I sometimes look back on my life and think to myself "what could I have done differently?" As I've gotten older, I've learned so much over the years that I wish I would have known sooner. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self what life has taught me so I wouldn't be so hard on myself. These are a few of the things I would tell my young self:
1. Don't care so much about what other people will think of you.
There will be people who will think positively and negatively about you. However, do not let what other people think of you effect your life.
2. Appreciate every moment while you're young.
Because you only live once, and you're only young once.
3. Do NOT over pluck your eyebrows.
Pencil thin eyebrows are not cute and never will be cute.
4. Don't depend so much on other people.
You can do anything without anyone by your side. No one should hold you back from what you want.
5. Listen to the advice your parents give you.
They know what they're talking about when they say that boy is no good for you or if one of your friends seems "fake."
6. Prepare for heartaches.
Some people are going to hurt you. Just because the moment feels right, doesn't mean it will last forever. People come and go
7. Do your best in school.
In the end, it will definitely help you. All your hard work will pay off.
8. Use the right shade of foundation.
Yes, I know you want to be tan, but you look ridiculous with an orange face.
9. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion.
Your opinion matters just like everyone else's.
