Growing up is one of the most painfully horrifying and unbearably
exciting things any of us will ever do. Like anyone else, I’ve made many mistakes;
some are ones I wish I could erase from history. If I could do it again, I’d
come equipped with more self-respect and a lot more confidence... Maybe even a
better sense of fashion too!
Here are some things I'd tell my younger self..
- Don't give up on your hobbies. If you love to draw and paint, then do it! You'll have an easier time figuring out who you are by doing what you love than being someone you're not.
- Don't worry so much about popularity and being 'cool', You'll never see these people again anyway.
- Listen to your friends and family when they say a guy isn't good for you. They know you better than you think they do.
- Just know that you're going to make mistakes. Remember to consider them lessons, and don't be so hard on yourself.
- Just say yes. Its okay to do things that seem a little scary, that's how you'll grow.
- Don't wear those ugly brown pants that you thought were so cool... Ever!
- Make a better effort to keep connected to old friends. You'll regret it if you let those wonderful people walk out of your life.
- What other people do and say about you has very little to do with you. It's just a reflection of them.
- Don't change who you are to suit others. It doesn't matter so much what others think of you. It only matters what you think of yourself.
- No matter what, everything is going to be alright. :)
What would you say to your younger self if given the chance?
Have a wonderful weekend

I agree completely with 'Don't worry so much about popularity and being 'cool', You'll never see these people again anyway' - I am not sure I would have believed older me though!
ReplyDeleteMy addition to the list - I would tell younger me to spend more time with my family - especially my grandparents.
Love your blog - truly beautiful :-)
