It's my 21st birthday today, and of course, I'm wicked excited for it! I feel like over the past few years, I have grown a lot. I'm learning new things, and I wish the younger me could have realized them. So I wrote a list about it: 21 Things I Wish to Tell My Past Self. If I had known these things when I was younger, I would have been much happier.
1. It's not the end of the world if he dumped you. You will get over it and find someone better.
2. You should stop worrying about what others want you to do and focus on what you want to do.
