FMM Monday!!

It's another Monday, which means another FMM Monday. YAY! Today Kasey at All That is Good hit me with a hard question.

What is the Best Advice someone has ever given you?

I have so much advice, but didn't really know which one to use. I thought about some things that have been happening with my friends, well not so much of my friends anymore and have settled on a quote that really sums it all up. I am a quote-aholic and found this quote a while back and it has helped me lately to stop letting my so called friends run all over me.

So ladies, I ask you to speak your voice,even if you voice shakes. Don't let anyone run all over you. Don't stay friends with someone who treats you like crap, just for the simple fact that you feel they are the only friend you have. Obviously if they treat you like crap they really dont care about your feelings and they shouldn't be your friends anyways.

A lot of you know some of what I've been going on with my best friend. I've been told by my parents and family to just let her go and stop letting her torture me. During spring break she swapped my prom party behind my back and didnt plan on telling me, this was after she invited the whole magnet class to a party at my house that was only supposed to be a few friends, and also after she was trying to talk to my much older brother behind my back. I finally got so tired of her telling me who I was going to be friends with, what I was going to do and who I was going to do it with that I told her that we were done. I don't need a friend like that. She went around school all week making everyone mad at me and guess what, I found out who my real friends were Saturday when the real ones showed up at my house no matter what she said.
I'm so happy I found that quote and let it sink in and I hope anybody who is in a type of situation like I am in takes this advice. This advice can actually be used torward anything that you need to speak your mind about, but for me it was my very own best friend.

I hope you all have a good day and I would love to hear your advice!

I think this advice was the best I have read all day. I live by that rule as I call it. No one needs to be treated badly. Stick up for yourself even if it means you might lose a friend your self respect will benefit from it.

It's important to remember to have your voice heard, and not let anyone take that away from you. Hope things get better soon.
