Turning 30

At the end of the day, the best advice I could

give to any girl in their 20’s, is that you can’t change anyone, and when you meet the right person you won’t want to. With all this being said, we walked away from this relationship respecting each other. They say everyone comes into your life for a reason. For us, it wasn’t love. For me, it was a friendship... and it was this business. Empowered is a brand because he believed in it. At the time, he

believed in me more than I did. I was so focused on making the relationship work at the time, I didn’t realize how the turbulence of the relationship was turning me into who I was going to be.

A Stronger person than I ever was. As I reflect, I am positive that these relationships changed me for the better.

Both of these individuals were exactly who and what I needed in my twenties. I walked away learning so much about life and friendship . Once you accept that some relationships are temporary, you can learn to stop blaming yourself for what you see as relationship failures. Instead take them for what

they are – helpful life lessons. . I think we are all looking for a lifetime of love and laughter, not anger and tears. It’s important in your twenties to start learning from past relationship mistakes.
