Letter to a Younger Me

Hello younger me. I've learned some things about you I want to share with you. This will make your life easier, so I hope you'll take this seriously
1. Don’t be so willing and in a rush to be responsible because once you’ve got it there’s no letting it go.
2. Always remember how fun it is to live life how you want it.
3. Don’t be so sure that others know where happiness lies, because they probably don’t.
4. You have lots to teach others.
5. Other people don’t overanalyze everything, so no reason why you should.
6. Sometimes doing the right thing is not the right thing for you.
7. So what if your over-brimming personality is so very different from others, don’t think it’s a bad thing.
8. You don’t have to try to make everyone your friend and keep them pleased, you can still disagree with them and they won’t hate you.
9. You are stronger than you think, and can do things you didn’t believe you could.
10. There’s nothing wrong with working for what you want.
11. Some people DO appreciate what you do.
12. Live like no one has to approve or validate what you do, there is no test to pass.
13. Say exactly what you mean, don’t expect others to infer what you want.
14. You are more honest than a lot of people, and some people can appreciate that.
15. You are intuitive with others’ feelings, trust that gut.
16. The more you think you know, the less you really know.
17. No one is perfect, including you, accept it and move on.
18. Face your fears and they will disappear.
19. There is a part in everyone, including you, that defies logic and is uncontrollable. It’s okay to not be in control.
20. You are a natural leader, don’t be afraid to take on the role because of what people might think.
21. Don’t wait to tell people how you feel, it might be too late if you wait.
22. Don’t waste the good moments in life, they pass much too quickly.
23. Be present, live in the now, plan for later.
24. Sunsets are beautiful and should be shared.
25. Beaches are your weakness.
26. You are not as tough as you think, you are the gentlest person you know.
27. You constantly do stuff for other people, but most times it is not reciprocated so don’t feel bad.
28. Buy more stylish clothes and shoes with higher heels, not for the material aspect but for the way it makes you feel.
29. You catch on to things very quickly, you are an extremely fast learner, so don’t worry if you don’t know how to do everything at the moment.
30. Remember those little girl feelings? Yeah, they never go away, you don’t ever quite grow up all the way.
31. And it’s okay to have secrets, you don’t have to tell everyone everything about yourself.

See you soon.
