What is going on today LiyiaTribe!!!!!! It is another beautiful Tuesday at Under the Layers and thank you for tuning in. Today is March 9, 2021, and we will basically be doing a continuation conversation on what I discussed Sunday, which was Growth. Now I am not going to be talking about the same things that I did on Sunday, but it will be covering the same aspect on how I have grown as a person so far in my life. If you want just a little more insight into my life, feel free to check out my homepage where you can see brief segments about present-day Caliyia. Remember that throughout each week you will also still learn more about me since I am still learning about myself. Without further ado, let us get into some life lessons I have come face to face.
Lessons I’ve Learned
1. Making mistakes is not a bad thing, everything happens for a reason. ~ I am soo tired of people thinking you have to be perfect like who are you? If you are not providing for me or helping me in life, your opinion does not matter. Mistakes happen and they are good for this thing called “Growing Up” which mean people that I use to hang out with lack. I have made plenty of mistakes in my life so far and yeah a lot of them left me hurt and lost in the end, but I did not give up even if I wanted to I did not.
2. Taking time to reevaluate a situation from the past is good for moving forward. ~ Taking time to look over a situation no matter if it has been days, months, or even years is good for moving on forward with your life. I have been many situations where something has happened and my defense mechanism is to be quiet, if I have a problem I chose not to address it. I honestly do not know why I do this; I guess it is because I don’t want the drama of the situation to light. Like let us say I have a problem, I explain to someone, and the person doesn’t see it, what was the point of bringing it up? So basically what I am trying to say is it’s ok to miss someone after time has passed and think about things that could’ve changed and stuff like that. When you find that much peace in your life where you can just see them in a positive light you have moved on.
3. Time management is substantial when dealing with friendships and relationships. ~ When being in my first relationship ever I did not handle it well, I was just happy that I could get a boyfriend at the size I was. I lost myself and let the relationship take over me, even though it was toxic and bad for my mental health I stayed because I didn’t want to be alone, I believed that I would never find someone for me again. This made me shut out my friends completely like all of them, I am thankful that even when my relationship ended and I was in a bad place that all of my friends were there for me. Moral of the story is make time for everyone in your life, even if you meet up with your friends just to do homework together never forget anyone because you wouldn’t want people to treat you like that.
4. Even though you were friends with someone for a long time and had a tight bond, you do not have to be friends with them forever. ~ This one was a hard pill to swallow because I had some rough riders that I thought was going to be in my wedding, and be my kids Aunties or God Mothers. Times change and people change, also your friend today may not be your friend in 10 years, friendships are just like some relationships. They do not last forever and that is okay you will make more friends and build memories and relationships with them. It is all a part of growing up.
My life lessons put me in some situations that I did not want to be in, but I am not made at anything that has happened to me this far. Without going through everything I have went through, I would still be the self-centered, immature, asshole child that I was. Last year and even so far in this year has been good for me, I have cleared out so many negative things in my life. Whether it was dealing with people, situations, or even my own negative outlook on life. So I hope this could help some of you guys understand that growing up is just a part of life, if you feel like as a person you want to change for the better then write out steps and ways on how you can do that. I know that this can be a platform if I keep pushing and moving forward with it. I did drop a YouTube video a couple weeks ago on doing my makeup under LED lights, so make sure that you check that out and let me know how I did, feedback helps become a better YouTuber. In addition, I will be dropping a YouTube video this Thursday so stay tuned, and it will be on an Official Car Tour/ Decorate My Car With Me!!!!!!! This video is long over due, but now since I have a whole lot of free time on my hands I can focus on other things besides school. Anyways p lease look out for that and Like, Comment, and Subscribe! That is going to wrap up todays blog post guys, I hope someone likes what I’m putting down on here lol, but if not at least I am entertaining myself. PEACE!
