  • Not to nitpick but I think chav is more like white trash for Americans. Redneck is more rural or Southern, and may or may not be white trash. Although I suppose there are chavs of color so it's not a perfect analogy.

    • Protect your time and your peace. You don't always have to say yes to every request or invitation. Get comfortable with saying no and advocate for yourself.
    • Prioritize your physical health. Drink a bunch of water, commit to a regular weightlifting regimen, learn about nutrition, count your calories and macros, watch out for saturated fat and limit your sugar, eat a fuckton of protein (1 gram per pound of ideal body weight), make sure you get at least 25 grams of fiber daily, and limit alcohol and caffeine. The goal is to age healthily!
    • SUNSCREEN. For godsake use mineral sunscreen with both titanium and zinc. Not because it'll help keep you looking young (although that is a nice side effect), but because you are pale as fuck and the dermatologist is gonna have to remove a bunch of things from you in your thirties, and you'll hate the scars.
    • Yes you need to floss. No it's not optional.
    • Learn to differentiate between need and want. I need a roof over my head. I want that new eyeshadow palette. Most of your spending should go toward needs, and set aside a small amount for wants. The rest goes in savings (consider that a need too).
    • It's OK to be imperfect, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for perfection.

    And

    • Be proud of yourself!
    • If they smell good
    • If they take pride in their appearance
    • If they can make me laugh
    • If I feel safe to be myself around them
    • If they make me think
    • If they have green eyes (I'm a sucker for green eyes)
    • If they're kind
    • If they take a genuine interest in me

    The smelling good thing is huge for me. Some animal part of my brain craves the way my husband smells, for example. Not deodorant or shaving cream, but just his smell. 🤷🏻‍♀️
