If you could go back and give your teenage self advice what would it be?

Answered 4 years ago

Have the courage to be bad at something,
no one starts something new without being bad at it first, start it anyway and see it through,

Your potential lies in your imagination,

You inner worth is worth far more than you’ve been led to believe

And finally, learn to be resourceful and self reliant because you never know when tragedy will strike. There will be times when there’s not one soul you can turn to so make sure you have at least yourself and that you’re in the right frame of mind to handle things.

Your life until you were 21 was golden, keep those people close. They're not perfect but at least they're real, honest & love you for who you are. You are going to fall in with a bad crowd everyone is not who they seem, there is agendas, lies, underhanded tactics, jealousy. They will take advantage of your good heart & you'll be forever changed. Love openly and hard, don't let him take that from you. Try and save money & find some career focus now, it's so important. Stay away from men in bars. Stand up for what you believe in always. Stay strong. Fate has got your back. Those that struggle the most are rewarded with the greatest gifts. It's all going to come together in the end...You'll see him on the other side. Love love love always.

See I'd give my teenage self very specific advice. Shit like: BestFriends1&2 are only friends with you because they want to get their dicks wet, and that's just not good enough.
-it's okay to have a fwb situation with someone and to stay single
-alllllllllll "those" boys are toxic. Yep, even That One.
-your family is exactly as bad as everyone said, and you're only enabling their bullshit by turning a blind eye
-ParentsFriend2 is a fucking creep. Do not trust him. Call out his weird shit.
-ParentsFriend1 is a good guy, even if he calls you out for being a shit head
-that friend is using you
-These People in your school year are in serious need of mental help, be nicer to them. They're going through a lot of shit internally and at home.
-your career aspirations are not what you think they are. Think about the core reason that role appeals to you and explore that.
-you ain't fat
-learn to cook
-be your own fucking hero.
