Throughout the years you learn a lot about the world as well as yourself. Yet when we're growing up the smallest things seem like the biggest deal in the world, when reality it's not. Here's what your older self wants your younger self to know.
1. If it won't matter in five years, it doesn't matter now.
It happens so often that we get so sucked into petty drama whether it's with your group of friends or your family. As long as no one is sick or hurt, it doesn't matter now, it won't matter later.
2. Stop apologizing!
This one I am still working on. You don't have to apologize for brushing up against someone, you don't have to apologize for being annoying (you only have to do that if someone tells you you're being annoying but even then. Just stop).
3. It's never too late to get started on something.
Everyone always says, "I'll put it off for tomorrow." But tomorrow never gets here! Whether it's going to the gym or trying to eat better, or getting started on a pick project, the trains leave every 15 minutes. CATCH THE NEXT ONE!
4. You're not too busy.
I know you may fight me on this one, but yes you are not too busy to commit to going to the gym or agreeing to help your friend move. The time you spend looking at your phone or reading social media. You have enough time to be productive and get stuff done!
5. HYDRATE!
Still working on this one... I love my Diet Coke. But honestly, if it's not already obvious, water is good for you! It's good for your skin, your body, your health...I could name more but you can look that up on your own. Drink water kids! It's also refreshing.
There are five pieces of advice we're better off learning late than never!
