What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Stand up for yourself and don’t try to make everybody happy, you can’t.
Not everyone is your friend, no matter what they say or do.
Don’t be afraid to hurt somebody else’s feelings if you have to sacrifice yourself.
Realize that you are introverted and that not doing a bunch of stupid stuff because the crowd wants to is not a good enough reason to do it.
Take your time and enjoy what you are doing. It will go by too quickly. You don’t have to do everything right away. Life will let you get the experience if you give it time.
I have a couple of readers (you know who you are) who give way better answers than I do because they’ve had different experiences than I have. I wonder what they will say?
