What is something you would say to your younger self?

I would tell myself that there is no shame in asking for help. There is no weakness in vulnerability, and if you need help, ask for it. You don’t have to be afraid of being judged.

Chances favors those who are prepared.

@CheeryMango Don't start drinking. It is not worth it.

1. You're not wrong for caring! It's a beautiful thing! But don't forget that you need care too.

2. You may not feel like you belong right now, and that's okay. You don't realize this yet, but there's a reason you're different, and the world needs the kind of different that you are.

3. Life will test you, and keep on testing you. Sometimes it will feel unfair. Sometimes you won't know what to do. But every step of the way, you will be given a choice, whether you realize it or not. The choice is this: stay down because you're tired or scared of fighting. Or get up, dust yourself, and let the world know that you're still in the game!

Dear younger me,

Listen I know life can be hard but, you have to keep moving and keep going. That little lamb stuffed animal that you love so much won't mean anything to you once you lose grandpa. Oh! Tell Grandpa I said hi and that he is more of a dad than anyone else could be! And also, don't make Marcus mad at the party, please. I could really go through life without any more trama, anyways I got to go. Bye!

Don't be friends with certain people, all they do is hurt.

@CheeryMango to give yourself a break, life is stressful and at times overwhelming.

@CheeryMango "Fuck you and stop being a piece of shit"

I’m sorry.

I would tell my younger self to be less hard on themself in regards to academics.
