What would I advise the 20 year old me? At first I thought of all the changes I WOULD make, mistakes I would NOT make, fears I would address, decisions I would think twice about, etc. Who wouldn't want a do-over? After a few moments of reflection, I can say that person would be me.
If I changed and had a do-over, I would not be in the place I am today. I would not know the people I know or love the people I love. I would have regrets- just different ones. Things happend the way they were meant to be.
Dear Chica,
You're something! Everyone is something! Be the best you can be. Help everyone else be the best they can be. Always be kind, but don't mistake being kind for letting someone take advantage of you.
You're doing okay. Don't change ANYTHING. The path you are taking is leading you to some really, really cool, unexpected, wonderful people and places. It's gonna take you a little longer to get there than most, but I PROMISE it will come when it is supposed to. (And the naysayers of the world can suck it if you end a sentence in a preposition)
Forget fear and practice forgiveness......Those two things are your biggest challenges.
Learn to love yourself.
Love,
The Future Woman waiting for you.
P.S. Please, DO NOT wear your hair like that. Seriously? Permy Wormy hair.... The mall rat look will last forever in those pictures. Just be glad Facebook, Instagram or Twitter do not exist to archive the little wild streak your 20 year old self is currently enjoying in fashion, dating and other extra curricular activities. Oh, Lord, be glad!
