A Letter from my 21 Year Old Self
It is more than okay to be different. You will struggle more trying to figure out why being unique isn’t seen more often. Embrace the uncommon attributes.
It is okay to fail. I have failed many things, yet am still doing fine. DO NOT beat yourself up. Failing is a part of the entire package we call life. In the end, it’s about the strength you gained to stand back up again.
Stop plucking your eyebrows. (Sigh)
Wear what you please. Fashion is a way to express YOU. Be bold and not influenced. It does not matter.
Check whether your foundation actually matches your skin before leaving the house.
MOM IS ALWAYS RIGHT. ALWAYS. Even when you think she is not. Mother is, and your doubt will come and bite you in the behind.
Middle school will change you. In a bad way. See to that sooner.
Not all friendships are meant to last. True friends are hard to find. Don’t let anyone blame you for trying. Sometimes ending things is for the better.
Don’t be afraid to ask for psychological help. Instead of suffering for an increased amount of time; get help before it’s too late. Mental illness will come; a minor setback to your life. Nothing to be ashamed of.
