Advice for my former teenage self:

  • It’s a waste of your time to worry about what people think of you. There will always be haters, and it’s rarely about you and even more rarely your problem. Let them hate. 
  • We create our own realities; you can do absolutely anything you want to. Define success for yourself, make your own rules, take chances, create and break habits, dream big, and make mistakes. Those mistakes are the best teachers you’ll ever have; feel no shame.
  • You’re responsible for every part of your life: your happiness, time, health, money, feelings, housekeeping, orgasms, screw-ups, etc. No one will ever prioritize you above themselves; be your own #1. Never rent that space to anyone else. Set standards, hold yourself accountable, celebrate glory, admit error and wrong-doing, apologize when necessary, clean up your own messes. This is the only door to growth, fulfillment, and success. 
  • Never compromise or choose agreeability over another option. Placating people is a waste of time; the people worth knowing will still be there whether you agree or not.
  • When someone tells you they can’t live without you, prove them wrong. Never share your heart or your time with anyone who needs it to thrive; they’ll consume it until there’s none left for you or anything else.
  • There’s always a reason to be grateful. Never take anything or anyone for granted. Celebrate the good daily; what you focus on is what you’ll see more of.
  • Jealousy is an incredibly useless emotion. Don’t compare yourself to other people. Be happy for them; use them as inspiration. 
  • Your health is your life. Eat right and exercise. Do it every day, even when you don’t feel like it. You’ll never regret doing it, but you will regret not doing it. And it’s okay to have dessert when you earn it.
