Dear Eighteen Year Old Self:This is yourself at twenty eight, pay attention because I know more than you do.Don’t obsess about your body, enjoy the size 2 or 6 that you are now because as you get older it will be harder to stay like that. Don’t take diet pills, they really don’t do much and will forever screw up your metabolism so you won’t be able to lose weight. I know this sucks, you want a simple solution but I can tell you that 10 years later that hasn’t changed. Learn to be healthy now.I know you think your boyfriend is the love of your life and you will think this for a few years but he’s not, the love of your life will come in time, just be patient. You will date a lot of guys that are wrong from you but it’s ok, it’s a learning experience. Your heart will break many times but don’t lose faithYou are a sensitive girl and will always be sensitive but that’s ok, it’s not a bad thing. If you have to cry just cry, if you need to be alone it’s ok. Make sure to take care of yourself first because you should be number one in your life, everything else will work itself out. Don’t let it overwhelm you, you have an amazing life ahead of you with so many truly happy moments.Right now you have no idea who you are or what you want to do with your life, this won’t change but you’ll come to terms with it. Nobody really knows themselves or not completely at least, it’s a day to day thing.The future is worth it, I promise. Don’t test your life, just enjoy everyday for what it is. Some days are harder than others but there is always a good one somewhere around the corner. Your life is worth a lot and there are a lot of people you will meet that will be glad you stuck around.Oh and one more thing…when they say not to mix beer and liquor they mean it…there is nothing fun about the result.Love,You In ten Years
