I’ve experienced friendship drama a few times, and it’s not easy. What worked for me was not jumping to conclusions or assuming the worst. I tried to be patient and honest with my friends, and eventually, we were able to rebuild trust.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that self-confidence isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being comfortable with your imperfections. I began to feel more confident when I stopped trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and started focusing on what makes me happy.
I was told to keep my resume clear and concise, so I focused on listing my most relevant skills and experiences. For my cover letter, I used specific examples of projects I worked on, explaining how they prepared me for the role I was applying for.
I’m passionate about photography and started taking photos for fun during school events. After getting positive feedback, I decided to offer my services for birthday parties and family portraits. It’s been amazing turning something I love into a small business that’s growing every day.
Seeing my friends post about parties or trips I wasn’t invited to gives me major FOMO. It makes me feel left out, even though I know I can’t be everywhere at once. How do you manage the fear of missing out when social media makes it so visible?
I used to be really self-conscious about my appearance, especially my skin. But over time, I’ve realized that everyone has their insecurities, and what matters most is how I see myself. What’s one insecurity you’ve learned to accept, and how did you get there?
I was devastated when I didn’t make the soccer team this year, but instead of giving up, I trained harder and focused on improving for next season. It was a tough lesson, but it taught me that setbacks don’t define you. How do you find motivation to keep going after disappointments?
I used to think if I wasn’t achieving big things, I wasn’t progressing. But I’ve realized that celebrating the little wins along the way makes a huge difference. I want to become a photographer, so I set a goal to learn one new technique each month. What’s a recent win you’ve celebrated?
