If you cause drama for yourself and others are you really happy? A lifefull of drama is never boring, but it's not gonna improve your life. If you do a lot of gossiping, that makes you look untrustworthy. If you complain all the time, it makes others not want to be around you.

There is nothing wrong with helping someone, but when you start to feel the
help has gone to far, that's when you know someone is taking advantage of
you.

What should you do when someone you're related to (or close to) turns on
you? First of all, you must realize that when someone turns on you that
does not give you permission to turn on yourself. You're still important.
You're still lovable. You're still valuable.

When I was younger, I wanted to do a lot of things: sing, act, dance,
gymnastics, and so much more. But guess what?...I did none of them.
My low self-esteem held me back. I was scared of what people would
do if they saw me. Would they laugh? Would I get booed off stage? I
was afraid I wouldn't be good enough. I think about this now, and I
wish I had tried at least one of Katrina Curetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11697226816448223496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120560594603278481.post-58180913881661297232018-04-05T11:41:00.000-04:002018-04-05T11:50:44.879-04:00Desperate for Love
I know you can't help who you fall in love with, but if you're interested in
someone who is taken, you need to let it go. Why would you set yourself
up for a guaranteed heartbreak? I've known several women who started
dating married men, and none of those men left their wives. Don't be so

If You Feel Broken...
Make up your mind to improve your life.
Construct your existence so it feels just right.
No one has your soul and energy.
You're a person of value...
set your mind free.
We can all become better...
determine your how.
Don't wait for tomorrow;
just do it right now.
Decide your life should be a thrill.
And one day soon your heart will heal.

Everybody knows that safety is an issue when it comes to being online, but
now that you can be live on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, I think
safety is even more of an issue...especially for young people.
Sure, there are some adults that shouldn't be live, but when you're young,
you're live, and people know your location, you're putting yourself in some
major danger.Katrina Curetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11697226816448223496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120560594603278481.post-55069530230965187882017-06-09T11:24:00.000-04:002017-06-09T11:30:16.893-04:00Stand Up For Yourself
My sister had to have three warts removed from her hands, and she was told
the procedure would only require a local anesthetic. But two days before the
surgery, she was told she'd have to be sedated. She questioned the need for
sedation and the secretary said, "Everybody does it." I told her sedation made
no sense, and I looked up hand surgery for warts online. Not Katrina Curetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11697226816448223496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120560594603278481.post-4455294142383080112017-05-02T10:19:00.000-04:002017-05-02T10:19:52.379-04:00The Benefits of Confidence

I can remember it like yesterday...the way it felt to have low self-esteem. I
would sometimes stare into the mirror and cry. I felt unlovable and unhappy.
I felt useless and ugly. I felt jealous and I was hateful. That's what low self-
esteem feels like. Although some people have enough self-esteem to fill a
room, many people do not.

create another goal.
5. Don't be jealous of anyone, because nobody has it all.
6. Try to live an organized life.
7. Smile even when you don't want to.

Sometimes I see people and I wonder if they know who they really are. If
you're someone who constantly needs the approval of someone else, you're
too dependent on other people's opinions of you.
Do you always agonize over what to wear? Do you endlessly worry about
getting a lot of likes on social media? When meeting new people, are you
afraid they won't like you?

It seems like too many articles focus on how we look. There's always advice
on how to be wrinkle-free, how to style your hair, and how to make your nail
polish last longer. But what about being attractive from the inside? That's
also important.
How many times have you been attracted to someone from the outside, but
once you got to know them they were ugly from the inside?

It's getting harder and harder to watch TV, and to not hear about someone
that has hurt or killed a group of innocent people. Sure, some of them
may have been mentally ill, but some of them simply have low self-
esteem.
Low self-esteem can push someone over the edge. In the past when my
