25 Things You Should Never Apologize For
1. Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, transfer schools or move across country, always do what you really want.
2. Never apologize for using proper English. Keeping it real doesn't mean speaking Ebonics.
3. Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just
didn't work out.
4. Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level.
5. Never apologize for crying. Wear a waterproof mascara and express yourself.
6. Never apologize for the ten pounds you need to lose. People who truly care about you will accept you as you are.
7. Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your
money rather than blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn't mean you're cheap.
8. Don't apologize for being a single mom. Babies are blessings not mistakes.
9. Never apologize for treating yourself to something special.
Whether it's a great dinner, a soothing facial, or a banging outfit,
sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation.
10. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. YOUR SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PRIORITY.
11. Never apologize for keeping the ring even if the wedding bells
won't chime. Hey, it was a gift.
12. Never apologize for setting high standards in relationships. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your last nerve.
13. Never apologize for just saying NO.
14. Never apologize for asking for what you want in bed. If you
don't, then who will?
15. Never apologize for wearing a weave. You bought it so it's yours.
16. Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There's a reason why she's been your girl since day one.
17. Never apologize for ordering dessert. Or, more than one dessert.
18. Never apologize for dating outside your race. Just because you found Mr. Right-across-the-color line doesn't mean you don't love the brothas.
19. Never apologize for asking him to wear a condom. If he really
likes you he'll wrap it up without making you feel guilty.
20. Never apologize for not knowing how to cook. Even if you can't BURN like grandma you know how to order good take-out.
21. Never apologize for your taste in clothing. It's your style.
22. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR CHANGING YOUR MIND.
23. Never apologize for exercising your right to choose. It's your
body and your life.
24. Never apologize for making more money than your man makes. You work hard and you deserve to get paid.
25. Never apologize for being you.
