Say something different.

Be prepared for everything.

either a negative

or a positive answer

It does not matter at all.

Whether you're right or wrong,

just be you and follow your heart

I simply wish you would choose yourself

It's not selfishness

consider your life and what you need

stop pleasing others

learn to disappoint them

do not feel guilty

focus on yourself

focus on your own future

learn how to support yourself

create a plan to generate income

Stop asking and bowing to others.

Remember, if you feel shy,

to step up, and focus on you.

Your life will be doomed.

You won't achieve your ambitions.
