What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Don’t try so hard.

You perfectionism will not get you the results that you think it will.

You can shoot for your dreams, and please do, but that doesn’t mean you’ll ever reach them.

Learn to be happy in the here and now with what’s right in front of you and be grateful for what you have.

Extract every happiness from every moment that you can. Even a cup of coffee and a sunrise can be amazing. (And yes, it just might be as good as it gets for that day.)

You’re not wrong, the glass is half full. Just make sure you know what it’s full of before you drink it.

Follow your bliss, but make sure you made that bliss for yourself, in that place between your ears.

    Also liking that this makes me wonder how would your teenage self react to you (especially to you being her future self).

    She’d probably think I was a pessimist! 😂

    If she thinks that, you can say to her that even if you are, you are at least more realistic and more prepared for the worst than she is and that you are not naive like she seems to be.

    I like how your mind works. You seem creative and you seem to enjoy questioning things. Yes I was fresh off the turnip truck, as it were.
