10 Things I learnt recently

1. You teach people how to treat you. Teach respect. 
2. If someone really wants you in their lives, they will make an effort to make you a part of it (and it won’t feel like an effort to them) 
3.  Good friends tell you the truth, even when you wish they wouldn’t.
4.  People do not call each other enough anymore – it’s something I really want to start doing a lot more. 
5.  ‘Spiced pumpkin’ Yankee candles make me think of winter holidays I’ve never had. 
6.  The real risk is doing nothing. 
7.  Sometimes it’s better to have swiped right, and lost, then never to have swiped at all
8.  I’m absolutely obsessed with the sushi and white chocolate martinis at Sevruga restaurant (at the V& A waterfront) – If I could eat there every day, I probably would. 
9.  Broken hearts suck, but you learn a lot from them. HERE is a list of lessons we should  all have learnt from our heartbreaks.
10. This is really good advice: 'If you have to force it, just leave it alone.. Relationships, friendships, ponytails... Just leave it.’ - Reyna Biddy
