Hi guys, my name is Lauren Curtis. I've been on social media since 2011 and since then I've grown a following of over 7 million people across my platforms. And I have learnt a lot along the way. The Mental Makeover podcast shares real, very honest advice on all things happiness, body image, self-love, relationships, spirituality and reaching your goals.

0:33.2

going to be a long episode, perhaps just a little bite-sized chunk of chat.

0:38.9

And Lisa Simpson is me.

0:56.0

And Bart Simpson, the text, says,

0:58.2

someone who wouldn't do the same for me.

1:00.3

So it's basically saying, like, me,

1:02.7

caring for someone that wouldn't care for me in the same way.

1:06.3

And the picture on the right is a picture of Kim Kardashian looking awkward.

1:10.2

So then it made me think,

1:12.8

you know what? Yeah, I feel that. And I retweeted saying, as I've gotten older, I've

1:19.7

realized that fierce loyalty only ever benefits the other person, never really yourself.

1:27.2

The amount of times I've been backing someone on something

1:30.2

110% and then the next day they're BFFs with the person that hurt them and I'm like, okay, cool,

1:37.7

waste of my time. And then I tweeted another tweet and replied to that one saying,

1:41.8

perhaps I just can't understand how people can forgive people

1:45.5

who hurt them so quickly i'm too stubborn and proud if you can hurt me badly once chances are you'll do it

1:52.5

again and it was quite a successful tweet so i feel like people are in agreeance with me. Here are some responses to that tweet.
