suggest you go to a therapist. Not because you’re helpless, but because they’re super helpful. And maybe go to the kind that prescribes you shit. She’ll guide you through your problems and give you a little something for the “pain.” Win-win. But with many girls, their real issues stem from past relationships. And in order to get into a new one guess what you have to do? Get the fuck over it.
    Betches Throughout History: Oprah Winfrey
    Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
    Born into deep poverty, Oprah Winfrey is now the richest self-made betch in America. Oprah has struggled with relationship issues her whole life and never got married because she has a long history of being with abusive men who made her feel insecure. CNN and Time have called her the “world’s most powerful woman,” yet Oprah has had to struggle with accepting herself after a childhood of sexual abuse. Which like, totally sucks. In an interview, she stated that she “needed everyone to like me because I didn’t like myself much. So I’d end up with these cruel, self-absorbed guys who’d tell me how selfish I was, and I’d say, ‘Oh thank you, you’re so right’ and be grateful to them. Because I had no sense that I deserved anything else.”
    Oprah is a great example of how even the most talented and powerful betch has insecurities and how loving yourself can’t be bought. Thinking you’re the shit is a lifelong journey and even if you are literally one of the richest, most powerful people in the world, you can still fall prey to defining your worth based on the opinions of others if you don’t recognize your own inner greatness. You’re welcome for that history lesson.
GETTING OVER YOUR EX-WHATEVER
    He doesn’t have to be an actual ex-boyfriend to have fucked with your head. Whether you’ve just gotten out of a real relationship or a pseudo one, you still committed your thoughts to one person. And now that it’s over, your thoughts naturally must go elsewhere. Sure, you have an uncanny ability to talk at length about this season’s Essie colors or whether Kourtney and Scott’s love for one another is eternal, but your mind will eventually find its way back to the guy whom you couldn’t stop thinking about a week or even a month ago. But you have to stop thinking about him before you can let yourself start thinking about someone else (besides yourself, obviously).
    “Power is being told you’re not loved and not being destroyed by it.”

    If you had it easy and had actual closure to your relationship, all you really have to do is wait. Time, Netflix, and SoulCycle heal all wounds. Embrace them. Keep reminding yourself that your breakup was for the best and that even though life sucks right now, it will be so much
