When I was 16, I was a shy overachiever, always working and in love. If I could talk to my 16 year old self I would say:
- “Please, don’t fall to hard, you’re young and he won’t be around for long”
- “Stop working so much, sit back and smell the roses”
- “Don’t beat yourself up. You aren’t perfect but one day someone will appreciate you for who you are.”
- “NEVER stop writing!”
- “Don’t cry so much. You’re beautiful, inside and out. Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will always teach you”
- “Stop being afraid to get to know people. you’re amazing! The best friends you’ll ever have are the ones you least expect”.
- “Eventually, every heartbreak you feel will be worth it”
- “When you’re 20 — NOT HIM”
- “Appreciate your family as often as possible, you only have 1.”
- “LOVE — Like you’ve never been hurt”
This post has me thinking back to my teenage years about a lot of memories and people. It’s funny how time flies and how people you never expected to leave are gone.
