Last weekend I visited my family friend’s home and we had a good conversation with each other. My friend gave me some good life advice and I really appreciated it. She told me I should be clear with what I want to get in life (life decisions), this means I must have life goals and get closer to my dream step by step. She also gave me some encouragement and this made me feel very confident. She encouraged me to be positive and to chase my dream. We also talked about with finding a boyfriend, she told me that a good boy should have a sense of responsibility, generosity and he should be a family man.
