9. To love herself
Before this girl became the strong woman she is today, she was convinced that putting herself first was selfish.
She worried that she would be seen as self-centered if she prioritized herself over everyone else.
But with time, she understood that this was exactly what she had to do if she wanted to be truly happy.
She learned the importance of self-love and self-respect and she realized she could never expect others to love or appreciate her if she didn’t do so herself.
And most importantly, this girl realized that she was the only one who could make herself happy.
She realized that she was in charge and in control of her life and for the first time ever, she actually started working on her own happiness.
