To My 16 year old Self
List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could.
1.) Food is good for you... don't use it as a form of control and punishment. I know life feels out of control but Pepsi and fries does not constitute a healthy diet. Eat fruits and veggies and enjoy life. Don't hurt your health because you think you aren't worth anything.
2.) Listen to your friends and parents when they tell you to be careful about that boy... They were right!
3.) Don't let go of your dreams, your friends, yourself for said boy. He was so not worth the pain he caused.
4.) Enjoy all school has to offer. So what if you don't get the lead in the musical... enjoy your role in chorus :)
5.) Get back in the deep water while you can, in other words face your fear. Life will be more fun.
6.) Don't hide from life. Books are great but live the life in front of you.
7.) Don't worry so much about what people think of you. You are beautiful and smart and all around amazing.
8.) Good for you for keeping your closest friend close. She'll be one of your best friends forever. (22 years and counting Nicole!)
9.) Don't hang onto your anger. Let people make mistakes and forgive them quickly. You'll keep more people in your life that way.
10.) That boy you'e been crushing on since you were 14... go ahead and love him, it's all going to work out just fine. He's the best friend and husband you could ever ask for.
