Soo happy after a long search- Favorite bit of advice: “Second, don’t get all excited if some boy is nice to you. Ain’t the mailman nice to you? And what about your teachers, the drunk on the corner or the little boy up the street? Nice ain’t nothing much. shoot, I’m nice to the snaggletoothed woman who scrubs the floors where I work. You think I wanna date her? Let me get back to the point. Alicia, you deserve a boy who is more than nice to you. Women be thinking nice is enough. It ain’t. It’s a low bar to set for yourself. You deserve a boy who’s gonna respect you.” (pg. 214)
“Do not chase people. Be you and do your own thing and work hard. The right people who belong in your life will come to you, and stay.”
