"If you could meet your sixteen-year-old self now, what five things would you say?"
1. Trust yourself. Your opinions and judgments are just as valid as the world's. Don't let them dictate your life but don't completely ignore them either.
2. It's okay to ask for help. It always makes the problem easier and seem smaller. It only hurts your pride and that can heal.
3. It's okay to say no. Live for yourself sometimes. You don't ever need to feel obligated to please others just because.
4. You're still young so have a fucking blast. Do stupid and irresponsible things from time to time as long as you stay safe and smart about it. It always makes for a good story in the end.
5. It gets better. Even if you may not believe it in the moment, know that in the long run life always gets better for you.
