i tried to find a nice picture of me when i was 16, unfortunately i lost most of my pictures so...
Here's what i would tell a younger me.
- you probably should have started posting youtube videos at this age.
- don't worry about material things because it'll just depress you. try - though i know it's dificult - and realise that most of the population of the world have less than you do. count your blessings.
- you're probably more childish at 19 than you are now.
- don't rely on your friends too much.
- you're not going to change much over the next 4 years appearance-wise and you'll likely not change much 4 years after that. life is not like in the movies, you'll not become drastically different looking when you become an adult. a different actor doesn't step in to play grown-up you. pro tip: looking in the mirror is easier if you try and picture yourself through the eyes of someone that isn't yourself. put simply: if you look for flaws, you'll find them. also, stop trying to look good in photos. it fails. just smile and be yourself. they're always the best pictures.
6. "words are wind" - a quote that means nothing to you now but it will eventually~ just try not to let the gust of insults that will come your way knock you down. words are wind and they'll blow over soon.
7. you're going to give up on religion some day. don't freak out. instead, try and grasp the idea that there is only one life and this is all you get. live for today because you never know when your tomorrow will be snatched from you. (the secret is that you don't really give up on)
8. your wayward sister turns out better than you do.
9. you know that thing that's nagging the back of your mind almost constantly? it's okay.
10. most importantly: keep calm. take deep breaths and don't panic. it always works out somehow. and the worst never happens.
